Northern India attracts with its wealth of captivating landscapes, vibrant culture and historical treasures. From the serene Himalayan foothills to the majestic forts of Rajasthan and bustling metropolises, the region boasts a plethora of must-see destinations.

Blue city of Jodhpur

On the eastern fringe of the Thar Desert, Jodhpur , dubbed “the Blue City” after the colour wash of its old townhouses, huddles below the mighty Mehrangarh Fort. This is the most spectacular citadel in Rajasthan, which dominates the cityscape from atop its huge sandstone plinth. 

Jodhpur was once the most important town of Marwar, the largest princely state in Rajputana, and now has a population of around 1.3 million. Most people stay just long enough to visit the fort, though there’s plenty to justify a longer visit. 

Getting lost in the blue maze of the old city you’ll stumble across Muslim tie-dyers, puppet-makers and traditional spice markets, while Jodhpur’s famed cubic roofscape, best viewed at sunset, is a photographer’s dream.

The pink city of Jaipur

A flamboyant showcase of Rajasthani architecture, Jaipur has long been established on tourist itineraries as the third corner of India’s “Golden Triangle”, along with Agra and Delhi. 

At the heart of Jaipur lies the Pink City, the old walled quarter, whose bazaars rank among the most vibrant in Asia, renowned for their textiles, jewellery and Rajasthani handicrafts.

Jaisalmer - the Golden City

In the remote westernmost corner of Rajasthan , Jaisalmer is the quintessential desert town, its golden, sand-coloured ramparts rising out of the arid Thar like a scene from the Arabian Nights. 

Rampant commercialism may have dampened the romantic vision somewhat, but even with all the touts and tour buses, the town deservedly remains one of India’s most popular destinations. 

In addition, there are numerous sights out of town, as well as the desert itself. Camel safaris are an extremely popular activity here, and most take the chance to spend at least one night out in the sands.

Amritsar - the land of faith

The Sikhs’ holy city of Amritsar is the largest city in Punjab and one of the most popular tourist destinations in this whole chunk of India. Sikh pilgrims, domestic tourists and international visitors arrive en masse for one gleaming reason – the fabled Golden Temple. 

Its domes soar above Amritsar’s teeming streets and are certainly one of the most captivating sights in the whole country. The temple aside, Amritsar is a little noisy and congested, but its old city in particular is as lively as any in India.

Not a fan of planning? Our fully customisable India itineraries allow you to go on the trip of your dreams without the hassle of researching and planning.

Manali, Himachal Pradesh, Northern India © ImagesofIndia/Shutterstock

Valleys of Manali

Himachal ’s main tourist resort, Manali, stands at the head of the Kullu Valley. Despite lying at the heart of the region’s highest mountain range, it remains easily accessible by road from the plains. 

The Kullu Valley’s spectacular alpine scenery makes it perfect for trekking. Trails are long and steep, but more than repay the effort with superb views, varied flora and the chance to visit remote hill stations. Within striking distance of several major trailheads, Manali is the most popular place to begin and end treks.

Described by Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore as “a teardrop on the face of eternity”, the Taj Mahal is undoubtedly the zenith of Mughal architecture. Volumes have been written on its perfection, and its image adorns countless glossy brochures and guidebooks. Nonetheless, the reality never fails to overwhelm all who see it, and few words can do it justice. 

The magic of the monument is strangely undiminished by the crowds of tourists who visit, as small and insignificant as ants in the face of the immense mausoleum. That said, the Taj is at its most alluring in the relative quiet of early morning, shrouded in mist and bathed with a soft red glow.

Temples of Varanasi

The great Hindu city of Varanasi , also known as Banaras or Benares, stretches along the River Ganges. Its waterfront is dominated by long flights of stone ghats where thousands of pilgrims and residents come for their daily ritual ablutions. 

Located next to a ford on an ancient trade route, Varanasi is among the holiest of all tirthas – “crossing places”, that allow the devotee access to the divine and enable gods and goddesses to come down to earth. It has attracted pilgrims, seekers, sannyasins and students of the Vedas throughout its history, including sages such as Buddha, Mahavira and the great Hindu reformer Shankara.

Leh & Ladakh

Located in the very north of India, Leh and Ladakh offer extraordinary experiences like nowhere else. This high-altitude desert region is renowned for its rugged, breathtaking landscapes including rugged mountains, pristine lakes and barren expanses.

Travellers are drawn here by its serene beauty and the opportunity to visit ancient monasteries such as Thiksey and Hemis. Adventurous travellers come to Leh and Ladakh for thrilling activities like trekking, river rafting and cycling through rugged terrain.

The unique blend of Tibetan culture, warm hospitality and incomparable natural beauty makes this destination a must-visit for those seeking an unusual, transcendent Himalayan experience.

The Mystical Best of North India

redtea/Getty Images

Think of India and it's likely that visions of formidable forts, palaces, and temples will come to mind, set against a backdrop of bright colors and history. That's exactly what North India provides -- and more! These top tourist places to visit in North India showcase the region's diverse beauty.

Most foreign tourists who visit North India land up in Delhi, India's capital city. Delhi airport has been modernized and expanded, with further works currently underway. Delhi strikingly brings to life the ancient past while at the same time showcases India's modern future. It's divided into two parts -- the crumbling old city of Old Delhi, and the orderly and well planned New Delhi -- which exist side by side, but feel like they're worlds apart. The city is dotted with evocative mosques, forts, and monuments left over from the Mughal rulers that once occupied the city. Many of these are set in beautiful landscaped gardens. This comprehensive guide to Delhi will help you plan your trip. Get some inspiration from these itineraries for 48 hours in Delhi and one week in Delhi as well.

Taj Mahal, Uttar Pradesh

The Taj Mahal in Agra is India's most iconic monument and one of the top historical places in India. Hence, it usually features prominently on tourists' bucketlists. You can't visit North India and not see the Taj! It looms like a fairy tale from the banks of the Yamuna River and has an eventful history dating back to 1630. The monument is actually a tomb that contains the body of Mumtaz Mahal –- the wife of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Made out of marble, it took 22 years and 20 000 workers to complete. One of the most captivating things about it is the way its color appears to gradually alter in the changing light of the day. Agra and the Taj Mahal are commonly visited as part of India's famous Golden Triangle tourist circuit, which also incorporates Delhi and Jaipur. Most tourists choose not to spend much time in Agra as it's not a particularly pleasant city. However, there are some interesting places to visit in Agra and around. Ideally, for the best perspective, see Agra Fort before the Taj Mahal because it predates it.

Jaipur, Rajasthan

Jaipur, Rajasthan's capital, is famously refered to as the Pink City because of the color of the walls and buildings of its Old City.

Check out this Jaipur city guide for more information.

Amritsar, Punjab

Its foundations were laid in 1588 by popular Muslim Sufi saint Miyan Mir (in keeping with the notion that people of all faiths are welcome) and construction was completed in 1604. The temple looks particularly arresting at night when it’s beautifully lit up, with its imposing pure gold dome illuminated. If you love street food, Amritsar is renowned for it! Amritsar's Old City is also worth exploring.The exhuberant flag lowering ceremony at the Wagah Border is another attraction nearby. This Amritsar travel guide has all the details.

Things to Do in North India

North India comprises of several prominent destinations and tourist highlights. Hence, when booking a North India tour package online, it is important that you ensure that all the key destinations of the region that you wish to visit are covered in the package. Here are some of the top spots in North India that you can include in the itinerary for your North India vacation package:

The Red Fort:

This historic fort is located right in the heart of Delhi and is famed for having served as the main residence for various emperors of the Mughal Dynasty. Red Fort used to be the ceremonial and political center for the Mughal dynasty in the country. This grand fort was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. On every Independence Day of India, the Prime Minister of the country hoists the Indian national flag from the main gate of the fort and subsequently delivers a speech from its ramparts.

The Lotus Temple:

This is a Bahá'í House of Worship in Delhi. The Lotus Temple is considered to be one of the most visited buildings on the planet. The exquisite flowerlike shape of the Lotus temple makes it an integral part of any North India holiday package that covers the national capital. The structure of this building comprises of 27 free-standing marble-clad 'petals', which are systematically arranged in clusters to form nine distinguished sides.

The Taj Mahal:

This exquisite marble structure of Agra is considered as one of the most beautiful buildings that were ever created. The Taj Mahal is popularly known as the monument of love and is one of the most important romantic destinations that come under most North India honeymoon packages. This monument provides an excellent example of Persian and early Mughal architecture. The most spectacular feature of the Taj Mahal is the 35 metres (115 ft) high marble dome that surmounts the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal.

Until the year 1638, Agra Fort used to be the key residence of the emperors belonging to the Mughal Dynasty. This Fort is often considered to be a walled city and has been given the status of a UNESCO World Heritage site as well.

Fatehpur Sikri:

This is a quaint city located to the west of Agra and was founded by Akbar in the 16th-century. This city features clusters of spectacular red sandstone buildings at its center, while the grand Buland Darwaza marks its entrance. This site is also a must-visit on a North India honeymoon package.

Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple:

The Kashi Vishwanath Temple is located in Varanasi and is one of the most auspicious temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. This temple stands on the western banks of the holy Ganges River and is famed to be one of twelve Jyotirlingas , which are considered to be the holiest temples of Lord Shiva .

Allahabad Fort:

This fort was built sometime around 1583, by one of the most famous Mughal emperors, Akbar. The majestic Allahabad Fort stands tall on the banks of the Yamuna River. It is additionally recognized as a monument of national importance by the Archaeological Survey of India and hence is included in almost all North India packages that cover the area.

Best Time to Visit North India

It is important for travellers to know about the climatic conditions of their chosen destination, prior to planning their holiday. In order to optimally enjoy the best of Agra, Allahabad, Varanasi, Delhi, or the other nearby regions, it is imperative that you book your North India holiday packages during a time when the weather is pleasant and comfortable for sightseeing. Here is a brief insight into the climatic conditions prevalent in North India during various months, which can help you book your tour for the perfect time:

August to October:

The month of August typically marks the beginning of monsoon in this region, making it an ideal time to witness the grand monuments present here in their rain-washed splendor. August is also a good time to visit the Mathura-Vrindavan area to witness the grandeur and festivities of the festival of Janmashtami . To avoid the risk of heavy rainfall dampening your spirit of travel, you should consider carrying an umbrella or raincoat if going on a North India tour during the monsoons.

October to March:

The seasons of autumn and winter are regarded as being absolutely perfect for visiting the landlocked hinterland of northern India. By the month of October, the scorching summer heat tends to have ebbed in the region, making the weather quite pleasant and ideal for going on a North India sightseeing tour. The autumn and winter months would also be great for exploring the several street bazars and markets of Delhi and Agra, to buy unique souvenirs without having to deal with the scorching heat of the sun. In case you plan to visit this region during December and January, it is imperative that you pack your warm clothes as the winters can be a bit harsh in a few North Indian cities, including Delhi.

April to July:

While the temperature slowly begins rising from the month of April, people can enjoy some attractive off-season discounts on tour packages during this time. It is highly recommended that travelers carry sunscreen, sunglasses, and light cotton clothes with them if planning to explore North India during the summer months.

