Delhi to Kathmandu
Moghul Highlights
Enjoy a classic train ride to Agra, home of the world-famous monument to love, the Taj Mahal. Then get off the beaten track as you explore little-visited Orchha and the temple complex of Khajuraho - with exquisite erotic carvings. Complete the Indian leg of your journey in the ancient holy city of Varanasi, on the banks of the River Ganges - a pilgrimage centre for millennia.
Chitwan & Kathmandu
You'll cross into Nepal near Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, and travel into the foothills of the Himalaya. Relax by the lake in Pokhara, in the shadow of the Annapurna and soak up the traditional atmosphere of the hilltop village of Bandipur, an undiscovered gem. Then in Chitwan National Park, enjoy an elephant-back safari in search of rhinos and tigers. Complete your journey in the magical temples and bazaars of Kathmandu.
