Sightseeing

We visit the Sikh Golden Temple in Amritsar, situated in the rural state of The Punjab. In Delhi, there is so much to see. Imperial New Delhi with its impressive government buildings and tree lined avenues, contrasts greatly with Old Delhi which bears the evidence of former empires, British era mansions and the Red Fort. We also visit Jaipur in Rajasthan, home to the Amber Fort with its ornate architectural design. Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh is home to the India’s most famous landmark – The Taj Mahal.