10 Days in North India Itinerary: The Highlights

This itinerary for 10 days in North India is perfect for first-timers who want to see the highlights of the north. It covers some of India’s most famous landmarks like the Hawa Mahal , Mehrangarh Fort and, of course, the famous Taj Mahal .

India is an incredibly diverse country, and it would be impossible to see everything in 10 days (or even in a couple of years). Therefore, it can be a bit daunting to start planning a trip here. This itinerary, however, will give you an idea of what this country is all about with the time you have.

I travelled through India for a little over 8 months and am heading back there regularly. Six of these months were spent in the north of the country, and this itinerary is based on the highlights of my trip.

It’s good to know that the popular Golden Triangle Tourist Route is included in this itinerary. If you don’t have 10 days in North India (or would like to visit the south of India too), I’ve written a guide on how to do the Golden Triangle itinerary in 4 to 6 days .

10 Days in North India itinerary: The highlights

So, let’s dive right into it! Here’s the perfect travel itinerary for first-timers in the north of India.

Day 1: 🚍 Arrive in Delhi

Most people will start their journey in the north of India in Delhi, the lively capital. The Indira Gandhi International Airport is connected to most of the world’s major cities.

Even if you’re in India already, it’s easy to reach Delhi from nearly anywhere in the country. This can either be done by flight, train, bus or private transport.

Day 1 on this itinerary is all about arriving in Delhi. If you arrive earlier in the day, you can rest or start visiting this city already. If you arrive in the evening or at night, however, there will be time to explore what Delhi has to offer on day 2.

Unfortunately, Delhi is the scammer’s capital of India (I promise that not all of the country is like this), and I strongly advise reading my post about the most common tourist scams in Delhi to avoid getting scammed on your first day.

Day 2: Visit Delhi + Delhi to Jodhpur

It’s true that the capital of India doesn’t have the best reputation, BUT I do think it is worth spending 1 day in Delhi .

There are quite some impressive landmarks in this city (Humayun’s Tomb and the Lotus Temple are my personal favourites) and to be honest, Delhi isn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting after researching it online.

I have visited this city four times so far, and wrote a post about my personal experience here in the following guide: Is Delhi Safe? A Solo Female Traveller’s Perspective .

🛕 Highlights of Delhi

While you could easily spend a few weeks exploring everything that Delhi has to offer, 1 day here is enough to see the Indian capital’s highlights:

• Red Fort: This fort was once the residence of the Mughal Emperors. It was built in the 17th century and is famous for its huge fortification walls made of red sandstone.
• Jama Masjid: Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, Jama Masjid is one of the largest and most famous mosques in India.
• Humayun’s Tomb: This mausoleum was the first garden-tomb in the Indian subcontinent and it’s magnificent! It was built in Persian style in the 16th century and inspired the design of the Taj Mahal almost a century later.
• Lotus Temple: The Lotus Temple is one of the 13 major Baha’i temples in the world. This architectural marvel was built in 1986 and has won multiple architectural awards.

🚍 Delhi to Jodhpur

After visiting Delhi, it’s time to head to Rajasthan , India’s largest state.

Jodhpur, the first stop here is the furthest away from Delhi (around 600 km / 372 mi) and it can either be reached by taking the overnight train or by flying .

While taking the overnight train is the most adventurous and cheapest option, it is an 11-hour ride, while flying will only take 1,5 hours. So what you choose to do depends on your personal travel style and budget.

Check out my post about the budget you will need to travel in India to find out whether taking an overnight train or flying is the best option for you.

Day 3: Visit Jodhpur

No matter whether you’re heading here by overnight train or by flight, Jodhpur is the perfect introduction to Rajasthan.

This is India’s so-called Blue City , and it’s my favourite city in the state. If you’re into photography, you will LOVE the place!

Jodhpur is full of picturesque blue houses and it’s home to a magnificent fort with an incredible view over the city. It’s an amazing place to get lost in the little streets and observe the local life.

🛕 Highlights of Jodhpur

You will need at least one day to see the highlights of Jodhpur . There is no need to squeeze everything into day 3, though, as there will be more time to visit the city on the morning of day 4.

Jodhpur’s highlights are:

• Mehrangarh Fort: This is Jodhpur’s most famous landmark and one you cannot miss during a visit to this city. Mehrangarh Fort was built by Rajput ruler Rao Jodha, the founder of Jodhpur, in the 15th century. Not only is the fort spectacular, but it also offers a beautiful view over the Blue City.
• Blue houses: My favourite thing to do in Jodhpur is to wander around the narrow streets and alleys in search of the city’s iconic blue houses. It’s good to know that not all of Jodhpur’s houses are blue , though, although blue is a recurrent theme.
• Pachetia Hill: This is the perfect place to head to for sunset! Pachetia Hill is a peaceful place that offers a beautiful view over Jodhpur’s blue houses. You will have to climb up some stairs to reach it, but the view is totally worth it.
• Sardar Market: Sardar Market is the heart of Jodhpur. This is a great place to observe daily life in the city. You will find plenty of merchants selling anything from fruits and vegetables to textiles here. Don’t forget to check out the nearby clock tower while you’re here.
• Toorji Ka Jhalra Stepwell: Rajasthan is famous for its beautiful stepwells and you can find one just 5 minutes from Sardar Market. The Toorji Ka Jhalra Stepwell (that’s a mouthful) was built in the 18th century, and back in the day, it was the city’s main drinking source during periods of drought.

Day 4: 🚍 Jodhpur to Udaipur

While there are no direct trains connecting these two cities, you can easily head from Jodhpur to Udaipur by bus or by private car .

How long it will take depends on your chosen way of transport. Buses take around 6 hours while a private car will take approximately 3,5 hours.

If you leave Jodhpur in the afternoon, you will have time to explore a little bit more of this city in the morning of this day.

Day 5: Visit Udaipur

Udaipur is often dubbed the “city of lakes” or the “Venice of the East”, and it’s argued to be one of the most romantic destinations in India .

This city is surrounded by the Aravalli hills, India’s oldest mountain range, and it’s home to floating palaces, magnificent architecture and breathtaking viewpoints.

🛕 Highlights of Udaipur

Although one day is enough to see Udaipur’s most spectacular sights, you could easily spend a couple of days here. Some of the sights you cannot miss are the following:

• City Palace: With its mix of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, Udaipur’s City Palace is one of the most beautiful historical places in Rajasthan . This palace was built in the 16th century and it’s the largest royal complex in the state of Rajasthan.
• Lake Pichola: A visit to Udaipur is not complete without a boat ride on Lake Pichola. Don’t forget to stroll along the lake’s ghats (steps leading to the water) too while you’re here.
• Jagdish Temple: This is the city’s largest Hindu temple. It was completed in 1651 and it’s full of stunning details. Jagdish Temple is devoted to Lord Vishnu and you will find plenty of beautiful statues here.
• Karni Mata Ropeway: The Karni Mata Ropeway is a cable car that will take you to Macchala Hill, where you will find the Sri Karni Mata Temple. The reason to head to this hilltop, however, is the spectacular view it offers over Udaipur!

If you would like to see a traditional Rajasthani dance show , Udaipur is the perfect place to do so! The Dharohar Dance Show takes place at Lok Dharohar Haveli every evening at 7 p.m.  It’s good to buy a ticket in advance, though. You can either do this at Bagore Ki Haveli or online via the Dharohar Folk Dance website .

Day 6: 🚍 Udaipur to Pushkar

On day 6 of this itinerary for North India, it’s time to head to Pushkar. You can either hire a private car to take you all the way to this town or you can take the train to Ajmer, and then a bus or taxi to Pushkar from here.

The train from Udaipur to Ajmer takes about 5 hours, and it’s a 30-minute bus ride from Ajmer to Pushkar. Note that you will have to take a 5-minute rickshaw ride to reach the bus station first.

Taking a private car will take around 4 hours to get from Udaipur to Pushkar.

On this day, you can either opt to spend an extra morning in Udaipur or spend the afternoon in Pushkar. I would recommend spending the afternoon in Pushkar, though. This will give you more time to visit this town and head to Jaipur on day 7.

Day 7: Visit Pushkar + Pushkar to Jaipur

Pushkar is another one of my favourite places in Rajasthan. This is a tranquil town located by the holy Pushkar Lake and it’s one of the best cultural destinations in India .

Some of the best things to do in Pushkar are to learn more about Hinduism, dive deeper into Indian culture and observe the life of pilgrims by the ghats.

🛕 Highlights of Pushkar

Pushkar is a small town that can easily be visited in one day. You will find its highlights below:

• Brahma Temple: This is the only temple that’s dedicated to Brahma, the Hindu god of creation in the world. It’s a very important place for Hindu pilgrims and one that cannot be missed on a visit to Pushkar.
• Ghats: There are 52 bathing ghats surrounding the holy Pushkar Lake and I recommend visiting them all! One of my favourite things to do in this town was to circle the lake and watch the Hindu rituals by the ghats. If you come here in the evening, you can see the evening Aarti too, this is an important Hindu ceremony.
• Savitri Mata Temple: This temple is perched on top of a hill and you can either hike or take a ropeway to reach it. From here, you will have a breathtaking view of Pushkar and its surroundings.
• Other temples: It’s estimated that Pushkar is home to around 500 Hindu temples. So this is the perfect place to go temple-hopping. If you would like to visit a Sikh temple too, you can head to Gurudwara Sahib. It’s not far from Pushkar Lake and it’s stunning!
• Pushkar Bazar: I think Pushkar is one of the best places in Rajasthan to buy souvenirs fr o m India . You will still have to haggle, but it will be cheaper here compared to bigger cities like Delhi, Jodhpur and Jaipur.

🚍 Pushkar to Jaipur

After visiting Pushkar, it’s time to head to Jaipur, which is not very far from here. It takes about 2 hours to get from Pushkar to Jaipur by car , a little longer if you use public transportation.

If you want to take the train to Jaipur, you will have to head to Ajmer first (either by taxi or by bus ). This is a 30-minute drive, and the train from Pushkar to Jaipur takes approximately 2 hours.

Day 8: Visit Jaipur

Jaipur is India’s Pink City and it’s the capital of Rajasthan. This city is home to some of the most spectacular landmarks in India, from beautiful palaces to enormous forts.

It’s a place that cannot be missed on any itinerary for Rajasthan . You will be able to learn more about the history of the state here and if you’re an architecture-lover, Jaipur might just become your new favourite city!

🛕 Highlights of Jaipur

As this is the largest city in Rajasthan, there’s A LOT to see in Jaipur. You will find the places that cannot be missed below.

