Fall in Love with India: The Golden Triangle & Shimla
Journey through India’s Golden Triangle and Shimla on a small group adventure and experience the kind of trip that stays with you long after you return home. It’s rich, colourful and deeply moving – a wonderful blend of iconic sights, everyday life and moments of calm you don’t expect.
As an adventure travel specialist, there is nothing better than combining an amazing overland experience on a small group tour with some tailored pre or post tour fun. From adding in a stopover over to some 'me' time after meeting some new like minded travel bussies, this is a great way to get the most out of your time away,
Begin in Delhi, where old and new sit side by side. Feel the energy as you weave through lively streets by rickshaw, hear the call to prayer echo across the city and enjoy your first taste of Indian hospitality over a traditional welcome dinner.
In Agra, experience one of the world’s most powerful sights as the Taj Mahal reveals itself at sunrise. Later, watch the light fade behind its marble domes from peaceful riverside gardens – a moment of pure magic.
Jaipur, the Pink City, adds colour and character to the journey. Explore grand forts and palaces, browse bustling bazaars and soak up the warmth and pride of Rajasthan’s culture.
Then, just when you think India can’t surprise you any further, the scenery changes completely. Board the Shimla Toy Train and wind your way into the Himalayan foothills, where pine forests, mountain views and colonial-era charm offer a gentler pace. Here, days are perfect for scenic walks, relaxed afternoons and simply breathing it all in.
This is India at its most rewarding – immersive but comfortable, vibrant yet balanced. If you’ve been dreaming of discovering India in a meaningful, beautifully curated way, this journey is a truly special place to start.
