Live like a maharaja on travels from northern India to its southern tip, while taking in cultural treasures and staying in lavish palace hotels. A two-night stay in luxurious accommodations with views of the spectacular Taj Mahal is but one of many highlights on Tauck's India travel experience. Explore Old Delhi aboard a rickshaw through back streets and bazaars, view the temples of Khajuraho, and cruise by houseboat through Kerala's canals. Unique India travel experiences include a sunrise boat ride on the Ganges River to witness spiritual rituals, a traditional dinner in the home of a Kerala chef and an unforgettable holistic martial arts demonstration.