• Hawa Mahal: This beautiful palace is one of my favourite pieces of architecture in the world. It was built in 1799 with the purpose of providing royal women with a view of everyday life through the windows. Back in the day, royal women could not appear in public.
• City Palace: Built in 1727, this is the place where the Maharajas reigned until 1949. The City Palace of Jaipur is full of incredible details and there are some interesting museums at the complex too.
• Amer Fort: Amer Fort was built in the 16th century and it’s one of the most impressive landmarks in India. With its blend of Mughal and indigenous-styled architecture, this fort has countless impressive sights.
• Patrika Gate: This is one of Jaipur’s newest tourist attractions. The photogenic Patrika Gate was built in 2016. It’s the entrance to the biggest circular park in Asia – Jawahar Circle Garden. This gate is full of colourful murals that showcase Rajasthan’s architectural and cultural heritage.
• Jantar Mantar: If you’re interested in astronomy, Jantar Mantar is a site you cannot miss. You will find 19 astronomical instruments here, all dating back to the 18th century. This place is also home to the largest sundial in the world, the  Vrihat Samrat Yantra .

Day 9: Visit Jaipur + Jaipur to Agra

Spending another morning and part of the afternoon in Jaipur will allow you to see more of the Pink City’s highlights. Make sure to check out my itinerary for 2 days in Jaipur to make the most of your stay here.

🚍 Jaipur to Agra

After seeing a bit more of Jaipur, it’s time to head to Agra, home to the magnificent Taj Mahal.

Agra is a 5 to 6-hour train ride from Jaipur. If you decide to head here by private car , however, it will take you just around 4 hours.

Day 10: Visit Agra (Taj Mahal) + Agra to Delhi

An itinerary for the north of India would not be complete without a visit to the famous Taj Mahal , one of the 7 world wonders . This is, without a doubt, the most famous monument in India, which is why I saved it for the last day!

The Taj Mahal is an enormous mausoleum that was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife. This monument dates back to the 17th century, and it’s described as the jewel of Muslim art in India .

It’s good to know that the Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays and that the best time to visit it is early in the morning. Read my top tips for visiting the Taj Mahal if you want more information and tips about visiting this world wonder.

🛕 Highlights of Agra (besides the Taj Mahal)

There’s more to Agra than the Taj Mahal alone, but I will be bluntly honest with you: I don’t think Agra is a nice city and I haven’t met anyone who liked it, so far.

There is a but, though!

While Agra may not be the nicest place to explore the city and get lost in the streets, there are some interesting landmarks here apart from the Taj Mahal.

So if you don’t feel like ending your Indian adventure just yet, you can head to one (or more) of the following landmarks:

• Agra Fort: This fort was the main residence of the Mughal dynasty before the capital was moved to Delhi in the 17th century. It’s home to some impressive architecture and you will also have a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal from here.
• Baby Taj: The Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah is known as the “Baby Taj”. This beautiful mausoleum doesn’t get nearly as many visitors as the Taj Mahal, but it is worth visiting! The Baby Taj is full of stunning details that will make sure to amaze you.
• Mehtab Bagh: This is one of the last Mughal gardens in Agra. The garden itself is not very impressive but it does offer a magnificent view of the Taj Mahal.

🚍 Agra to Delhi

As this is the last day of this itinerary, it’s time to hop on the train or grab a taxi back to Delhi after visiting Agra.

If you take the train , it will be a 3 to 5-hour journey to Delhi, depending on the type of train and how many stops it makes. By private car , the ride should take a little less than 3 hours.

From Delhi, you can easily fly back home or head to your next destination.

How to get around North India

You will find the best ways to get around India below, along with some tips on how to book transportation.

Getting from one city to another

• Public transportation: India has a good train network and there are plenty of buses too. Using public transportation is the cheapest way to get around the country, and it’s a fun experience at the same time! Do make sure to book your tickets in advance, especially if you’re taking the train, as train tickets tend to sell out quickly.
• Private car: The quickest and most comfortable way to get around India is by booking a private car. Although it will be more expensive, it will save you some time too.

I recommend using 12GoAsia to book your train or bus tickets. This is the only website I could find that accepts foreign credit cards, and it’s easy to use.

Getting around in cities

• Auto-rickshaw: You will find rickshaws nearly everywhere. This is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get around cities. I would recommend using the Ola app to book a rickshaw. It works just like Uber and this way, you won’t have to haggle hard to get a fair price.
• Private car: A comfortable way of getting around is by private car. However, you might get stuck in traffic and it is more expensive than taking the rickshaw.
• Scooter: Although you can rent a scooter nearly everywhere, I would only recommend doing this if you’re confident enough to ride the scooter in chaotic Indian traffic.
• Bus: There are buses in most cities and they are super cheap, however, finding the right bus might be a bit difficult.

North India itinerary for 10 days: Final thoughts

And voila – this is the end of this itinerary for 10 days in North India. While this is a huge country and you could easily spend years travelling here, this itinerary will bring you to the country’s highlights.

It’s the perfect introduction to India for first-timers and will give you a pretty good understanding of what this country is all about.

Operated by Intrepid Travel

Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and some friends. On that trip, they came up with the idea that perhaps others may be interested in this style of travel too. Just like that, Intrepid was born. Intrepid has come a long way since then, now giving over 100,000 travelers a year the opportunity to experience small group travel across all 7 continents. They use local transport, sleep in local accommodation from Cambodian stilt houses to Moroccan riads, and employ 100% local leaders. With three different travel styles including basix, original and comfort, themes ranging from cycling trips to family holidays, and itineraries crafted with the perfect balance of must-see sights and free time, Intrepid caters to every type of traveller no matter their age, budget or travel style. The company has grown but their mission remains the same: to change the way people see the world through sustainable, experience-rich travel

North India Revealed

22 days | say hello to sandstone cities, sacred rivers and spicy street food.

Embark on a 22-day odyssey through India’s intoxicating north. Discover sights, smells, and flavours that will blaze their way into your memory and stay there forever. See towering sandstone fortresses, pilgrims praying on riverbanks, Maharajah mementos in a ghostly palace, and silhouettes on a desert landscape. India can be a daunting place at times, even for experienced travellers, but with the guidance of your local leader, you’ll be navigating the crowds, dodging the cows and eating the best chaat from a cart in no time! From the beating heart of Delhi to the holy city of Varanasi – this is north India.

Trip overview

• Travel into the Thar Desert, spending a memorable evening eating Rajasthani food under the stars in a camp set among sand dunes.
• Cut through the chaos of Jodhpur’s Sadar Bazaar with your knowledgeable local leader, haggling for handicrafts and sipping some of the best lassi in town.
• Snap incredible photos of the immense Chand Baori, a grand ninth-century stepwell in rural Abhaneri that extends over 20 metres into the earth.
• Explore the centre of India’s spiritual heart – Varanasi – on a guided walking tour through the alleyways of the Old Town right to the bank of the Ganges.
• India can be intimidating, but with your local leader there the whole way, you’ll be dodging cows, navigating market stalls, and eating from the best chaat stalls in Delhi in no time.
• By travelling on this trip, you’ll learn about our Intrepid Foundation partner, Positive Change for Marine Life. Donations help them to nurture ocean health with community-led conservation initiatives that inspire coastal restoration, sustainable fishing practices and waste-management. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.
• This is a trip made for travellers who value their independence but also want the benefit of a local leader and a group of like-minded travellers. The itinerary has a mix of included activities and free time when your leader will offer suggestions. Please budget spending money for optional activities you want to partake in.
• In order to see as much as possible in this vast country, this trip involves some very long bus and train journeys, including a 19-hour overnight train from Delhi to Jaisalmer and a 15-hour overnight train from Varanasi to Delhi. These trips can be tiring but offer a quintessential Indian experience.
• Overnight trains feature padded berths with sheets, a pillow, and a blanket provided (although some people prefer to bring their own sleeping sheet). Please note that you may be sharing with locals of the same or opposite gender. More information can be found in the ‘Transport’ section of the Essential Trip Information or at https://www.intrepidtravel.com/adventures/india-trains-guide .

This morning set off by metro to Old Delhi to explore on a walking tour. Experience the chaos of an Indian traffic jam as you inch your way through the streets around Chandni Chowk marketplace in a traditional cycle rickshaw. Visit the Jama Masjid, Delhi's oldest mosque, then stop by the Sheeshganj Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) to learn about the religion. Tonight, transfer to the railway station and board an overnight train to Bikaner.

• Overnight Sleeper Train (1 night)
• Delhi - Leader-led Old Delhi walking & rickshaw tour
• Delhi - Visit to the Jama Masjid Mosque

This journey provides a great opportunity to get to know your new travel mates and meet the locals. Inclusions will not be affected by this change but may be moved to an alternative day if needed. Your leader will be able to provide the most up to date information at the welcome meeting.

Bikaner a city in Rajasthan still displays its ancient opulence through palaces and forts, built of red sandstone that have withstood the passage of time. Upon arrival in Bikaner this morning, freshen up at your hotel and then head out on a walk with your leader through the old city: Visit the Rampuriya Haveli, Spice Market and Bhandasar Jain Temple.

In the afternoon relax or opt to visit Junagarh Fort: Built in 1588 AD by Raja Rai Singh. Constructed in red sandstone and marble, it's courtyard, balconies and windows are a treat to the eye

• Junagarh Fort - INR300

After breakfast travel to Jaisalmer by bus. On arrival, choose whether to relax or join the group on an optional trip to the Jaisalmer Folklore Museum. This small museum displays a private family collection of printing blocks, musical instruments, religious artifacts, and decorations which offer insights into the cultural heritage of Jaisalmer.

• Guesthouse (1 night)
• Jaisalmer - Leader-led walking tour

Enjoy a free day to explore Jaisalmer. The city’s eponymous fort holds twisting alleys with markets where you can wander for hours. You can also find a series of Jain temples dating from the 15th and 16th centuries within the walls of the fort, and it’s easy to spend a few hours admiring their elaborate carvings. The opulent havelis (traditional Indian mansions) found throughout the city make another fine place to spend some time admiring the desert architecture.

• Jaisalmer - Folklore Museum - INR10

Today drive by jeep to the Thar Desert. Meet your guides, who will get a campfire going and cook a traditional Rajasthani dinner while you relax and watch the sunset. Spend the night stargazing and sharing stories in this incredible setting.

• Camping (with basic facilities) (1 night)
• Thar Desert - Overnight Desert Camp

The campsite is very basic, with a windbreak set up against a sand dune. Water and soft drinks are available for purchase. Bedding is on a camping cot with a pillow, sheets, mattress, and blankets provided. There are no structured bathroom facilities so please bring toiletries with you, including hand sanitizer. Toilets are simple long drop style. Please bring water, face wipes, hand sanitizer and any other supplies you may need.

During the winter months (December and January), temperatures in the desert can drop below zero. Your leader will monitor the weather forecast to decide whether this activity will go ahead. If not, you’ll take a day trip to the Thar Desert instead of the overnight stay. Some travellers also like to bring a sleeping bag and base layers for camping in the colder months.

Rise early to enjoy the sunrise over the sand dunes. After a simple breakfast, take a private vehicle to the railway station and then a 6-hour train ride across the desert to the blue city of Jodhpur. Enjoy a guided walk to explore the sights, including a visit to one of the oldest markets in India – the Sadar Bazaar. Here you can haggle over Bollywood soundtracks, bangles, leather shoes, and colourful saris, or simply soak up the energy of a typical Indian market. Jodhpur is home to some of the best lassis in India, so make sure you try one while you’re here.

