NORTH INDIA

Delhi, Agra, Khajurao and Varanasi - the finest quintessence of medieval and Moghul art and architecture in Northern India.


The northern sweep has witnessed the bursts of creative energy by the great dynasties and invaders. Capital of India, Delhi is two cities in one - the Old Delhi of the Mughals, still a medieval place of forts, mosques and bazaars and New Delhi built by the British. The flood plains of Mother Ganges leading up to the cool of the hills. Taj Mahal Agra, to stand before the shimmer of the Taj Mahal, the greatest shrine of love, the quintessence of Mughal art. The sensual temples of Khajuraho, the addictive draw of India's sacred city of Varanasi and the frantic heartbeat of the Hindu religion flowing in the Ganges with the candles that float to light the spirits from the burning pyres.


Towards the Himalayas where tigers and leopards roam in the western foothill parks of Corbett and Dudhwa, close by the pilgrimage cities of Hardwar and Rishikesh.

And in the North we travel:
traditional motif beyond the great landmarks to remoter places; to Gwalior Fort and the unchanged 16th century town of Orcha, to the elegant palace of Datia.
traditional motif to the rivers for the rush of white water rafting.
traditional motif to silently stalk the tigers of Corbett Park on elephant safaris.
traditional motif To the secluded ashram of Tapovan where the holy Ganges starts its flow.
traditional motif Further south to the Tiger country of Kanha and Bandhavgarh.
