Unforgettable experiences
What’s included
Itinerary
Our incredible holiday gets under way as we meet our fellow travellers and Tour Manager at London Heathrow this morning ready for our flight to India, changing in Doha, Qatar.
Our destination, Amritsar, is the centre of the Sikh religion, and it is believed the city was founded by Ram Das, the fourth Sikh guru, in the 16th century. Located in Punjab in the far northwest of India, between Pakistan and the Himalayan foothills, this is the ideal place to begin our exploration of India and Nepal. Brimming with spirituality, the vibrant city of Amritsar provides a great introduction to this mystical region as we embark on a discovery of India's ancient temples and sacred sites.

Excellent tour - fast paced with a wonderful variety of places and experiences, from bustling cities to safari. Excellent hotels and tour guides. Do not expect to unpack your suitcases at each hotel - just enjoy the ride!

Fantastic Trip, with Iconic stops. Early starts as full itinerary. Great Local Guides. Great Leader in Alan Smith. A few very long coach journeys. Require reasonable level of fitness for the walking.

Too much travelling. Too many interpretations can be made on GRJs descriptions in their brochure and itinerary. A few bit of wrong information. Chitwan safari was poor, but some other sights were excellent. 10 hour coach journey on the day before our flight home over the worst roads that could be imaged. Not a holiday.
