Round trip with full India experience
This trip is a concatenation of highlights, including a visit to the Taj Mahal and the imposing Mehrengarh Fort in Jodhpur. A walk through the narrow streets of the holy city of Varanasi is an experience to remember. Add to that attending a festival and you have a perfect India travel experience. Not to mention the stunning city of Udaipur, where the trip ends....
India, the land of mysticism and yoga, ayurveda and spirituality... And also definitely the land of festivals. Every month festivals are celebrated somewhere in India, often with a religious background. Indians profess their faith with conviction and important life matters and decisions are often determined by the religious calendar. Festivals therefore play an important role and are celebrated with great devotion and also fun. Processions with richly decorated elephants, brightly colored Holi powder shooting through the air, spectacular fireworks and millions of pilgrims converging during the Kumbh Mela celebrated once every 12 years are just a few of the expected experiences during a festival in India.