The total train journey will take approximately 6 hours. This is a Third Class AC train.

Today you have the option to visit the colossal Mehrangarh Fort, one of the largest in India. The fort is still run by the Jodhpur royal family. If you choose to visit, you can explore the palaces, galleries, and artillery inside the fortress walls and admire great views over the city. If you’d prefer to see a more down to earth kind of Rajasthani life, it is also possible to spend today touring nearby Bishnoi villages. Spending time in these villages offers a glimpse into rural Rajasthani life and the chance to learn about the rich cultural traditions of the people who live there.

• Jodhpur - Leader-led walking tour
• Jodhpur - Bishnoi villages day trip - INR750
• Jodhpur - Meherangarh Fort - INR600

This morning take an auto-rickshaw to the bus station and board a local bus for an 8-hour journey to Udaipur. This romantic city is set amid the Aravalli Hills and curls around Lake Pichola, a man-made lake created in the 14th century. On arrival, take a guided walk to get your bearings. Explore twisting alleyways filled with shops and bazaars selling things like silver jewellery, shoes, bags, leather goods, and miniature paintings.

• Udaipur - Leader-led walking tour

Today’s bus journey travels 300 kilometres and takes approximately 8 hours.

Enjoy a free day to explore the sights of Udaipur. Perhaps take a short boat ride on the famous Lake Pichola (seasonal) and see the palaces of Jag Mandir and Jag Niwas rise out of the water and their own reflections. Otherwise, you could tour the lakeside City Palace complex, the largest palace in Rajasthan, where you can check out vivid murals and royal antiques. Alternatively, learn the secrets behind making the perfect Indian thali during a half-day cooking class.

Maybe you’d like to visit Sajjan Garh (Monsoon Palace), a 19th-century palace perched on a hill overlooking Lake Pichola. Named after Maharana Sajjan Singh of the Mewar Dynasty, Sajjan Garh offers ridiculously great views of the city below. Or perhaps you’re more inclined to visit the nearby village of Shilpgram, an ethnographic museum and arts hubs where traditional crafts are sold, and artists perform. 

• Udaipur - Cultural performance - INR250
• Udaipur - Sajjan Garh Palace (Monsoon Palace) - INR300
• Udaipur - Shilpgram craft village - INR50
• Udaipur - Cooking class - INR600
• Udaipur - City Palace - INR300
• Udaipur - Lake Pichola boat ride - INR600

Transfer to the station and travel by train for around 7 hours to the city of Ajmer. Hop in a private vehicle for a 45-minute drive to your hotel in Pushkar. One of India's holiest towns and a market centre for the surrounding villages, Pushkar is a great place to immerse yourself in Hindu traditions. On arrival, head out to explore the town on a walking tour, wandering through the main bazaar along the way. Finish with a walk around Pushkar Lake and past the bustling ghats and temples, observing the devout as they worship at the holy waters.

• Pushkar - Leader-led walking tour

Today’s train journey travels 300 kilometres and takes approximately 7 hours. This is a seated carriage with air conditioning.

Today in Pushkar is free for you to do as you please. Early morning risers can choose to hike up the hill to the Savitri Temple for sunrise views over the town. If the chai man is there, enjoy a steaming cup of tea at the top for breakfast. Later in the day, maybe pay a visit to the colourful Brahma Temple, which is dedicated to the Hindu god. If you’ve planned your tour to coincide with the Pushkar Camel Fair (which changes each year), today will mainly be set aside to experience one of India’s most famous festivals.

• Pushkar - Brahma Temple - Free
• Pushkar - Sunrise at Savitri Temple - Free

We do all we can to ensure that travellers booked on a trip that coincides with the Pushkar Camel Fair (which changes each year) will get an opportunity to see the best of the festival. However, we offer no guarantee that the announced dates will not change. Pushkar hotels raise their rates considerably during the festival, so departures across this period may be at a higher price. Although we make bookings months in advance, accommodation in Pushkar tends to overbook at this time. We ask for a flexible approach from people travelling at this time as accommodation, the order of activities and type of transport may need to change.

Return to Ajmer and travel by local bus to Jaipur (approximately 4 hours). On arrival take an auto-rickshaw to your hotel, then head out to explore Rajasthan’s capital on a guided walking tour. This tour includes a visit to the market and opt to visit the beehive-like Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal), built in 1799 so that women of the royal family could observe street festivities without being seen by the public. Your evening is free, so perhaps ask your leader to point out the best place to grab dal baati (dal served with wheat rolls).

• Jaipur - Leader-led walking & market tour

Today’s local bus journey travels 150 kilometres and takes approximately 4 hours.

Enjoy a free day in Jaipur, with plenty of optional activities to choose from to fill your day. For many travellers, an optional hot air balloon experience is one of the highlights of Jaipur. If you’d prefer to stay grounded (but still like expansive views) the Amber Fort is both an excellent example of Rajput architecture and a great place from which to see the surrounding area. Or maybe get among the crowds in the city’s bazaars to shop for artisan goods and semi-precious stones. For a true local experience, tonight you could immerse yourself in Bollywood with a movie at a classic cinema.

• Jaipur - Amber Fort - INR500
• Jaipur - City Palace - INR1000
• Jaipur - Bollywood Movie at Raj Mandir Cinema - INR400
• Jaipur - Balloon Safari - USD280

Ballooning can be done in the morning between September and April. For additional details, please see the ‘Important notes’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

Head to Abhaneri by private vehicle and local bus. This rural town provides a lovely detour from the bigger cities in Rajasthan. Visit the Chand Baori, a 20-metre-deep stepwell where water was collected and locals used to gather to escape the heat. Built in the late ninth century, the baori is a mind-bending feat of construction. Next visit another jewel of Abhaneri, the Harshat Mata Temple. This temple, which is now mostly ruined, was first constructed between the seventh and eighth centuries and dedicated to the goddess of happiness and joy.

• Abhaneri - Chand Baori stepwell

Today’s journey by private vehicle and local bus covers 95 kilometres and takes approximately 2.5 hours.

Head east by private transport for the 2–3-hour journey to Agra, via a stop Fatehpur Sikri where you can opt to go inside. Rich in Mughal heritage, Agra is a city of gardens, temples, and open rooftops. On arrival visit the Taj Mahal, a white marble mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz. One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal attracts over three million visitors each year, so be prepared for crowds. The rest of the day is free for you to explore. If you’re after a cool drink or a light meal, maybe head to Sheroes Hangout. This cafe is staffed by survivors of acid attacks and is located 10 minutes’ walk from the Taj.

• Agra - Taj Mahal - INR1300

Today’s journey by private vehicle covers 60 kilometres and takes approximately 2–3 hours.

Enjoy a free day before boarding the train this evening. Early risers might want to head back to the Taj Mahal for a very memorable sunrise. While you’re here, be sure to visit the spectacular Red Fort on the banks of the Yamuna River. Built in 1565 by Emperor Akbar, the fort was originally designed to be a military structure. If you have extra time, you may like to continue onto Akbar's Mausoleum to pay your respects to the great emperor. In the evening, board a 12-hour overnight train to Varanasi (Third Class AC).

• Agra - Agra Fort - INR650
• Agra - Akbar's Mausoleum - INR300

Today’s overnight train journey covers 700 kilometres and takes approximately 12 hours.

On arrival in Varanasi this morning transfer by auto-rickshaw to your hotel. Head out on a guided walk around the Old City, following your leader through the narrow alleyways. The rest of your day is free to do as you please. This evening, there are two options you should consider, both centred around the holy Ganges. The first is a sunset cruise along the river which allows you to observe life from a unique perspective in the fading light of day. If you’d prefer to stay on land, you could watch local priests perform a Ganga aarti (fire ceremony) at the Dashashwamedh Ghat.

• Varanasi - Leader-led Old City walking tour
• Varanasi - Sunset candle flower ceremony - INR400

There's so much to see and do in Varanasi. Use Intrepid’s guide to help plan your time at intrepidtravel.com/adventures/varanasi-guide-india.

Enjoy a free day to explore this holy city. We highly recommend starting very early and take an optional sunrise boat trip along the Ganges, passing pilgrims bathing and praying along the colourful ghats. Alternatively, head out to the ghats on foot to watch the dhobi-wallahs (clothes washers) drying clothes along the riverbank. You could even continue your stroll to the sinking Vishnu temple near the Manikarnika Ghat. Perhaps ask your leader about how to visit Sarnath, about ten kilometres outside of the city, where Gautama Buddha is said to have given his first speech after finding enlightenment.

• Varanasi - Sarnath - INR315
• Varanasi - Sunrise Ganges boat trip - INR400

In the morning, you have some free time to explore more of Varanasi. Perhaps visit the Vishwanath Temple, or simply grab some chaat and watch the world go by. If you’re craving a little peace and quiet before you board another overnight train, consider heading to the Kriti Gallery to check out some contemporary work by local artists. In the afternoon, board the overnight train for a 15-hour journey to Delhi.

Today’s overnight train journey covers 800 kilometres and takes approximately 15 hours.

Arrive in Delhi in the late morning and hop in a taxi to the hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to relax or explore the city at your own pace. The Home Cooked Delhi tour, which sees you visiting a local’s home for a leisurely meal, is a great way to immerse yourself in the city while still relaxing. Tonight, maybe get together with your group and head out for some dinner – your local leader will have plenty of recommendations.

For the Home Cooked Delhi tour and other immersive, locally guided adventures in Delhi, speak to a booking agent about Urban Adventures or visit urbanadventures.com/destination/delhi-tours.

With no activities planned for today, your North India adventure comes to an end. You are free to depart the accommodation at any time.

North India: Culture & Heritage

Culture of North India

North India is a melting pot of various traditions and customs, having assimilated influences over centuries.

Culture of North India: What to expect

Women predominantly wear the traditional  salwar-kameez  or  sari , although in rural parts of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, the  ghagra-choli  (skirt and blouse) is more prevalent. North Indian men usually wear a kurta with pyjamas or a traditional garment called  dhoti . Turbans or headgear are worn as a sign of one’s status.

Traditionally worn to as a symbol of female energy designed to protect the wearer and her spouse, bindis today are no longer limited to married women. As a result, colorful and decorative bindis can be seen to line the foreheads of many women. 

North India has various ethnic and religious groups such as Brahmins, Jats, Rajputs and Dalits. Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Jains regularly rub shoulders in this multilingual and multicultural part of India. 

Hindi is spoken and understood everywhere, although in the interiors of each state, local people converse in regional languages. 

Varanasi, which is popularly called the oldest city in the world, is considered the spiritual capital of India. Thousands of pilgrims travel to the city every year, to bathe in the waters of the holy river Ganges and to perform Hindu funeral rites. The city also houses the Kashi Vishwanath – one of the most revered Hindu temples in India.  

