Summary

Maharajahs & Mughals

How to encompass in one journey the complexities of the turbulent history and spectacular cultural heritage of a sub-continent's whose exotic traditions, architecture and art all have an immensity of appeal that could justify a lifetime's exploration? Impossible, of course - but by its structured focus on the ancient cultures and divisions of northern India's tumultuous past, our tour will build for you a clear picture of the infinitely diverse strands that have shaped the exotic fabric of this vast country. Carefully planned visits to many world-famous sites, monuments and leading museums bring a comprehensive understanding of the intricate cultural synthesis that has evolved between the country's primary religious civilizations - Jain, Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim. 

Highlights as we travel from Delhi through Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Agra and Rajasthan's 'Land of Kings' include Sanchi's fabulous stupa, the monastic excavations at Sarnath and the elaborately carved temples at Ranakpur - all illustrating the vigor of Buddhist and Jain offshoots from early Hinduism. Fascinating facets of later Hindu civilization are on display amid Khajuraho's elaborate temples, the teeming pilgrimage centre at Varanasi and, most beautiful of all, the Rajput's fortified palaces of Udaipur, Jodhpur and Jaipur, in striking counterpoint to Agra's legendary Mughal masterpiece, the Taj Mahal.

    Day by Day Itinerary

    Delhi

    We ease ourselves gently into the bustle of India with lunch and afternoon site visits of the city’s major landmarks. We first visit Qutb Minar, an iconic 12th -century, UNESCO-listed minaret and take in its surrounding complex that preserves remains from every era of Delhi’s history. From there, we continue on to the imposing Humayun’s Tomb, dating from 1572 and whose palatial Heritage-listed Mughal architecture is significant as the possible inspiration for the Taj Mahal.
