Moghul Highlights
shorter version of our 'North India Experience' tour Northern India is awash with the legacies left behind by the glorious Moghul (Mughal) Empire, from mosques and forts to mausoleums and magnificent royal gardens. This short option of our 'North India Experience' tour provides for an ideal introduction to an area known as India's 'Golden Triangle'. From the capital, Delhi, to outpost Rajasthani trading towns, the influences from this bygone era can be seen everywhere. Delhi, Jaipur and Agra form the actual 'Golden Triangle', but we also go off-the-beaten-track and stay in an old haveli, a village of ‘mud huts’ and the palace of a maharaja. We get a taste of nature with a visit to the bird sanctuary at Bharatpur and a wildlife safari in Ranthambore National Park, before we end up at the piece de resistance - the Taj Mahal.