Art, painting, sculpting, dance and music are various important tenets of North Indian culture. Revered poet Kalidasa, as well as scholars like Panini, Tulsidas and Chand Bardai were all from this region. North Indian painting is not to be taken lightly either – Rajasthani art and Rajput miniature paintings have etched out their own niche in Indian history. 

Hindustani classical music traces its roots back to the Vedic time in North India, and starting from the fun Bhangra to the traditional Kathak, the region boasts various forms of dance as well.

Did you know?

Garlanding is a sign of respect in North India and garlands are offered to deities or honored visitors. Flowers are supposed to be auspicious and their aroma is expected to rejuvenate you.

Day 0: Arrive in Delhi | Day at Leisure

Any trip to India inadvertently starts in the capital of India, Delhi because it’s extremely well connected with almost all the major countries and cities across the world. All major airlines have their flights operating to and from Indira Gandhi International Airport. Plus, Delhi gives easy access to the major states and cities in India via air, rail, and road.

Book your flights with Skyscanner . Best prices guaranteed.

Suitably, your trip to north India begins in Delhi .

Your arrival time in Delhi depends upon the flight you choose. You can plan your arrival day accordingly. We’d recommend checking into your hotel or apartment, relaxing, taking time to adapt to your new time zone, and then maybe taking a stroll around the area nearby to get the vibe of the city.

Where to stay in Delhi? If you go by our suggestion, Connaught Place is the best area to stay. It’s easy to navigate the city from here as it’s the center of the city. The Claridges , The Imperial , Bloomrooms , and CP Villa are some of our choice of properties in Central Delhi.

How to get around Delhi? The best way to get around Delhi has to be Delhi Metro. It’s easy, quick, affordable, and efficient. With an overwhelming fleet of buses, DTC takes you to hard-to-reach parts of Delhi but the journey isn’t comfortable especially if you are traveling with kids. Cycle rickshaws, e-rickshaws, and auto rickshaws (tuk-tuk) are best for short distances. They come in handy while exploring Old Delhi. Ola and Uber are widely available in Delhi.

Day 1: Explore Old Delhi

Kick off your day with an authentic south Indian breakfast at Saravana Bhavan or Andhra Bhawan .

Wherever we travel, we genuinely want to see the city or country beyond the image that photojournalists often create. And that’s why we want to know where to seek the soul of the city. Well, the soul of Delhi lies in Old Delhi or Purani Dilli. No wonder it’s one of the top bucket list destinations in India .

Every nook and cranny of the old city unfolds the stories of the past. The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built Shahjahanabad, the seventh city of Delhi in 1639 that’s now known as Old Delhi.

A walk through this part of the city is perfect to get a sneak into the heritage, culture, history, and food of Delhi.

Your first stop is Jama Masjid . The red sandstone mosque showcases impressive Indo-Islamic architecture and is known for being the largest mosque in India.

Check out one of the historical gurudwaras in Delhi, Sis Ganj Sahib . It was constructed in 1783 to commemorate the martyrdom of the 9th Sikh guru, Guru Teg Bahadur who was beheaded here on the orders of the cruelest Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1675.

Next up is Red Fort or Lal Qila . The ancient fort had been a seat for Mughal Empire and is now one of the most significant monuments in India. The Prime Minister of India hoists the National Flag and addresses the people of India from its ramparts every year on 15th August, the Independence Day of India. An absolute fusion of Islamic, Persian, Timurid, and Hindu architecture, the red sandstone fort is grand in every sense and features stunning palaces, pavilions, and mosques.

Come back in the evening for the impressive sound and light show, Son-et-Lumiere . The timings of the show differ with the season.

It’s time to take on the most awaited activity of the day. Explore the heart of Old Delhi, Chandani Chowk. Walk past or ride past (hire a tuk-tuk) the cramped, colorful, and flavorful bazaars of Chandani Chowk. As you walk through the narrow lanes, you discover something new and exciting with each twist and turn. That’s the beauty of Old Delhi. Dariba Kalan (famous for silver jewelry), Khari Baoli (the largest wholesale spice market in Asia) , Katra Neel (ethenic wear), and Bhagirath Palace (the largest wholesale electrical products market in Asia) are some of the best markets in Chandani Chowk.

If you love all things rustic like us, don’t forget to dig into the offbeat corners of Chandani Chowk like Naughara Gali  (elaborate and vibrant architecture) and Ghalib ki Haveli .

Also, you just can’t explore Chandani Chowk and not savor the intricate delicacies in Old Delhi. You know, one can only discover Old Delhi through its food 🙂 It’s best to take one of the guided food walks for a unique culinary experience. We recommend Eat Like a Local: Chandni Chowk Street Food and Walking Tour by Get Your Guide and Old Delhi Street Food Tour by Viator .

If you want to take a self-guided food walk then your Old Delhi culinary itinerary must include dry fruit paratha at Paranthe Wali Gali , jalebi at Old Famous Jalebi Wala , kachori at Jung Bahadur Kachoriwala , Dahi bhallas at Natraj Dahi Bhalla , khurchan at Hazari Lal Jain Khurchan Wala , bedmi puri and nagori halwa at Shyam Sweets or Shiv Mishthan Bhandar , Daulat ki chaat at Khemchand Daulat Ki Chaat , dal biji at Kanwarji Dalbijiwale , an overwhelming variety of chaats at Shree Balaji Chaat Bhandar and Bishan Swaroop for Chaat , lassi at Amritsari Lassi Wala , and masala chai at Kailash Chand Jain Chai Wale .

Make sure to take all the precautions to avoid Delhi belly (traveler’s diarrhea) while you enjoy the mouthwatering street food in Delhi.

End your day by dining at Plum By Bent Chair . It’s so so charming and gorgeous that you’d just want to sit and adore the mise-en-scène.

Day 2: Explore New Delhi

What do you think about the day 1 exploration? How did you like the mayhem of noises, colors, smells, and sights? Today, you are going to see an altogether different side of Delhi. You are heading to New Delhi. If Old Delhi is an assault on the senses, New Delhi is a feast for them.

Have a tummyful and soulful breakfast at Mister Chai or Cafe Lota . Start your sightseeing tour with Gurudwara Shri Bangla Sahib. Comfortably located in the center of Delhi, the gurdwara isn’t just known for being one of the largest Sikh shrines in the world but also for its stunning architecture. And once tasted, you can never forget Kada Prasad’s taste.

Make headway to Lutyens Delhi, a swanky and posh area that’s not only home to high-profile people like top politicians including the Prime Minister of India and leading industrialists of the country but also boasts broad roads, grand avenues, iconic landmarks, stunning monuments, important government buildings, world-class museums, and almost all the embassies. It presents the colonial past and heritage of India.

Start your tour at Rajpath, the broadest avenue in the city. As you walk the area, you’ll pass by Agrasen ki Baoli (historic stepwell), Rashtrapati Bhawan (President’s Palace), North Block, and South Block (home to the most important ministries of the Government of India), Parliament of India, India Gate, Janpath, and Connaught Place (main shopping district of Delhi).

India Gate is one of the most iconic moments in Delhi. The archway (inscribed with the names of soldiers who chose martyrdom for the nation) commemorates the Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army during World War I. Withing walking distance of the India Gate is the newly constructed National War Memorial . The memorial walls adorn the names of soldiers killed in various operations of Independent India. The memorial also has the Amar Jawan Jyoti, the eternal flame that burns day and night to remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in Indo-Pakistan War in 1971 and other operations after.

This part of Delhi is home to some of the best museums in India. If you are a museum enthusiast and have time for only one museum then I’d urge you to visit the National Museum of India . With its vast display of 200,000 artifacts (Indian as well as foreign), the museum is known to be a great place to unearth the world’s rich cultural heritage.

The entire tour of Lutyen’s Delhi will take around 3 to 4 hours. If you want a break from sightseeing and looking for a place to have lunch nearby, look no further than Gulati . They serve the best North Indian food.

Now that you are recharged, head to Lodhi Gardens, an oasis of peace and tranquility in an otherwise chaotic city. This isn’t just a green open space but a treasure trove of history. Yes! Some beautiful ancient monuments inside the park are -the tomb of Mohammed Shah, the Tomb of Sikandar Lodi, Sheesh Gumbad, Bara Gumbad, and Athpula Bridge.

About 900 meters from the gardens is Lodhi Art District , the first-ever open-air art district in India. Street art lovers will enjoy the stroll.

Enjoy a cup of tea (of your choice) at Mittal Tea House .

After a much-needed dose of caffeine, check out two of the most beautiful garden tombs in Delhi – Safdarjung Tomb and Humayun’s Tomb . A combination of art, history, and beauty; both monuments are famous among Instagrammers. You can’t get enough of them.

After a hectic yet satiating excursion, it’s time for dinner. We present you with a restaurant in Delhi that’s known for its authentic and unique dining experience – Indian Accent . A stunning waterfront location, world-class services, and traditional Indian food with a global twist make Indian Accent one of the best dining destinations in Delhi. As a first-timer, try their chef’s tasting menu.

If you want to explore Qutub Minar , Purana Qila , Lotus Temple , and Tughlaqabad Fort , you can try visiting them on your last day in Delhi depending on the time of your flight.

Delhi’s huge and you can’t explore all of it in a day or two. The city needs at least 4 to 5 days to catch sight of all the best places to visit in Delhi .

Day 3: Delhi to Varanasi | Explore Varanasi

You can’t miss Varanasi (aka Benares, Banaras, or Kashi) when in India. The spiritual capital of India gives you a chance to know India in all its rawness. It’s not a destination but an experience. An experience that has the power to change the way you look at life and death. An experience that transforms you as a person. An experience that revolutionizes your life. An experience that stays with you forever.

How to get to Varanasi from Delhi ? Take a late-night flight from Delhi to Varanasi . The flight time is about 1 hour 30 minutes. The flight is the fastest way to reach Varanasi from Delhi and the most sensible way as you only have a day to explore one of the oldest living cities in the world. Alternatively, you can catch an overnight train (Shiv Ganga Express or Swatantrata Senani Express) from New Delhi Railway Station to Varanasi Junction. Whatever mode you choose to travel, make sure you have an entire day to feel the vibe of the world-famous ancient city.

How to get around Varanasi? The most convenient (and the only) mode of transportation to explore Varanasi is walking. If you feel tired you can hire a cycle rickshaw or auto rickshaw (tuk-tuk).

Where to stay in Varanasi? If you want to stay on the banks of the River Ganges, Gully Ghar (budget) and Brijrama Palace (luxury) are the best options. For travelers who wish to stay away from the mayhem, The Taj Ganges and Hotel Surya, Kaiser Palace serve as peaceful getaways.

Start your day with an early morning (5 am) boat ride on the Ganges , the holiest river in India. It’s beautiful to witness the spiritual city of Varanasi waking up with the sun. As the boat cruises gently down the Ganges and the sun rises along the banks of the river, you somehow feel the divine power. There isn’t any other way to take in the culture and spirituality of Varanasi.

Head straight to the Ram Bhandar in Govindpura to savor the famous khasta kachori and aloo sabzi and jalebi for breakfast. Tucked away in a narrow lane of Varanasi, this tiny shop is winning hearts and tummies since 1887. Just about 400 meters from here is the famous shop called The Blue Lassi which serves about 100 types of lassi. You must try their special dry fruit lassi.

