Physical Rating You are required to carry your pack on and off trains and buses, up hotel steps, etc. Your itinerary may include easy paced walks or bike rides, but these are on mainly flat ground.
 

Culture Shock Rating The trip includes a range of accommodation, such as basic hotels with western facilities or overnight trains. Days of being on the move are well interspersed, communication with the outside world is ever-present and a wide variety of food is commonly available.
 

Gay Rating 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.

Day 1 DelhiHome to millions and a hive of activity, Delhi can assault the senses and invade the soul. Gently slip into the chaos with a tour of the New City, a spacious area of wide roads, shaded parks and swanky restaurants. Discover a range of impressive buildings including President's House, Qutb Minar and India Gate.
 

Days 2-3 AgraExplore the narrow lanes and ancient bazaars of Old Delhi. Grab a rickshaw to escape momentarily the jostle of daily life and visit the famous Red Fort and the stunning Jama Masjid mosque. In the afternoon, continue on to Agra. See the Taj Mahal at its best, at sunrise, when there are fewer people around and the light is low and golden. Discover the wonders of Agra Fort and spend free time among locals in the markets or relaxing by the pool.
 

Days 4-5 JaipurVisit the city of Fatehpur Sikri, built in the 16th century by Emperor Akbar and abandoned only 15 years later due to water shortages. This beautiful ghost town has excellent examples of Persian and Hindu design. In the colourful city of Jaipur, see the Amber Fort and City Palace and look out over the thronging streets from the secretive windows of Hawa Mahal.
 

Days 6-7 DelhiDrop into Samode, a small village famous for its ornate havelis and forts - an optional excursion to Samode Palace is highly recommended. End this stylish tour in Delhi with some last minute shopping.
