Moguls, Mosques & Mahals - Reverse

Take in the capital of Nepal, two impressive national parks, the spiritual heart of India, the Taj Mahal and the thrumming metropolis of Delhi - this is an overland journey to whet the appetite and leave you wanting more! From an elephant trek through the jungle and a night camping beneath the stars, to the ghats of Varanasi and the stunning Amber Palace in Jaipur, experience the colour and culture of these two nations, taste the cuisines and immerse in the adventure.


Itinerary

Day 1 Delhi

The journey concludes in Delhi - a metropolis crammed with the magic and mystery of a million stories. Dive into the chaos and perhaps celebrate the adventure with a Kingfisher beer.

Days 2-3 Jaipur

Visit the bird sanctuary at Bharatpur, experience the eerie desolation of Fatehpur Sikri and explore the amazing palaces of the renowned 'pink city'.

Days 4-5 Agra

Home to the glorious Taj Mahal, Agra also boasts the sprawling Red Fort. Take a rickshaw ride to these impressive monuments.

Day 6 Chamba Valley

Spend an afternoon exploring the fine temples and surrounds of this beautiful region and an evening camping under the stars.

Days 7-9 Panna/Bandhavgarh National Park

Stop in at the erotic temples of Khajuraho then visit a second national park - this one famous for its tiger population. Take a safari and keep an eye out for the big cats, as well as deer, hyenas and porcupines.

Days 10-11 Varanasi

Set on the banks of the sacred River Ganges, Varanasi is awash with sights and sounds to overwhelm the senses. Learn the different uses of the ghats - both spiritual and secular.

Day 12 Sunauli

Spend a morning seeking out Chitwan's shy and rare one-horned rhino on a jungle walk or jeep safari then travel to the Nepal-Indian border.

Days 13-14 Royal Chitwan National Park

After the bustle and crush of Kathmandu, travel down to the jungle lowlands for a touch of peace and quiet. Visit the local elephants and seek out rare wildlife in the national park.

Days 15-16 Kathmandu

Arrive early into the capital to soak up its rich atmosphere. Perhaps sit on the steps in Durbar Square to see Nepali life swirl past or head out to visit the temples of Pashupatinath and Bodhnath.