Next on our itinerary for Varanasi is the iconic Kashi Vishwanath Temple . Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple is one of the most important and revered centers of the Hindu religion. It’s home to one of the 12 jyotirlingas in India. As per Hindu belief, visiting the Dwadash (12) Jyotirlingas relieve you from all your sins.

After visiting the iconic temple, take a stroll across the many Ghats (there are over 88 ghats) of Varanasi. Walk the Banaras Ghat Road and stop by the ghats along the road. The most famous ghats you’ll want to check out include Manikarnika Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat, Assi Ghat, Panchaganga Ghat, Rajendra Prasad Ghat, Adi Keshav Ghat, Chet Sigh Ghat, Harishchandra Ghat, Darbhanga Ghat, Man Mandir Ghat, and Kedar Ghat.

Manikarnika Ghat and Harishchandra Ghat are also known as burning ghats as they are exclusively used for cremation ceremonies by Hindus. The process, however, isn’t easy to witness in fact, quite unpleasant and disturbing but it’s what makes Varanasi what it is.

Blessed by Lord Shiva, Manikarnika Ghat holds a supreme position among other ghats by the holy scriptures in Hinduism and is considered the holiest ghat in Varanasi. It is believed that if a person is cremated here, he immediately attains salvation (moksha or absolute liberation from the cycle of life and death). Harishchandra Ghat is closely connected with the legendary king, Raja Harishchandra .

After a soul-awakening tour of ghats, you must drop in at Pappu Chaiwala at Assi crossing. After a sip or two from the best cup of chai in Varanasi, you’d forget the fatigue of mind and body.

Other famous places where you can hog on street food in Varanasi are Kashi Chat Bhandar (Tamatar Chat, Chooda Matar, Golgappe), Baati Chokha Restaurant (Baati Chokha), Shreeji Sweets & Milk Markandey Sardar (Malaiyo) , Kashi Vishwanath Thandai Ghar (Thandai), Green Lassi (Bhang Lassi), and Ramchandra Chaurasia Tambul Bhandar (Banarasi Paan). You can choose any of them for a flavorful lunch.

After lunch, it’s time to visit Sarai Mohana . Popularly known as weaver’s village, it’s well-known for silk weaving. The local artisans craft the world-famous Banarasi Saree . Each piece is intricately designed using the finest silk and adorned with zari (gold and silver brocade). A tour of the weaver’s village gives you an opportunity to meet the craftsmen themselves and know the art, culture, heritage, and history associated with the craft.

Finally, it’s time to witness the most magical experience you’ll ever witness in your lifetime – Ganga Aarti at Dashaswamedh Ghat . It remains the celebrity attraction of Varanasi. It’s a visual and sensory treat! It’s beautiful. It’s spiritual to the core. It’s pious. It’s soul-stirring. You are there but you aren’t there – that’s the feeling! As the aroma of flowers and the sound of prayer bells and holy chants fill the air and the glittering lights of lamps fill the sky, the devotees dance in joy. The aura of sheer energy and positivity is unmatched.

End your day (BTW, what a day!) with homestyle wholesome Indian food at Niyati Cafe . It’s located around 250 meters (5 minutes walk) from Dashaswamedh Ghat. You might have to wait for a table as the cafe is quite popular among locals and tourists and sees a lot of guests.

Day 4: Varanasi to Lucknow | Explore Lucknow

Before you embark on a long journey from Varanasi to Lucknow, you must relish the Banaras special malai toast and masala chai at Laxmi Chai Wale .

How to get to Lucknow from Varanasi? You can hire a cab and start as early as possible to reach Lucknow latest by lunchtime. The road trip from Varanasi to Lucknow takes a little over 5 hours. It’s an easy and smooth journey via Purvanchal Expressway.

A train journey is also a good option. It’s best to book a late-night train (Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express, Chandigarh SF Express, Howrah Dehradun Kumbha SF Express, and Malda Town New Delhi Express) to reach Lucknow earliest by 8 am. If that’s not possible for you, you can board an early morning train (Tatanagar Jallianwala Bagh Express and Ganga Sutlej Express) that should arrive in Lucknow at about 3 pm.

How to get around Lucknow? If not huge, Lucknow is not at all compact. After all, it’s the capital and the largest city of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The attractions are sparsely located. So, you’d need transport to get from one place to another. The options available are Lucknow Metro, Cab, and Auto Rickshaw. The city center (old city) is best explored by an auto rickshaw while you can use the metro or a cab (Uber or Ola) to get to the airport, railway station, or attractions located outside the city center.

Where to stay in Lucknow? If you want to stay where all the action is then the old city is the best area to stay. It’s where all the sights and famous street food vendors are located. The city center is chaotic and has no good places to stay. However, there are areas close to the center where you can book a hotel. Fortune Park BBD , FabHotel Prime V Hussainganj , La Place Sarovar Portico , Radisson Lucknow City Center , Clarks Awadh , and Lebua Lucknow are some of the best properties close to the city center.

For all those travelers who crave peace and luxury and don’t mind distances, Gomti Nagar is the best area to stay. Novotel , Hilton Garden Inn , Hyatt Regency , Fairfield by Marriott , Renaissance Lucknow Hotel , and Taj Mahal Lucknow are some of the best accommodation options.

Lucknow, fondly known as the City of Nawabs (as it was the former capital of Awadh ruled by Nawabs ) attracts tourists for its rich culture and cuisine. Your Lucknow itinerary for one day depends upon the time you reach Lucknow. If you come by overnight train, you’ll have a full day in Lucknow while if you are coming by road or train, you’ll have a half day in the city.

For those who have an entire day at their disposal can start with a nice breakfast at Sharma Ji Ki Chai. Pair gol samosa or bun maska with a kulhad chai.

After a hearty breakfast, take an auto-rickshaw to Husainabad Trust Road . It’s where most of the famous sights are located.

Start with Bada Imambara . It has to be the most fascinating attraction in Lucknow. It’s famous for its maze, Bhul Bhulaiya which has about 1024 ways to get inside but only 2 to come out. Sounds interesting? Apart from the maze, within the complex of the Bara Imambara are the Asfi mosque, an important place of worship for the Shia Muslims, and Shah Baoli, an ancient stepwell. The view from the top of the building is stunning.

Next, you’ll witness Rumi Darwaza. A beautiful example of Awadhi architecture, Rumi Darwaza looks imposing. You can spot the grand gate from your auto itself. It’s also called as Turkish Gate because of its similarity with an ancient gate in Turkey, Bab-i-Humayun.

Move on to another beautiful monument, Chhota Imambara . It is located about 1 km west of Bara Imambara. Also known as Imambara of Hussainabad , the exterior walls of the building showcase Quranic verses inscribed in Islamic calligraphy while the interior hall reveals myriad chandeliers and crystal glass lamp stands.

Next, you can spot the Husainabad Clock Tower aka Ghanta Ghar , a structure built by Nawab Nasir-ud-din Haide in 1881 to celebrate the arrival of the first Lieutenant-Governor of the United Province of Avadh, Sir George Couper and Satkhanda (literally means seven-storeyed), an ancient watchtower. You can admire them from the outside.

It’s time for lunch. If you are a non-vegetarian, you must head to Idrees Biryani for Dum/Awadhi biryani. If you are a vegetarian like me, gorge on yummy chole bhature at Sardar Ji Ke Mashhoor Chole Bhature-Punjabi Zaiqa .

Ignore the sluggish vibe after lunch (you have no time for that) and hire an auto to British Residency or The Residency . Once home to the British Resident General who was a representative in the court of the Nawab, the residency now serves as a government office. The most notable fact about the building is that it has been an important part of the Seige of Lucknow in 1857.

After a day’s sightseeing, it absolutely is necessary to savor a cup of tea at Tandoori Chai. It’s not your regular cup of tea. It’s something special. The smokey kulhad makes all the difference here. Make sure you witness the process as the person prepares it for you.

Now that you are feeling refreshed and energetic, why not go shopping? I always buy suits and kurtas with the traditional handiwork of Chikankari whenever I visit Lucknow. Chikankari literaaly means hand embriodery. It’s the well-known ancient art form of Lucknow. You can find them everywhere in Lucknow but I recommend Bhairavi’s Chikan in Chowk, Ada Designer Chikan Studio and Nazrana Chikan in Hazrajganj, and SEWA (Self Employed Women’s Association) Chikan in Halwasiya Market and Brahm Nagar.

You must be feeling excited after adding a chic piece of Chikankari to your wardrobe. Celebrate with an extravagant dinner at Tundey Kababai. Try their iconic mutton galouti kebab and Mughlai paratha. Vegetarians don’t need to be disappointed. Lucknow has amazing options for them too. You can go to Royal Cafe and order their basket chaat and aloo tikki or can taste khasta at Rattilal or Durga Khasta Corner .

A meal isn’t complete without a dessert. Do you agree? Kesar kulfi falooda from Prakash Kulfi Shop is here to satisfy your sweet tooth. Alternatively, you can also try malai gilori aka malai paan or bilai ki gilori at Ram Asrey .

Day 5: Lucknow to Agra | Explore Agra

It’s time to visit Agra, a city that’s world-famous for its monument of love.

How to get to Agra from Lucknow? A drive from Agra to Lucknow via Agra Lucknow Expressway offers super smooth and super fast. It should take anywhere between 4 to 5 hours in normal traffic. Alternatively, an overnight (Patna Kota Express, Marudhar Express, Avadh Express ) or an early morning train (Gomti Express) can be booked. Also, an overnight bus journey is also an option. Book your train and bus tickets on 12Go .

How to get around Agra? The best way to get around Agra is indisputably by auto-rickshaw. Make sure to negotiate and fix the fare with a driver before hiring an auto. Taxis are also easily available, a bit pricey though. Another fast, effortless, and hassle-free option is to hire a car and driver for a half or full day.

Where to Stay in Agra? Travelers from different corners of the world come to Agra just and just to witness the greatest monument of love in the world – the Taj Mahal. So it certainly makes sense to stay close to the Taj Mahal. And imagine staying in a room with a view of the Taj Mahal. Located along Taj East Gate Road (less than 1 km from the Taj Mahal), The Oberoi Amarvilas Agra fulfills your wish. There are some amazing properties located in Taj Ganj (just 3 km away from the Taj Mahal) like ITC Mughal , Tajview , and Crystal Sarovar Premiere . For those who prefer a homestay over a hotel, The Coral House Homestay by the Taj is the best bet. It’s utterly beautiful and so so close (700m) to the Taj.

What to do in Agra? Well, admire the Taj Mahal. There are many ways to admire one of the eight wonders of the world. You’ll spend your day taking in and capturing the beauty of the Taj from different perspectives. Plan to admire the monument both during the sunrise and sunset .

If you are coming by road or an early morning train, you should reach Agra by noon. You can check in to your hotel, freshen up and have your lunch at the hotel’s restaurant before your sightseeing tour.

