Travel to the spiritual capital of Sikhism

Near the border with Pakistan is Amritsar, the spiritual centre of Sikhism. There in the centre of a sacred pool, we find the most important temple of this religion, the Golden Temple, which houses the Holy Book during the day. Every night, in a mass ritual, the Book is taken back to its chamber. A very enriching experience indeed. In this programme, in addition to visiting Amritsar, you will tour the classic Triangle formed by the capital, Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. The Taj Mahal and the Golden Temple on the same trip.

It's a former royal residence converted into a museum, although a small wing is still used by the royal family of Jaipur. The tour continues with a stop at Jantar Mantar, which is the world's largest astronomical observatory, built in stone and marble by Jai Singh between 1728 and 1734. En route there'll be a brief stop for the typical photo of Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Breeze). This five-storey palace was built in 1799 and is one of the best examples of the artistic talent of the Rajputs, who built it so that the ladies of the court could entertain themselves by watching the hustle-and-bustle of the city.

Shah Jahan ordered its construction as an expression of his love for his beautiful wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Work of Persian architect Ustad Isa, it took twenty-two years to build and has become one of the wonders of the world. It has a stunning design, perfect symmetry, elegantly carved domes and the best stone inlays ever seen, among other works of genius. Later we'll visit Agra Fort, which was built by Emperor Akbar between 1565 and 1573 and reflects the Mughal talent for combining defensive architecture with beauty and design. This fort-palace was started by Akbar as a purely defensive citadel and was later completed by two successive generations, who added the delicate marble mosaic work and the magnificent palaces. The fort commands a magical view of the Taj Mahal. Then we'll visit Itmad-ud-Daulah, nicknamed the Baby Taj, an exquisite tomb in honour of Mirza Ghiyas Beg built by his daughter.

Important remarks

  • Triple rooms in India are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
  • The baggage allowance on domestic flights of most airlines in India is usually 15 kg per person, so lower than on international flights. Please take account of this when packing your bags.
  • Please check with your international vaccination centre about the recommended healthcare measures in India.
  • The tours include cultural stops at local workshops so you can learn about the production of traditional crafts.
  • To reconfirm services at the destination, please send us your passport details within 24 hours of booking.

The form can be completed via the official Indian Visa Online website (https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/earrival/) or through the Indian Visa “Su‑Swagatam” mobile application (App Store | Google Play). Completion of this form does not remove the requirement to hold a valid visa; travellers must still complete the visa application process.

  • Groups may be multilingual.
  • The order of the itinerary may be altered for logistical reasons, without prior notice, but no scheduled trips will be cancelled (except in the case that adverse weather conditions prevent its realisation).
