Itinerary
Day 1 : Welcome To India!
Location: New Delhi
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Double/Twin Rooms The Florence Inn (or similar)
Meals Included: Dinner
Welcome to India, a country that requires little introduction. This vast subcontinent is a tapestry of unrivaled cultures, offering phenomenal cuisine, warm hospitality, remarkable diversity, and immersive architecture shaped by religion, pride, patriotism, and history.
Arrive throughout the day, get an airport transfer and meet your group leader at your hotel in the heart of New Delhi. Tonight, you’ll venture out as a group for your welcome dinner and your first chance to sample that famous Indian cuisine.
Day 2 : Explore New & Old Delhi And Street Food
Location: Lotus Temple
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Double/Twin Rooms The Florence Inn (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
After breakfast, you'll head out with your local guide through the streets of Delhi and get your first real introduction to Indian life. The first stop is a beautiful Sikh Temple, where your local legend will educate you on this important religion and culture. Next, step into the huge community kitchen, where Sikhs provide free meals to residents of the city, every day. Watch how thousands of chapatis are made and stir the giant curry pots yourself.
After lunch, you'll visit the illustrious Lotus Temple and wander through the gardens. You'll head inside the Temple for a moment of silence and reflect on your reasons for visiting this great country.
In the evening, you will be transferred to Old Delhi, a chaotic city lost in time. Your guide will educate the group on the area and fill your bellies with Indian sweets and snacks. You will then be taken by rickshaws (similar to Tuk-Tuks) through Chandni Chowk to Mutton Street. Chandni Chowk, known as the "Moonlit Market," is a bustling hub of vibrant bazaars, eclectic stalls, and historic shrines, embodying the essence of Old Delhi's dynamic lifestyle. During the tour, you'll enjoy some of the most delicious skewers and Islamic food available.
Day 3 : Sunset At The Taj Mahal
Location: Taj Mahal, New Delhi
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Double/Twin Rooms Maple Grand (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
After breakfast, you'll transfer to Agra by train and check into your hotel. In the afternoon you will take Tuk Tuks to a quiet garden south of the Taj Mahal to view this magnificent structure away from the crowds at sunset. This serene setting offers a much quieter and unique way to appreciate this spectacular building.
Tomorrow, you'll head inside, but today is all about enjoying the beauty that this monument has to offer. You'll grab dinner in the evening and get an early night as we are up for sunrise tomorrow.
Day 4 : Sunrise At The Taj Mahal The On To The Pink City - Jaipur
Location: Pink City
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Double/Twin Rooms Surya Villa (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
It's an early start today as you wake up at the crack of dawn to head to the Taj Mahal to beat the crowds and experience it in almost perfect silence. Your new local guide will show you the best spots to see the building, where Princess Diana took that famous shot and of course the fascinating story of romance behind one of the world’s most recognisable buildings. As you head inside, learn all the secrets that most people don’t know about what makes the Taj Mahal so special. Afterwards, you'll head back to the hotel for breakfast and then take a bus to Jaipur.
Jaipur, also known as the pink city, is truly a feast for the eyes. The stunning palaces, majestic forts, and lush royal gardens showcase the grandeur of this 18th-century city. The pastel pink heritage buildings are set against vibrant bazaars. The local food is equally colorful with unique flavors. The locals' colorful outfits, unique jewelry, and love for folk songs and dances make this Pink City a treasure of Rajasthani culture.
This evening, watch a Bollywood movie the way the director intended it to be watched, in one of the grandest theatres in the world.
Day 5 : Explore Jaipur
Location: Monkey Temple
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Double/Twin Rooms Surya Villa (or similar)
Meals Included: Breakfast
After breakfast in the hotel, your guide will take you on an orientation walk of the old town. You'll visit the local market, understand the origins of the “Pink City,” meet some locals and market traders and learn all about the spices that are synonymous with Indian cooking. You'll also view the excellent Palace of the Winds - Jaipur's signature palace made of red and pink sandstone.
Next, jump in some Tuk Tuks to visit Galta-Ji, also known as the Monkey Temple. This temple, built into the hills, is home to hundreds of grey long-tailed Asian monkeys. You will have the rest of the day free to explore the other sites of Jaipur.
Day 6 : Goodbye India!

Check out our Q&As
-
What is the rooming situation like?
Accommodation on this tour you will be in hotels in double/twin share rooms. Single upgrade is available.
-
What is the age range of the tour?
We have an age range of 18 – 45 years old for our tours. Most of our guests are aged between 21-35 years old, though this range varies to slightly older with certain destinations, and are looking to experience our adventurous “flashpacking” style of travel. Our tours are perfect for people of all different backgrounds to share travel experiences with like-minded conscious fellow travellers.
-
Can you help with my onward travel? What are the connections like to travel around India?
Your guide will aid you with any onward travel you might be planning. India is extremely well-connected domestically, with loads of domestic flights and trains available. However, if travelling in high season (December – March), then it is advisable to book this as early as possible because things can sell out very quickly. You can pre-book your return train to New Delhi with us before your trip for $39AUD
-
Is India safe to travel?
Like all countries, appropriate caution is required as a traveller to keep yourself and your belongings safe. Provided you exercise the same caution you would in any other country and remain with the group it is perfectly safe to travel.
-
Will I be picked up from the airport?
Yes, if you arrive on Day 1 of the tour or if you book a prenight’s stay with us, you will have an airport pickup included with your tour. If you’re arriving earlier, please get in touch with us and we can help you arrange your pickup seperately.
-
How does this Snapshot tour relate to your 14-day India tour?
Our India Snapshot Tour is a 6-day itinerary that captures the essence of India. It is designed as the introductory segment of our 14-day India tour. This means that during the India Snapshot Tour, you'll explore alongside guests who may be continuing on to other destinations in India after your tour ends. The modular structure allows for a seamless and cohesive travel experience, whether you're with us for just 6 days or the entire journey.
-
Can I bring a 20kg suitcase on this trip?
We wouldn't recommend bringing more than 15-20kg as we strictly use public transport and it will be much more comfortable for you to carry less.
-
Where do we spend the first night on tour?
The Florence Inn Hotel, New Delhi*
-
Is there safe drinking water in India?
Tap water in India is unfit for consumption, but each of our accommodations that we stay in provide bottled water in the rooms and it will be available to purchase. When buying bottled water you should always make sure it is sealed before opening.
-
How much spending money do I need for this tour?
Spending varies from person to person & you'll receive a spending guide in your welcome pack, but $30-40 AUD per day is plenty on average. You can withdraw from ATMs at various points throughout the tour. Tipping is not compulsory, but is very much so expected in India. There is a culture of tipping around 10% of the bill for hotels and restaurants. We usually find it easier if your group leader says how much the tip should be and everyone can pitch in together to form a kitty which will cover you for any hotels or restaurants we visit on tour together.
-
Is there WiFi throughout the trip?
WiFi is available at all accommodations during the trip, but it’s not reliable and we would recommend picking up a local SIM card on arrival if you need to be online.
-
Where should I fly into?
New Delhi International Airport (DEL).
-
Can you cater for my dietary requirements?
Yes, we can cater for most dietary requirements & India is a haven for vegetarians and vegans. Please notify us prior to arriving on day 1 so we can arrange this for you.

Do I have to have travel insurance to come on a tour?
