Flights usually depart London in the evening.
Delhi; transfer to Jaipur
Our adventure begins in Delhi, a city full of architectural masterpieces. Meet the group either at a named meeting point (normally the Hotel Bloom Karol Bagh) or Delhi Airport – see the Joining Instructions for more information.
Once everyone has arrived, we depart for Jaipur, which may take between five and seven hours, depending on traffic conditions. There’s a lunch and toilet stop along the way and we have a welcome briefing at the hotel just before dinner.
If you don’t want to do this journey straight after your flight, we recommend spending a pre-tour night in Delhi – speak to your sales representative to book.
Accommodation: 7 Apple Hotel – Jalmahal (or similar)
Arrive Delhi; transfer to Jaipur
Those who are on the group flights will land in Delhi in the morning. Those not on the group flights will need to be at the start hotel by 9am (or at the airport when the group land). A local representative will meet Land Only clients at the start hotel and provide a transfer to the airport where we meet clients arriving on the group flight. Once everyone has arrived we will then depart on the drive to Jaipur, which may take between five to seven hours depending upon traffic conditions.
Accommodation: Standard hotel
Explore Jaipur; tour a textiles factory
Rise early, heading out for a dawn walking tour as the Pink City begins to wake. Visiting different chowkris (blocks) within the walled city, we see the local people start their day and watch the rituals that take place in early morning markets and small temples. We can also interact with different artisan communities, while also sampling local food and drink.
We return to the hotel in time for a later breakfast and to freshen up, before we head out again mid-morning. We visit one of the most intriguing sites in India, Jantar Mantar (Jaipur Observatory), an assembly of immense marble-and-brass astronomical instruments in a pleasant garden. We also see the impressive landmark, the Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds). Then travel just outside the main city to the Amber Palace, an imposing hilltop fort above a lake with large courtyards, finely decorated interiors and a Chamber of Mirrors.
After, the tour leader generally takes the group to a textiles factory, which employs more than 400 local people. Tour the building to see every step of the production process, from block printing materials, pattern designing and assembly, to packaging and shipping. At the end, browse the shop and pick up anything from a complete outfit to handmade notebooks created with offcuts, so nothing is wasted.
Accommodation: Hotel 7 Apple – Jalmahal (or similar)
To Ranthambore; afternoon game drive in search of the elusive tiger
We wind through the villages of rural India to Ranthambore Tiger Reserve (approximately a five hour drive); staying in a hotel not far from the park entrance, we’re well located for our two game drives in the park; one in the late afternoon and one the following morning.
Ranthambore is one of the reserves set up by Project Tiger, a government-backed conservation programme launched in 1973. There was initial success, but poaching has drastically reduced the tiger population here and the chance of spotting one is small; however, many of our groups have seen tigers over the last few years. Additionally, the latest census, the results of which were announced in late 2023, saw a 25 percent increase in tiger numbers: up to 88 from 69 in 2022.
As we search for tigers, we also hope to see the other wildlife living here: several deer species, crocodiles, and bird life including purple herons, kingfishers, cormorants, parakeets and partridges.
Accommodation: Raj Palace Resort (or similar)
Please note, occasionally the game drive timings or zones may be adjusted depending on government restrictions and changes in national park zonal opening/closing times.
Morning game drive; drive to Agra via Fatehpur Sikri
We have an early start this morning, heading out before breakfast for our second game drive. Returning to the hotel in time for breakfast and a chance to freshen up before check out. We next continue our journey on to Agra via Fatehpur Sikri, Emperor Akbar’s deserted royal city.
This impressive and well-preserved citadel became his capital in 1571, after the blessing of a local Moslem holy man correctly predicted the birth of a longed-for son: his successor, the emperor Jehangir. The mosque, designed to hold 10,000 worshippers, the palaces, residences, and halls of audience, are all made of decorative red sandstone. But this magnificence only lasted 14 years. In 1584, Akbar left Fatehpur Sikri to secure his outlying territories, leaving this city much as we see it today – in perfect condition.
We arrive in Agra early evening, this is another very full but rewarding day. The total driving time is approximately seven hours.
