The Golden Triangle Tour combined with Varanasi Is one of the best combinations of traveling destinations that any first-time visitor can enjoy as It covers all the prominent heritage sites of India + more.
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur combine to offer an exceptional array of ancient and some recent history, particularly through their stunning architecture showcased by temples, palaces and forts. It makes for a splendid introduction to India. Varanasi promises something a little different. It is one of the holiest places in all of India and takes you on a genuine spiritual journey. As an added BONUS we will also be visiting the spiritual landmarks of Rajasthan as we discover the towns of Ajmer and stroll along the ghats of the holy Pushkar lake.
We will be visiting during one of the most festive times of the year, Holi. We will partake in this celebration dancing, eating and of course playing with the powdered paint. Holi is a festival celebrating the triumph of good over evil and the heavenly love shared by Lord Krishna and Radha. It is also celebrated as a harvest festival to honor the arrival of spring and the end of winter.