If you’ve chosen to reach Agra by an overnight train or bus, you’d start your sightseeing tour bright and early. You can have your breakfast at your hotel’s restaurant or can choose to go to Saniya Palace Restaurant or Good Vibes Cafe or Anokhe Paranthe . If you plan to take a sunrise tour of the Taj Mahal . Make sure you reach the monument as early as 5:30 am.

First off, visit the Taj Mahal .

There are three entrance gates to the monument – the East Gate or Fatehabadi Darwaza, the West Gate or Fatehpuri Darwaza, and the South Gate or Sirhi Darwaza (used for exit only). Most of the hotels are located near the East Gate so you’d probably enter through it. There are separate queues for foreign tourists and domestic tourists. The ticket counter is a bit away from the main monument so prepare to walk for about 1 km or hire a rickshaw. Booking your tickets online gives you an edge over other tourists.

The main components of the Taj Mahal complex are Darwaza-i-rauza or Great Gate, Taj Bageecha or Taj Mahal Gardens or Char Bagh, masjid or a mosque, and naqqar khana or mihman khana or the rest house or guest pavilion on either side of the Taj Mahal and the mausoleum, the Taj itself. Taj Mahal Museum is also a part of the complex.

The first glance of the snowy-white tomb is soul-stirring.

While you are at the Taj Mahal, give time and notice the tiniest details. It’s awe-inspiring to see the designs and inscriptions intricately carved into marble.

Photograph as if it’s your last chance to capture the Taj Mahal because you never know if you’d be back or not. Try different angles. Try different lighting. And don’t forget to get yourself clicked sitting on a Diana Bench .

Taj Mahal is open all days except Fridays. It opens 30 minutes before sunrise and closes 30 Minutes before sunset.

Now that you’ve seen the attraction you’ve always dreamt of visiting, it’s time to shift your focus to another UNESCO World Heritage site close by, Agra Fort . This historic red sandstone is another Mughal architectural masterpiece. The fort is home to some beautiful palaces like Khas Mahal, Shahjahani Mahal, and Jahangir Mahal, ornate audience halls like Diwan-i-Khas, step-wells, and mosques.

After an exhausting tour of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, it’s vital to refill your cup of energy with a hot cup of masala chai, and what better place than 25 Hours Hangout Cafe ?

Next, visit the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula . The tomb was built by Nur Jahan, one of the wives of Jahangir and the first and only female ruler of the Mughal Empire for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg (known by his title of I’timad-ud-Daulah). Because it being the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal, the tomb is famously known as Baby Taj or Bachcha Taj. In fact, it’s said to be the first draft of the Taj Mahal.

Now you must head to Mehtab Bagh (literally translates to Moonlight Garden) for the best view of the Taj Mahal. Located on the bank of river Yamuna, the Taj Viewpoint presents the different colors of the Taj – golden during sunrise and sunset, milky white during the afternoon, and out of this world during moonlight.

The last but not least, take a boat ride on the Yamuna River for another gorgeous unobstructed panoramic view of the Taj Mahal. A 30-minute ride on the river won’t cost a dime but gifts you once in a lifetime moment of sheer wonder and awe that could last forever.

Finish your day with an elaborate Indian dinner at Peshawri .

Day 6: Sunrise at Taj Mahal | Agra to Jaipur | Stop by Fatehpur Sikri, Keoladeo National Park, and Chand Baori

Witness and capture the Taj during sunrise (if you haven’t already) before you head to Jaipur .

How to get to Jaipur from Agra? There are quite a few super fast trains and buses available from Agra to Jaipur but you are going to hire a car and driver for this part of your trip as you’ve to explore two of the amazing places to stop by on the way: Fatehpur Sikri , Keoladeo Ghana National Park , & Chand Baori on the way to Jaipur.

Your first stop on the way is Fatehpur Sikri .  Located at a distance of 37 km from Agra, Fatehpur Sikri is a walled city built by Mughal Emperor Akbar to honor a Sufi saint, Sheikh Salim Chisti. The city served as the capital of the Mughal empire for a short period of time before he abandoned it because of the acute water shortage.

Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the walled fortification features Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, Tomb of Salim Chisti, Jodha Bai’s Palace, Diwan-Khas, Panch Mahal, Birbal’s House, Khwabgah, and many more structures.

Note: If you want to hire a guide, look for a qualified government-recommended guide. You can find them with an ID card near the ticket counter.

The next stopover on today’s itinerary is one of the best national parks in India and the finest bird sanctuaries in the world, Keoladeo Ghana National Park (formerly known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary). It takes about 25 to 30 minutes to reach the national park from Fatehpur Sikri. A royal hunting ground during the 1850s, Keoladeo was declared a national park in 1982 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.

From basking pythons, nilgai, and deer, to spotted owls, painted storks, and more, the park is home to more than 370 species of birds and animals. The national park has many routes to choose from and it can be explored either on foot or by cycle, or by rickshaw. It’s recommended to hire one of the trained rickshaw pullers who helps you navigate the park and double up as a knowledgeable guide. Also, don’t forget to carry a pair of binoculars. Located right in the heart of the park is an ancient (250 years old) Hindu Temple, Keoladeo Shiva Temple . The national park got its name from this temple.

It’s already lunchtime. Have a traditional lunch at Gulmohar Restaurant at The Bagh Resort and then drive towards Jaipur.

Take a bit of detour from Manpur to reach Chand Baori Step Well . Chand Baori is located in the tiny village of Abhaneri in the Dausa district of Rajasthan. Built by King Chanda of the Nikumbha dynasty to solve the problem of water shortage in the parched land of Abhaneri. The stepwell got its name from the king himself.

An architectural wonder, this ancient stepwell is one of the largest and deepest step wells in India. Over 3500 meticulously carved steps descend 20 meters down 913 stories) to reach the water level.

You can also find excavated stone sculptures and carved pillars kept in the corridors around the stepwell.

Don’t forget to take blessings from the Harshat Mata (goddess of joy, happiness, and brightness) at Harshat Mata Temple . The temple is situated right next to the stepwell. In fact, King Chanda dedicated Chand Baori to the goddess.

Now fasten your seatbelt, sit back, relax, and enjoy a 2 hours journey from Chand Baori to Jaipur.

You’ll be in Jaipur by late evening. Check in to your hotel and enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee at your hotel’s restaurant. If you feel energetic after an evening dose of caffeine, you might want to gorge on good food at Masala Chowk , an open-air food court in Ram Niwas Garden where you can taste the famous street food of Jaipur.

How to get around Jaipur? Getting from one attraction to another is easy by auto rickshaw and e-rickshaw. You can hire a taxi, Uber, or Ola for longer distances. The easiest and fastest option (especially if you are traveling with kids) is hiring a car with a chauffeur for a day or two. It doesn’t cost that much but makes exploration a breeze.

Where to stay in Jaipur? Jaipur has quite an overwhelming range of accommodations for all budgets. We recommend staying in a heritage haveli or a palace hotel for an authentic experience. Our pick of best accommodations in Jaipur includes Shahpura House , Umaid Bhawan , Alsisar Haveli , The Jai Bagh Palace , Rambagh Palace , The Oberoi Rajvilas Jaipur , and Rajmahal Palace RAAS .

Day 7: Explore Jaipur

You only have two days in Jaipur so your itinerary to explore the pink city should be designed in a way that covers the best of Jaipur .

Fondly known as the Paris of India , Jaipur remains the most loved Indian city by foreigners for all the right reasons. The city seems to be the perfect embodiment of quintessential India. It beautifully values, embraces and preserves its rich culture, heritage, customs, history, and warm hospitality. A maze of colorful bazaars and historical sights, Jaipur oozes a unique charm.

You must must start your day super early to make the most of your time in Jaipur. Enjoy a breakfast with a view (of Amer Fort) at The Stag Rooftop Restro, Cafe, & Lounge before you visit Amer Fort. Reach the fort as soon as it opens (8 am) to escape the crowds. A fine example of Rajput architecture, the Amer Fort or Amber Fort is deemed to be one of the most majestic forts in India. The fort was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites under the category of Hillforts of Rajasthan in 2013.

The main attractions in the fort are Suraj Pol, Chand Pol, Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khaas, Ganesh Pol, Jaleb Chowk, Singh Pol, Jai Mandir, Yash Mandir, Sukh Niwas, Sheesh Mahal, Suhag Mandir, Shila Devi Temple, Bhool Bhulaiya, and Zanana Dyodhi. The underground tunnels that connect the two mighty forts of Amer and Jaigarh are also worth exploring.

Walk a bit (about 800m) to see Panna Meena Ka Kund . an ancient stepwell that’s a delight to the eyes.

You can check out Jaigarh Fort . Not as beautiful as Amer Fort, Jaigarh is a defensive fort. The major draw here is the world’s largest cannon on the wheels, Jaivana. You can also enjoy the view over Amer Fort and Lake Maota from here.

Next on the itinerary is Nahargarh Fort . It’s at a distance of 11 km from the Amer Fort. If you are traveling by car, you can stop by Gaitore Ki Chhatriyan . A royal crematorium ground for the Kachhwaha rulers, it’s an architectural marvel.

Travelers rave about (rightly so) the panoramic views over the city of Jaipur from Nahargarh Fort. You got to witness the magic. The fort itself is beautiful.

You can have your lunch at Indian Curry Palace or Govindam Retreat . Both are famous for their authentic Indian flavors.

Now drive to Jal Mahal or Water Palace True to its name, it’s a palace floating in the middle of a lake. Though you can’t visit the palace as the state government has closed the entrance to the palace but can appreciate the beauty from a distance.

Enjoy a cup of tea at Kokum Bistro while you wait for the last but of course not the least attraction of the day – The Light and Sound Show at Amber Place.

The show takes you back in time when Kachwaha Rajputs ruled the kingdom of Amer. The famous Indian poet Gulzar created this masterpiece and the narration in the baritone voice of the legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is the cherry on the cake. The show timings differ with the season and version (English or Hindi).

Put a full stop to your hectic day with a wholesome dinner at 1135 AD .

Day 8: Explore Jaipur

On your second or rather last day in Jaipur, we recommend rising early to catch sight of Hawa Mahal during sunrise.

The best spot to admire the Hawa Mahal is the Tattoo Cafe & Lounge . It’s opposite the palace. You can enjoy a good breakfast and tea at the cafe while capturing Hawa Mahal as the early morning sun rays light up its façade.

Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds was built in 1799 by Sawai Pratap Singh for the royal ladies so they could observe the activities and processions on the street below while remaining unnoticed. Its unique five-storey honeycomb façade showcasing 953 latticed windows known as jharokhas has become an icon for Jaipur. Some tourists just come here to take a photo of the iconic building and some decide to explore it from the inside. The interior isn’t as fascinating as the exterior, though you can climb to the top and admire the view of the vibrant bazaar through the windows.

