Tour of cities, forts and tigers
The first few days will give you time to Delhi explore at leisure. By bike to the local market, past mosques and monuments. By rickshaw to Chandi Chowk to breathe in the daily life and experience the scents and colors of India. Then to Agra, where you will see the beautiful Taj Mahal visit and later explore the beautiful Red Fort. We leave the bustle of the city behind to enjoy the tranquility of rural Ramathra and safari in one of the most filmed wildlife parks in the world, Ranthambore National Park. This huge park is home to a huge variety of flora and fauna and impressive abandoned forts and lakes. This jungle is the not only a tiger reserve but also home to jackal, bear, leopard, sambar, chital, nilgai, gazelles, boar, mongoose, monitor lizards and many bird species.
Then it's the turn of breathtakingly beautiful, impressive and fascinating Rajasthan, a state overflowing with ancient history, art and culture. A boat ride on Lake Pichola and the magnificent artistic forts, palaces and temples in the vibrant colorful cities you visit will leave you speechless.
