We have been on an amazing trip through India's rich history and culture. We have seen the lively streets of Delhi, the amazing buildings in Agra, the royal grandeur of Jaipur, and the spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi. Every day was full of amazing things to see, like the holy ceremonies on the Ganges ghats and the Taj Mahal's grandeur.
This plan gave us a taste of India's history and customs and gave us time to explore on our own, take long walks, and have unforgettable experiences. From the busy shops of Old Delhi to the peaceful boat rides on the Ganges, every moment was one to remember.