Accommodation: Hotel Avalon Palms (or similar)
Visit the incredible Taj Mahal and Agra Fort; overnight train to Varanasi
Today we wake early to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise, which was built by the Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. The Taj is serenely beautiful and never fails to amaze a first-time visitor; the white marble exterior changes colour according to the position of the sun and is matched by the rich interior detail. Within striking distance is the imposing Red Fort of Akbar, whose mighty sandstone walls enclose the beautiful white marble Pearl Mosque and the palaces, halls, courtyards and fountains of Emperor Akbar’s sons and successors: Jehangir and Shah Jahan. It is here that the latter spent his last years, imprisoned by his own son Aurangzeb. Later in the day, we transfer to Agra train station and join the overnight sleeper train to Varanasi. A light snack is provided on the overnight train journey.
Accommodation: Sleeper train
Relax and enjoy the wonders of Varanasi
We arrive in Varanasi in the morning and transfer to our hotel. For information about hotel check-in times please see our “Worth Knowing” section within the Trip Notes.
On the river Ganges, Varanasi is one of the holiest cities in India and stands at the centre of the Hindu universe. As such, the city lives and breathes Hinduism: there are thousands of pilgrims, wandering holy men (Sadhus), religious elders and casual visitors. It is a city to immerse yourself in: explore the maze of narrow lanes and many temples and watch the Hindu ceremonies that take place around the clock. There is time to visit emporiums specialising in silks and brocades or maybe take a massage by the riverbanks.
In the afternoon, we can take an optional visit to nearby Sarnath Temple. Sarnath is as sacred to Buddhists as Varanasi is to Hindus. The main monument at Sarnath is the Dhamekh Stupa, the very spot where Buddha is believed to have given his first sermon. There’s also an archaeology museum, which exhibits Buddhist artefacts and houses the findings of excavations from the Sarnath site.
Your tour leader can organise various optional sightseeing trips during your two days here.
Accommodation: Hotel Surya (or similar)
Dawn boat ride on the Ganges visiting the bathing ghats; afternoon train to Delhi
Just before dawn, we take a boat ride on the Ganges to witness the extraordinary spectacle on the ghats, the steps leading down to the river. Every day, thousands of Hindu pilgrims come to this 3mi (5km) stretch of riverbank to soak in the holy waters.
This afternoon, we board the Vande Bharat Express train back to Delhi, a great opportunity to see and experience more of India as you pass through rural villages, towns and cities. A light snack dinner is provided, which usually includes a soup and light meal with rice and vegetables. You may wish to pick up some additional snacks/fruit prior to boarding.
We arrive in Delhi late evening and transfer to the hotel.
Accommodation: Bloom Hotel Karol Bagh (or similar)
Delhi free day or optional sightseeing
Today you are free to relax or explore the sites of New and Old Delhi (an optional sightseeing trip will be organised if you wish). Recommended sites include the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, India Gate, Jama Masjid (the largest mosque in India), Sheeshganj Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) and Raj Ghat.
For last-minute shopping, visit the market area of Chandni Chowk or Karol Bagh.
Accommodation: Bloom Hotel Karol Bagh (or similar)

Built in the late 18th century, Jaipur is a planned city of broad avenues constructed of sandstone and later painted pink. On a tour led by a local guide, we visit one of the most intriguing sights in India, the observatory of Jai Singh, an assembly of immense astronomical instruments in a pleasant garden. We also see the impressive Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds), then visit the hilltop Amber Fort, which sits above a lake a few miles from the main city.

Our first starts before breakfast, at around 6am. As we search for tigers, we also hope to see the other wildlife living here: several deer species, crocodiles, and bird life including purple herons, kingfishers, cormorants, parakeets and partridges.
We return in time for a later breakfast and a chance to relax and reflect on the wildlife spotted. We head out again for our second game drive around 2pm.
Accommodation: Raj Palace Resort (or similar)
Please note, occasionally the game drive timings or zones may be adjusted depending on government restrictions and changes in national park zonal opening/closing times.
