Itinerary
Day 1: Delhi
Arrive at any time. Arrival transfer is included through the G Adventures-supported Women With Wheels project.
Day 2: Delhi/Āgra
Enjoy a youth-led walk through the backstreets of Delhi with G Adventures-supported project, City Walk. Observe a different perspective of Delhi while supporting at-risk youth in the community. Later, explore Old Delhi and travel onward to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal.
Day 3: Āgra
Set eyes on the sparkling Taj Mahal at sunrise before exploring more of this famous landmark. In the afternoon, visit the I'timad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) and the Agra Fort.
Day 4: Āgra/Dhula Village
Stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the now-deserted former capital of the Mughals, and a stunningly preserved UNESCO site. Visit the Abhaneri Stepwell and marvel at this uniquely Indian water harvesting system. In the afternoon, travel to Dhula Village and get a closer look at rural life in Rajasthan. Tonight, settle in to your cozy tent then opt to relax by the fire and take in the starry night sky.
At Dhula Village you will have the opportunity to learn about local life, play a fun game of cricket, relax in the peaceful atmosphere, or take a cycle to explore the surroundings.
Tonight's accommodation is in spacious and comfortable tents outfitted with beds, lamps, and simple en suite bathrooms.
Day 5: Dhula Village/Jaipur
Continue to the pink city of Jaipur. Along the way, try your hand at block printing with the women of the Anoothi Project before arriving at your hotel. Built according to Hindu architectural principles, Jaipur utilizes a unique organization unlike anywhere else in India.
Day 6: Jaipur
Enjoy a visit to the Amber Fort, famous for its mixture of Hindu and Muslim architecture. After, visit the City Palace and have a photo opportunity at Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds).
Opt to get active by pre-booking a cycle tour or sharpen your culinary skills by pre-booking a cooking class with a local family.

If you aren't afraid of heights, opt for a morning hot air balloon ride over Jaipur. Return to Delhi in the afternoon and enjoy free time to explore more of the bustling city.

The tours cover big highlights or 'must sees' in a country while also providing a more intimate look at local culture. The cost of the tours and what you get for the tour is well worth it.

This trip was indescribable! Breathtaking and incredible! Manny (the CEO) made sure that our experience was over the top. He was professional and personable. We saw so much beauty, pain and life in the beautiful country of India. The most impactful moments of the trip were nothing that we could have experienced without G Adventures and Manny leading the way. We were able to go into the homes of families, find peace at the Sikh Temple and learn about the homeless children. This experience changed us. We cannot say enough about the tour and especially Manny. We felt safe and cared for. He did so many little (and big) things to make sure that we had the best experience possible.

I have some family and friends who would not be comfortable with the low-end accommodations, which are lower in quality than the website descriptions suggest.

I found G Adventures very professional and thorough, which helped me feel safe about doing the tour. Additionally, I liked the aspect of giving back to the community. At the actual tour, our CEO Manvendra was absolutely fantastic, I always felt like things were under control.

The tour was fantastic, as was our guide, if all guides were the same I'd give a 10 but as this is unknown I've scored as I did.
