Festival

Get ready to immerse yourself in the rich history, captivating architecture, and vibrant culture of this magnificent country. Our tour takes you beyond the world-famous Taj Mahal and explores the hidden gems and lesser-known treasures of India. From Mughal monuments to colonial structures, we'll guide you through the historical streets, revealing the stories and legends that have shaped India. Whether it's the intricate carvings of ancient temples, the bustling markets, or the awe-inspiring forts, our tour promises an unforgettable journey through time. Lace up your walking shoes and let's embark on an adventure through the enchanting streets of India. We will meet in New Delhi and explore the city for 02 days. After that, we will move to Agra for 01 night where we will get to witness the world-famous Taj Mahal before heading to India's Pink City: Jaipur, and then to India's Holiest city Varanasi for Dev Deepawali (takes place 15 days after Diwali). Here we will celebrate the triumph of light over darkness at one of the biggest festivals that take place in Varanasi. India is intense and full of life, it will require getting out of your comfort zone but I know that with the right group, we are going to have an incredible time! The highlight of this trip is going to be celebrating Dev Deepawali in Varanasi, which will take place on a Full Moon. There will be around one million earthen lamps lit and the energy that we will be surrounded with will be absolutely powerful.

This definitely has shaped me to want to travel all the time and see/experience new things.