Another exquisite attraction in the old walled city of Jaipur is the City Palace . The palace has been home to the royal family of Jaipur for centuries now. A mind-blowing fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture, the spacious complex is alive with beautiful courtyards, pavilions, gardens, and temples. Out of all the attractions you see inside, Pritam Niwas Chowk with its ornate doors, and Chhavi Niwas in Chandra Mahal remain our favorites. They are gorgeous! You’d need to pay the additional amount for an entry to Chandra Mahal. It’s quite a cost but worth every penny.

Next door to the City Palace is the Jantar Mantar , a huge astronomical observatory built by Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur between 1728 and 1734. It has over 19 stone instruments including Samrat Yantra, the largest stone sundial in the world. Even today, the instruments are considered to be accurate to perfection and are still used to calculate the movements of the sun and other celestial bodies.

Head over to Hawk View Restaurant & Bar for lunch.

After a break for lunch, we recommend exploring the fascinating bazaars of Jaipur. You’ll find shops and tiny stalls selling everything from local handicrafts to traditional wear to silver jewelry to lac bangles to mojris.

And don’t forget to try the amazing street food while strolling around the markets. We recommend traditional lassi at Lassiwala , a cup of masala chai at Gulab Ji Chai Wale , and pyaaz kachori at Rawat Mishthan Bhandar .

To end the day, we suggest dining at Peacock Restaurant . This open-air patio restaurant is a stunning space adorned with peacock-themed paintings, plants, and dim outdoor lighting. It serves amazing Indian as well as global cuisine.

Day 9: Jaipur to Shekhawati | Explore Shekhawati

This morning we suggest rising early (as we always do) for an exciting trip to Shekhawati. A northeastern region of Rajasthan, Shekhawati comprises Sikar, Jhunjhunu, and Churu. Shekhawati is famous for its elaborate Havelis. A true haven for art and architecture lovers, the region promises a beautiful ride.

Maharao Shekhaji founded the region. He inherited his father’s estate of Amarsar in Amer and enjoyed the reputation and power that wasn’t taken positively by the Kachhwaha rulers of Amber. He fought against them to get his independent state. That’s when Shekhawati came into existence.

Located on the Silk Route, the region has been an important meeting point for merchants from the Middle East, India, and China. The merchants (Marwaris) built palatial Havelis as a tribute to their ancestors and of course, to showcase their opulence. They commissioned artists and paid them lavishly to paint the mansions. The beautiful frescoes of Shekhawati gave the region the title of Open Art Gallery of Rajasthan .

How to get to Shekhawati from Jaipur? The best way to travel between Jaipur and Shekhawati region is by chauffeur-driven car. The region has many towns and villages scattered at a distance. The best towns to witness the gorgeous ancient Havelis or mansions of the region are Nawalgarh , Mandawa , Mahansar , Fatehpur , Dundlod , Mukundgarh , Ramgarh , and Churu .

How to get around Shekhawati? Getting from one town or village to another is only possible by chauffeur-driven vehicle.

Where to stay in Shekhawati? It’s best to stay in Mandawa owing to its central location. Hotel Shekhawati and Mandawa Kothi in Mandawa are highly rated properties.

You just have a day to explore the artistic and vibrant region of Rajasthan so it’s vital to plan your itinerary beforehand. Here’s the itinerary you can follow: Jaipur – Nawalgarh – Dundlod – Mukundgarh – Mandawa

Start early from Jaipur (you can have your breakfast and lunch on the way) and drive all the way to Mandawa while making stopovers at Nawalgarh, Dundlod, and Mukundgarh.

Some of the best sights to witness are Podar Haveli Museum in Nawalgarh; Bhagirath Mal Goenka Haveli in Dundlod; Ganeriwal Haveli, Kanodia Haveli, and Saraf Haveli in Mukundgar and Chokhani Haveli, Goenka Double Haveli, Jhunjhunwala Haveli, Saraf Haveli, and Lakshmi Narayan Ladia Haveli in Mandawa.

You can also choose to join a guided tour of Shekhawati .

After an exhausting day, have a fulfilling traditional dinner at Mandawa Kothi Restaurant or Shekhawati Restaurant .

Day 10: Shekhawati (Mandawa) to Delhi | Fly Back Home

A road trip from Mandawa to Delhi (5 hours) marks the end of your trip to India. You can plan to reach Delhi as per your flight timings or you can reach early and explore some of the places you missed in Delhi before you catch your flight back home.

2 thoughts on “Epic 10 Days in North India Itinerary for the First-Timers”

We will be traveling to north India for 10 days and will be there during Holi this year. Do you have any suggestions on which location(s) would be best for celebrating the festival?

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are doing great.

Holi is celebrated in most parts of India, though north India does it best. The towns of Barsana, Nandgaon, Gokul, Mathura, and Vrindavan in the Braj region of Uttar Pradesh are world-famous for their Holi celebrations. They celebrate Holi on quite a large scale and in their own diverse ways that can go chaotic and messy, especially if you don’t know how to handle it.

Phoolon wali Holi (Flowers’ Holi) at the Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan is beautiful and unique. It takes place for just about 20 minutes at around 4 pm in the evening, a day before Holi. But then again, the temple can get super crowded and you need to practice caution.

Jaipur, Udaipur, and Pushkar in Rajasthan also celebrate Holi in style and are safe for travelers from all around the world to enjoy this colorful Indian festival.

If you are traveling with kids, I’d highly recommend you experience Udaipur Holi. The city is popular among international travelers during Holi. It’s a 2-day grand celebration – Holika Dahan (bonfire) ritual is practiced the night before Holi and the next morning people gather on the streets and play with colors.

In fact, many hotels and resorts in Udaipur offer private Holi celebrations for their international guests that include colors, music, and food.

Hope that helps.

Diljit dosanjh made history by selling out the largest-ever punjabi show outside india during his north american tour, entertaining over 50,000 fans in vancouver with hit songs and special moments like performing bhangra with a young fan..

Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh made history by selling out the "largest ever Punjabi show outside India" during the North American leg of his ‘Dil-Luminati Tour’.

He started the tour on Saturday night at the BC Place stadium in Vancouver, Canada, performing for over 50,000 concert-goers.

Meanwhile, Dosanjh called a six-year-old fan on stage and performed Bhangra during the concert.

As reported by CBC News , Aanakh Bhullar said, “I like his dancing moves. I love him, he is the best singer."

Dosanjh is also seen hugging and kissing the boy on the cheek as the song ends.

In a video, the general manager of BC Place is seen presenting a congratulatory plaque to Diljit Dosanjh, recognizing the "largest ever Punjabi show outside India." According to Canadian media reports, this event marked the first time a Punjabi music superstar headlined a concert at the Vancouver-based arena.

Analysis: these are the north american carriers operating nonstop flights to india.

Three cities are connected to the country’s capital territory.

Over the past year, travel between India and North America has surged, showing a successful recovery from the pandemic that shuttered demand. The East Asian country has become among the top markets for travelers outside of North America, as more than 800,000 Indian travelers came to the US in the first six months of 2023. The trend continued as the US saw around 1.7 million total Indian visitors by the end of the year, making India emerge as the US’s fifth-largest source of tourists, according to the Times of India .

The number exceeded the National Travel and Tourism Office’s forecast of 1.4 million travelers, which was 97% of the pre-pandemic level. The overall statistic also represents an increased economic impact on the US. Skift reported that Indian travelers spent an average of $3,500 per trip, with California, New York, and Texas being ranked as the most visited states. With satisfactory numbers last year, some airlines serving the market have analyzed whether more US cities should have nonstop service to India.

Three airlines, four routes

Currently, there are just three North American-based carriers that fly nonstop to the country, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium :

American Airlines

United airlines, why air india ceo thinks india could have multiple hubs.

With the Big Apple being a popular market and closer destination than that of their West Coast hubs, American and United offer nonstop service from the city’s two area airports. American flies from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) and is utilizing its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft this month. At the same time, United serves DEL from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) with its 787-9 Dreamliner. Unlike its US-based competitors, Air Canada flies nonstop to DEL from two hubs. The carrier is deploying its 787-9 from Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and its 777-200LR from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) this month.

Inside the numbers

While only three airlines offer nonstop flights, plenty of seats are available this month despite the lack of daily frequencies on some routes.

American’s flagship 777-300ER seats 304 passengers in a three-class format. Flagship First has eight lie-flat beds with an impressive seat width of 21.5 inches. In Flagship Business, 52 seats also have lie-flat capability. The width is slightly smaller at 20.5 inches. The main cabin consists of premium economy, main cabin extra, and standard seats.

There are 28 premium economy recliner seats with a pitch of 38 inches and a width of 19 inches. Main cabin extra also has 28 seats, which have a seat pitch of 36 inches, but their width is smaller, ranging between 17.1 and 18.1 inches. The remainder of the main cabin comprises 188 standard seats with a pitch between 31 and 32 inches and a width between 16.2 and 17.1 inches.

All seats are equipped with a seatback screen for inflight entertainment and AC power outlets to keep devices charged. American has a total of 60 flights scheduled between JFK and DEL – 30 each way – representing more than 18,200 total seats offered.

Air Canada is only performing 26 total flights this month between YUL and DEL. At 13 flights in each direction on the 787-9, the carrier is offering nearly 7,750 seats on the route. Its 787-9s are configured to accommodate 298 passengers in a three-class format. In business class, there are 30 individual suites featuring fully lie-flat beds. Premium economy consists of 21 recliner seats with a pitch of 38 inches, a width of 19 inches, and a recline of 7 inches. In standard economy, there are 247 seats with a pitch of 31 inches, a width of 17 inches, and a recline of 5 inches.

AC power ports are available at every seat in business class and premium economy, while they can be found between seats in economy. Passengers can stay entertained with personal touch screens at every seat featuring an interactive moving map with flight information, TV shows, movies, games, and a seat-to-seat-chat amenity.

Between YYZ and DEL, Air Canada will operate 30 flights in each direction this month, totaling 60 flights. Its 777-200LR seats a total of 300 passengers in three classes. Air Canada Signature Class is equipped with 40 individual suites with lie-flat beds, premium economy has 24 recliner seats, and economy class comprises 236 standard seats. The inflight amenities are the same as those featured on the 787-9, except for the seat-to-seat chatting feature. With 60 flights this month, Air Canada has a total of 18,000 seats offered on the route.

United also has 60 flights scheduled between EWR and DEL. With its 787-9, the airline has 7,710 seats scheduled in each direction, totaling more than 15,400 seats on the route this month. Across three classes, the aircraft has a capacity of 257 passengers.

United Polaris business class comprises 48 seats, each featuring six and a half feet of pitch as a sleeping space. There are 21 Premium Plus seats, which are recliner economy seats with 38 inches of pitch, six inches of recline, and 19 inches of width. The economy cabin consists of 39 economy plus seats with extra legroom and 149 standard seats.

Addressing the demand

With demand between India and North America on the rise, American has considered offering more flights to the country. The Fort Worth, Texas-based airline postponed its planned service between Seattle and Bengaluru, telling Simple Flying in December that it had been paused “indefinitely.”

Operating its largest hub at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), the airline could succeed in nonstop flights to India. According to Asian Matters for America , Texas has the second-largest Indian American population in the US, with over 450,000 Indian Americans.