Continue to Agra; visit Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal
Start with an early breakfast before travelling (four to five hours) to Agra, stopping en route for a snack lunch. We arrive this afternoon and start our half-day sightseeing tour, first visiting the Agra Fort, whose mighty sandstone walls enclose the white-marble Pearl Mosque and the palaces, halls, courtyards and fountains of Emperor Akbar’s sons and successors: Jehangir and Shah Jahan.
Later, we visit the Taj Mahal in time for sunset. Built by the Moghul emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631, the Taj is serenely beautiful and never fails to amaze a first-time visitor.

City and jungle hotels plus sleeper train
We stay in centrally located city hotels that mix heritage and modern styles, plus a jungle hotel in Ranthambore National Park and the overnight sleeper train from Agra to Varanasi.
The accommodations typically used are on the day-to-day itinerary. However, below are a few of the notable accommodations on this trip.
Jaipur: 7 Apple Hotel (nights 1-2)
The 7 Apple sits directly across from Jal Mahal Lake in the capital city of Rajasthan, Jaipur. Recently refurbished, it has modern and bright rooms with lake or Nahargarh Hill views.
Ranthambore: Raj Palace (night 3)
Within Ranthambore National Park, the Raj Palace is conveniently located so we don’t have far to go in search of tigers and other wildlife. When not in the forest, relax in the pool or just sit in the gardens giving your senses a break, away from the city noise and heat.
Agra to Varanasi: Sleeper train (night 5)
Experience an icon of travel: the Indian sleeper train! Our journey takes us from Agra to Varanasi, skipping the long drive, while also allowing us to interact with the local people and sample the snacks often sold on board. The accommodation is basic: we normally stay in two-tier sleepers, the compartments sectioned off from the aisle by privacy curtains. Seats are allocated at the time the tickets are issued, so the whole group isn’t always together; however, our tour leader is an expert at making the journey as hassle-free as possible and will regularly check in with you.
Delhi: Bloom Hotel, Karol Bagh (nights 7-8)
Bloom Hotel Karol Bagh is nestled in a commercial and residential area in Karol Bagh, and it’s conveniently located just five minutes from the metro station.
Worth knowing
- For Varanasi, standard check-in time at the hotel is 2pm. Early check-in is not available to pre-book due to high room occupancy. However, we have a good partnership with the hotel, and they always try to prioritise rooms for Exodus travellers as early as possible on the check-in day. Prior to check-in at Varanasi, the hotel communal areas are available and you may leave your luggage in the hotel until your room is available.
- Hotels in India usually do not have heating as there are only a couple of months when the weather can get cold. You can, however, request more blankets if needed or the hotel may be able to provide a standing heater for your room. Please talk to your tour leader if you need help in this matter.
- It’s common for hotels in India to have limited times in the day for hot water use to save energy. If you find your shower is cold, please let your leader or reception know so they can make sure the water heater is on.
- Within the sleeper train, you may be sharing a compartment of four beds with members of the public depending on how the seats are allocated.
- Single accommodation excludes sleeper trains.
September 2025 and onwards departures
- For departures on or after September 2025, we no longer use the sleeper train (as seen in the daily itinerary) and instead spend an extra night in Ranthambore.

Add your own reviewDream Come True
I have always wanted to visit India and this trip did not disappoint, its such a vibrant country full of traditions, colour and lots of smiles. The children we met who wanted photos of us along with everyone at India gate who we felt like celebrities posing for them in pictures. The overnight train to Varanasi was an adventure and not to be apprehensive about with some wonderful morning views from the train to take in.
