delhi exploring


It's our first full day in India and we are off to explore more of Delhi. We're starting the day with a walk alongside the Salamm Balak Trust. They are one of the most trusted non-profit organisations for street children in Delhi. We’ll visit their headquarters and learn how the organisation provides children with opportunities and care to help support those living on the streets. You'll see a different side to the city thanks to Salaam Balak Trust. We'll then visit the India Gate and drive past some iconic spots! After stopping for luch we'll visit the Raj Ghat which is a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. After a busy day exploring we'll return to the hotel, have a bit of free time and then it's time to check out some of Delhi's bars.
let's go to jaipur


We're on the road today! We're heading to the heart of Holi - Jaipur! We'll stock up on snacks and jump on the bus, ready for a morning travelling to the capital of Rajasthan. When we arrive, we will have some free time, this is the moment to explore the markets and grab some souvenirs (Jaipur is a great place for local textiles and bags!) In the evening, we will visit a local family for a traditional cooking class. We'll slice and dice whilst learning about all their spices and methods for creating the iconcic dishes. The best bit - we'll get to taste our creations on a rooftop with a beer or two...dreamy!
it's party time!!!


Are you ready to paint the town red, or green, or blue? After breakfast at the hotel, we'll head out to join the Holi festival celebrations. Today is all about throwing ourselves into the fun. The vibes will be 10/10, the paint will be everywhere, and the photos will be incredible. This is a bucket-list experience and a day we'll never ever forget!
seeing the sights of jaipur


It's our final full day on tour in India...we're not crying, you are! This morning we'll visit the Amber Fort. This palace is located just outside of Jaipur, and it is one of the most popular attractions in this part of India and it is a super cool example of traditional architecture! After lunch, we'll explore the City Palace, another must-visit whilst we are here. We'll also swing by the Hawa Mahal for an iconic photo - cause have you even been to Jaipur if you don't have a photo here. In the late afternoon theres some free time, so whether you have some last minute bits to by for your mates back home or you fancy finding a nearby rooftop bar for a farewell drink, this is your chance!
checkout day!


It's time to say goodbye...we've celebrated Holi and the end of winter in the most incredible way! We still have paint in our ears, and we're all taking home memories to last a lifetime. From dancing the night away to exploring the highlights of India in 6 epic days, this tour has really been something special.
