Tour overview

This 10-day family adventure takes children aged seven and over around India’s Golden Triangle, with tiger safaris and a stay in a restored fort. A tour leader looks after the group, which numbers between four and twenty. You stay nine nights in hotels and heritage properties, with breakfast daily and several lunches and dinners.

After a tour of New Delhi you explore Old Delhi by rickshaw, then drive to Agra to visit the Agra Fort. At dawn you see the Taj Mahal, then visit the Keoladeo bird sanctuary and take the train to Ranthambore for jeep safaris in search of Bengal tigers.

Two nights in Pachewar Garh, a restored heritage fort, bring a village walk, a cooking lesson and a farm visit. In Jaipur you tour the Pink City and the Amber Fort, and on the way back to Delhi you stop at Samode Palace for a camel cart ride and lunch.
