Reality Check
The roads are generally pretty good, but local traffic and/or road damage after the monsoon can sometimes slow us down.
The tour is not overly demanding, but some of the days can be busy, where travelling is combined with sightseeing. At times it can be quite hot and dusty (except December) and the bustle of the Indian cities can be tiring.
Together with our local operator we have put together a pictorial quiz featuring many of the historical sites this trip visits. This will be given to children on the trip and is terrific fun as well as being somewhat educational in content.
Normal group size and age
Normally 6 to 18 plus leader and driver. Minimum age 5.
Trivia
The Taj Mahal, built out of white marble, took over 20 years to construct and 1,000 elephants were used! The four majestic minarets that surround the mausoleum are tilted slightly in order that they fall outwards in the event of an earthquake.
