Fatehpur Sikri is one of the most impressive sights on earth, if only because the builder, Akbar the Great, housed 1,000 concubines there. Northern India is full of remarkable majesty; The Taj Mahal, The Red Fort and Amber Palace, to name but three. Many of the gems are less well known, like the magnificent palaces at Gwalior or Orchha. You’ll see these, the tourists don’t. For the wildlife lover this trip offers the chance of elephant safaris in Chitwan Nat. Park, migratory birds in Bharatpur and a safari at Panna Nat. Park in search of tigers.
Operating our own fully equipped vehicles with two western crew members allows you secure hassle free travel. You will travel in a comfortable well maintained, safely driven expedition vehicle that will take you from A to B with a minimum of fuss. Our vehicles are fully lockable and have safes for added security. This trip provides a secure way to explore an unfamiliar world.
Most people will be aged in their twenties or thirties, but we do have a number of older participants. Our groups are international and they come from all walks of life. The mix of sexes is usually even, some come as couples but most are individuals. Some come as seasoned travellers, others are just starting out. But what they all share is a love of adventure and discovery.
