2 (rating definition)
This trip travels to a relatively conservative area. We encourage you to experience the destination and culture with the following in mind:
Accommodation - We do not foresee any problems, however there may be occasions when a same sex couple may be asked to sleep in single beds rather than sharing a double. We appreciate your cooperation.
Public Display of affection - These are frowned upon in this region among all travellers, not just those on an OUT Adventure. This includes holding hands in public.
Gay Activities - This trip may not have specific gay hosted events, meals or day tours due to the cultural sensitivity of this region. We will do our best to provide a safe, comfortable environment for you and your fellow travellers to experience this culture.

Join locals on their modern metro system and travel out to see India's largest mosque. Wander the Rajpath for a taste of British India and explore the timeless bazaars of Old Delhi.
Explore the hilltop Amber Fort before visiting the ornate and magical Hawa Mahal - it's sublime at sunset. End the day with a flamboyant Bollywood blockbuster experience.
Described as a 'teardrop on the face of eternity', the story behind the gleaming Taj Mahal is as tragic as it is beautiful. Visit the enormous Red Fort, which lords itself over the city from high on the banks of the Yamuna River.
Situated on the clean banks of the Betwa River, charming Orchha is the perfect spot to learn the art of Indian cooking at a culinary class. Season permitting, a puja ceremony offers an incredible experience.
Tucked away in the remote plains of central India, Khajuraho's temples depict epic battles, Hindu legends and the full Kama Sutra on their delicately carved exteriors. Explore the temples and enjoy an evening performance of traditional dance.
One of India's most sacred cities, fascinating Varanasi is awash with temples and shrines. Witness devotions of faith along the banks of the Ganges and experience the magic of a sunset candle flower ceremony.
Haggle with locals in Varanasi's colourful bazaars before a final flight to the capital. Back in Delhi, perhaps unwind in the grounds surrounding Humayan's Tomb.

Trip Map
Most of our trips require a compulsory local payment, which is part of the contract with you (the customer) and OUT Adventures. This amount is the final payment for your trip and is to be paid in the specified currency, in cash to your leader upon arrival. The local payment is non-refundable, and is considered part of the total trip payment.
It is expensive to transfer funds to many countries - so by making a Local Payment you help us keep your costs low.
The Local Payment is used for paying for local services such as hotels and transport.
No, as the money is used to pay for local services these cannot be paid elsewhere.
