To enjoy the cultural richness of India could take a long time as its lands stretch far and wide, unlike the Kingdom of Nepal. An easier option is to discover India in sections. This package offered by Himalayan Glacier Trekking aims to deliver the wonders of north and west India from the holy city of Varanasi (Benaras) and finishing off in Rajasthan, “The Land of Kings”, journeying via Agra and New Delhi, the capital of India. This fantastic trip is a good starting point for travelers new to India and its ways of life.
The tour of India starts with a flight to Varanasi, from Kathmandu, lazing on the banks of the Ganges. Varanasi also known as Benaras and Kashi is the chosen home of the Hindi Lord Shiva, emitting a powerful energy throughout the city making it an unforgettable spiritual adventure. After this you will have the chance of visiting the Taj Mahal, a symbol of eternal love and one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

While in Agra you can also admire the magnificence of several monuments erected by the erstwhile Mughal Rulers of India including the Red Fort, Fatehpur Sikri and the massive Buland Darwaza. Containing all the contrasts of life is New Delhi, a magical and enchanting city but depressing at times. The monuments old and new offer a look into this ancient seat of power and its evolution since then. The fusion of Hindu and Muslim cultures makes Delhi an interesting place to see.

After the north it is time to travel to the west and the legendary and colorful state of Rajasthan which continues to attract tourists from all over the world. This is a land of fierce kings, beautiful palaces and sacred temples. Your adventure in Rajasthan starts from the capital of Jaipur featuring a large and ornately carved city Palace. Udaipur, the sunrise city, attracts honeymooners and James Bond enthusiasts with a palace built on the middle of a serene lake. For a taste of life in the Middle Ages a trip to Jaisalmer is a must from where one can even undertake a desert safari on the back of a Camel. The tour concludes in the holy town of Puskar housing the only Brahma Temple in India built on the banks of an oasis. From Puskar you will head back to Delhi and board a Kathmandu bound flight.