Most Inspirational Moment
fulfilling a lifelong wish to see the beautiful Taj Mahal at sunrise seeing first hand all the wonderful stones that are laid into the marble inside the mausoleum, spotting the elusive tigers at Ranthambore and the most spiritual place for me was Varanasi watching daily life and being blessed there was magical, also having the most amazing lassi in The Blue lassi shop while watching the funeral processions go past was a great contrast. I could have stayed longer in this area which is full of wonder. I loved walking through the old streets of dehli and in Varanasi where we spotted a new bride in her finery being led to the Ganges for a blessing. hearing the noise that surrounds daily life and the warm smiles of everyone we met will stay with me forever. As this was the 50th anniversary trip we also had a fun night the started with laughing yoga and a very interesting cooking/ eating session only then to be dressed in beautiful saris and be decorated with henna, the men in the group also got dressed up like maharajas which made us feel like family with the lovely family that hosted us for the night.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Naveen was always giving us the best food advice and took us all to some amazing places for lunch and dinner, we had the most amazing butter chicken in dehli and molecule in Agra where we all could have danced the night away to some amazing Indian hits. he also arranged some diyas for us to make a wish on when we were on the sunset trip on the Ganges. he even got a group members bag mended when it broke on the last night there he was brilliant fun at our dinners talking with us all after getting to know us all, I feel I have made a friend for life in Naveen.
Advice for Potential Travellers
its fast and a whistle stop trip that will leave you breathless and wanting to see more of this vibrant country, I know I will be returning to see more. don't hesitate to explore this wonderful country you will be in safe hands with Naveen.
Loved this one..
As always, Exodus didn’t disappoint. The itinerary was great, we packed a lot in to the 9 day trip. Some early starts and long drives but the bus was comfortable and the air con worked well! Lots of walking on this trip, and be prepared for the pollution, if you have bad asthma I would consider a different trip as you are literally coughing with the smog!
But the busyness of the traffic is part of the adventure!
Sunrise in India isn’t a thing unfortunately due to the haze of pollution so the Taj Mahal wasn’t seen to it’s full beauty until the sun is higher in the sky. The dreaded sleeper train definitely is something I never wish to repeat, but it’s one night and so long as you don’t go to the toilet you’ll be ok haha ….I took shoe covers !!! So glad I did ! The beds are as hard as a table top !
Most Inspirational Moment
Varanasi is magical, the half hour of free time to worder through the crowds taking pictures of day to day life.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ronit was brilliant, very organised and such a friendly chap
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't take a huge suitcase like some did on my trip, you have to lug it through the train station yourself and if the escalator is broken, you're getting it up those stairs as well. Take shoe covers for the train, you don't want to get back in bed with what ever you've been wading though., and ear plugs. All in all a great trip European plugs. Take coffee bags, the coffee is vile.
Northern India
Hectic trip with an excellent tour leader
Most Inspirational Moment
The boat rides at Varanasi to see the crematorium evening rituals and bathing ghats. Very spiritual experience. Seeing three tigers up close was also a highlight.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ronit was an exceptional leader. Nothing was too much trouble and he remained calm and unflappable at all times. He quietly and successfully organised everything to ensure a seamless holiday experience for us. He knew how to problem solve and use his contacts to make things work. I cannot speak highly enough of him. He was friendly and utterly professional at all times.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The overnight sleeper train can be a shock to the system. Take disposable shoe covers for the bathroom, you'll need them. The itinerary on this trip is packed and busy with very little downtime to relax so be prepared. The levels of smog and air pollution are very high so I'd recommend a mask at times. Also in early November it was very humid
So much in such short time....
This trip is amazing. If you are looking to squeeze as much as possible of the must-sees in and around the golden triangle, this is a great choice. It’s not a relaxing trip as it’s constantly on the go with long days of sightseeing and traveling and not much time to just hang out and relax. But it’s very rewarding to get to see so many amazing sights in just 9 days
Most Inspirational Moment
Of course Taj Mahal, but getting to see tigers in the wild in Ranthambore was incredible
Thoughts on Group Leader
Naveen was outstanding. India is not an easy country to navigate but he made it all work and got us safely to all the sights we were supposed to see
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for several very early wake ups to catch sunset at the Taj Mahal, game drive and Varanasi. The overnight train is not comfortable, but it's an experience, just may not get that much sleep.
