India is bigger than life: a population that exceeds a billion, more than a million square miles of land and 23 official languages. But one common thread runs through it — India floods your senses from every direction.
We specialize in planning customized travel and the following is one of the most popular A&K private journeys we sell featuring travel to Northern India and Nepal. Once you visit India you will truly understand the difference between Old Delhi and New Delhi. Delhi is a city of fascinating contrasts, with remnants of the 12th to the 19th centuries lingering in Old Delhi and modern architecture and bustle in New Delhi. Agra is home to the majestic Taj Mahal. To the south, Udaipur sits serenely on the shores of Lake Pichola, where a private cruise offers postcard-worthy vistas at every turn. This private tour includes a visit the Maharana's Crystal Gallery, opened expressly for you. Mumbai, formerly known as the fabled Bombay, has a lovely harbor, marked by the Gateway of India, an 85-foot-high arch. Take a private boat ride from Mumbai Harbour to visit the rock-cut cave temples on Elephanta Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Back on land, glimpse everyday life at the Dhobi Ghat outdoor laundry and visit Mani Bhawan, a museum dedicated to the life of Mahatma Gandhi. You, along with your private driver/guide will journey inside the kaleidoscope of sights and sounds that is the spectacular Pushkar Fair, an annual camel and cattle sale attended by tribal villagers from all of Northern India.
