Illustration of North India Group Tour

Euroventure's North India Group Tour is a 14-day journey from Delhi to Mumbai, designed for travellers seeking a balance of structure and discovery. The route threads through seven major cities and regions across North India, using three night trains to connect key stops: Delhi to Varanasi, Varanasi to Agra, and Jaipur to Jaisalmer. The remaining segments are by coach and flight. Bilingual tour leaders guide the group through temples, forts, and markets, and orchestrate experiences like the Ganga Aarti ceremony at sunset in Varanasi, a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra, and a two-day desert camping adventure with camel rides in Jaisalmer. Accommodation is in hostels and one desert camp. Selected meals and local transport are provided; optional activities and international flights cost extra. The pace is fast, with most nights in different cities. This tour suits first-time rail travellers who want the security of group logistics, history enthusiasts keen on UNESCO sites and ancient temples, and budget-conscious explorers willing to stay in shared accommodation.