Fast paced but well worth it
Yes, the trip is fast paced, but I think that’s pretty well explained on the website so I was expecting it. But the itinerary covers some really incredible places and I felt like I got a good feeling for India (my first time) as a result of it. There were some long drives, but the days spent in places like Jaipur, Agra and Varanasi meant it didn’t feel like we were *constantly* on the move. I absolutely loved India! The group gelled really well and we’re considering going on a S. India trip with Exodus all together again in 2026!
Most Inspirational Moment
The Taj Mahal. It was so beautiful it almost made me cry. Standing in front of it for the first time was just incredible. And we got there for sunrise so it wasn't too busy.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Manoj was fantastic. He was informative but not overly so, engaging and took the time to get to know each of us. When our overnight train was delayed by several hours he worked really hard to rearrange everything in Varanasi to ensure we didn't miss out on anything. In the end, Varanasi was a real highlight for most people in the group, despite having half a day less than expected (due to the train delay).
Advice for Potential Travellers
The overnight train is basic so pack a sense of humour. There are some long drives as well, but the bus was comfortable and there's so much going on to look at that they just add to your overall exposure to India.
A Comprehensive and Fabulous Itinerary but too Fast Paced
The trip included all the sites we wanted to see, but it was done at such a pace that it was exhausting and difficult to take everything in.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Taj Mahal at sunrise - so beautiful. Other highlights were the tigers at Ranthambore, the Seikh temple in Delhi and the cooking demonstration in Jaipur.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was good on the whole, but not impressed by his serious participation in the Holi Festival celebrations. In the end he was a bit more flexible, we did not want to see another fort when we got to Delhi!
Advice for Potential Travellers
You need stamina. The notes say you do not need to be fit, but the pace is relentless and the hours of travelling took us by surprise.
Reply from Exodus
We’d like to thank Jo for her feedback. Whilst we are pleased to read that she enjoyed her holiday overall, we were sorry to learn that she had concerns about the activity level of the trip and particularly did not enjoy her visit to Varanasi. We do mention in our trip notes that this is a busy itinerary, with longer journeys, mainly because this region of India offers so much to see and experience in the time frame. Our customers generally find the pace to be appropriate for the duration of the trip, but we do appreciate some customers may prefer more guidance on this aspect of our trips. There is a big focus on the local experience which we highlight in our trip notes so that our customers know what to expect. We are aware that some customers are a bit wary of travelling in open carriages for the sleeper train however, due to the seat allocation system for the Indian trains and limited capacity of seats in higher classes, this is the most suitable option for our groups. The tour leader is always close by if there are any concerns.
We’re grateful for the time she took to leave a review and hope that we can welcome her on future trips with us!

A busy but fun filled 8 days travelling around to see the best of northern India! A lot of travelling on the bus but that’s really the only way to get around, plus you see a lot of how people live, get around and the landscape.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Taj Mahal in all its majesty
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mayank was clearly not new at this role. He was very knowledgeable in many aspects and topics of India , where I was able to learn a lot ( whether I retained the information is a different story) . As he was mentioning the different religions in India, he did mention a bit of personal information where he said he considered himself Jain. This on its own did not bother me. In fact, it helps develop a connection. However when he said they are considered the ‘Jews of India’ and more specifically businessmen mentality, this is where I feel he may have overstepped. The reason I say this is what followed a couple days later. In Varanasi, there was an option in the morning to see a Buddhist temple. Myself and a few others were not interested in joining the group so we asked if it was possible for Mayank to book us a tuktuk. He went ahead and kindly did that for us. From my recollection, we did not clearly tell him what we were doing because we didn’t know what was there. There was mention of maybe going into the old town, but nothing was set. We assumed everything was fine on his end as he booked the tuktuk. We ended up getting a very kind driver who asked us where we wanted to go, we said maybe some shops. We went to a couple warehouse shops where we made purchases and then walked around the Muslim area to see people shopping in preparation for Eid. It was a fantastic morning!!! Mayank ended up finding our about where we went and that we made purchases. He ended up getting upset and short with our driver, on two occasions, the second one which we were witness to. He appeared rude and demeaning to our driver, as our driver told us what he said ( we had the same driver the following day to drive us to the boat tour on the Ganges). Basically Mayank asked why he took us to these places and that he wasn’t supposed to go there. After this, there was a sour taste in my mouth towards Mayank, unfortunately. I felt he was just upset because he lost money as we purchased things at places he didn’t take us to. This is something a businessman would be cognizant of.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This was my first trip to I did so other than reading reviews here I didn’t really know what to expect. I’d say pack light, bring reachable clothes that retail odor (you don’t have much opportunity for washings), bring tummy meds just in case, always carry tissue/toilet paper and sanitizer. The week is jam packed filled with so many great sights and experiences - take advantage of everything!! No regrets! It was so memorable! Am already thinking about returning to India
Reply from Exodus
We would like to thank Hannah for her feedback and are delighted to read that her holiday was memorable and that she enjoyed the cultural aspect of the trip. We are sorry that she had a disappointing experience with the leadership on this tour as at Exodus we take great pride in our tour leaders. Mayank is recognized as one of our top leaders and consistently receives positive feedback from our customers. Over the past six months, he has maintained an impressive average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars and we apologise that Hannah’s experience did not align with this standard.
Regarding the shopping trip, we acknowledge that there may have been some miscommunication. On speaking with Mayank, he explained that the local tuk-tuk driver was instructed to take the guests to a particular market close to the river which we often recommend to customers as it is a safe and reputable area. It seems, the driver may have misled the guests that this market was closed and took them to another local area of his own recommendation. We’re really pleased that this was a positive experience for Hannah and they enjoyed the Muslim market however, it is not always the case and there have been occasions where rogue drivers have their own agenda and guests have a more negative shopping experience. Mayank was concerned with the driver that he had lied to the customers and spoke with him about the matter to ensure that it did not happen again. Mayank would not have benefited from any shopping commission for this independent excursion whether the guests had visited his suggested area or not, that was not the issue he had with the driver it was related to his concerns he mislead them for his own agenda and did not want it to happen again.
We appreciate the time Hannah took to share her experience and hope to have the opportunity to welcome her on future trips with us.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent ,very knowledgeable although he often talked for far longer than the group concentrated for
Advice for Potential Travellers
Food is relatively cheap but If you do all the optional trips it will be an extra £200 + This is NOT a leisurely tour,its just not very active .I hadnt realised the journeys would be so long ,many early starts late nights and corresponding lack of sleep
Fascinating but exhausting trip
This was our first trip to India although we have previously travelled widely across south and south east Asia. The variety of sights, sounds and colours encountered on our trip was amazing and we covered a lot of ground in just over a week. We felt there was a bit too much emphasis on visiting religious sites and would have preferred to have seen more of the countryside and city parks and green spaces such as Lodi Gardens in Delhi for example. A bit more free time for private exploring would also have been welcome – although we were happy being on an organised tour, the trip had a breathless quality about it despite its supposed ‘leisurely’ classification. We particularly enjoyed the visit to Ranthambore nature reserve and were thrilled to see a family of four tigers in the wild. Our trip to the Taj Mahal was inevitably a highlight notwithstanding the 5.30am start to catch the rising sun falling on its majestic domes. We also enjoyed the short walking tour of the Chandni Chowk street market in Old Delhi and wish it had been longer. While everything we saw had its interesting facets, we would have been happier to have seen fewer places of worship and seen more of ‘normal’ Indian street life and the everyday life of secular India and its people.

Our tour leader Mayank was excellent - hardworking, patient and knowledgeable. He was always helpful and acted as a very effective advocate for the group when dealing with day to day issues. Given his many years of experience in the business, nothing seemed to take him by surprise and he seemed to know everybody wherever we went. He was also very helpful with my attempts to identify local birdlife.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The 'leisurely' label does not do justice to this tour - there are frequent early starts and long days on buses and trains with the consequence that we skipped quite a few hours of sleep in order to arrive early at some venues. India is a big country of course but a little more time genuinely 'at leisure' would have been appreciated.
Amazing
The whole trip was awesome, lots of different places visited the tour guide was fabulous lots of knowledge. Did some wonderful things that supported sustainable tourism an experience never to be forgotten
