River Cruises: What Are the Top Destinations in India?
India is a profound assault on the senses, offering an incredibly diverse landscape of vibrant cultures, deeply rooted spiritual traditions, and architectural marvels. Marvel at the timeless romance of the Taj Mahal in Agra, explore the majestic desert forts and pink palaces of Rajasthan, or find tranquility along the serene, palm-fringed backwaters of Kerala. From the chaotic, energetic streets of Mumbai and Delhi to the spiritual ghats of Varanasi along the sacred River Ganges and the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas, India is a land of contrasts. Its unparalleled cultural tapestry is woven together by magnificent festivals, historic heritage sites, and a world-famous, spice-rich culinary heritage.
Below are our most visited cities, destinations and national parks in India.
Jaipur
Jaipur is capital of Rajasthan. It takes it's nickname, the Pink City, from pink colored buildings incl. Wind Palace. Nearby is the beautiful Amer/Amber fort/palace, that you could enter on the back of an elephant... Delhi, Agra and Jaipur together form the "Golden Triangle".
Kolkata
Kolkata (Calcutta) is one of the three gigantic cities in India. It is probably the poorest, where riksjas can still be on foot. Mother Theresa lived three for many years to care for a needy population.
New Delhi
New Delhi is the capital of India and one of the largest cities in the world. The old city is quite picturesque - as is most of India. Unfortunately Delhi is also the most polluted city in the world and not a safe place for women alone at night...
Taj Mahal
Agra is world-famous for one of the most beautiful buildings in the world: the Taj Mahal. The completely symmetrical Mausoleum is made of white marble with lots and lots of precious stones built in. If in Agra, don´t forget to visit the red fort as well... Or dine on a roof...
Varanasi
Varanasi (aka. Benares) is one of the oldest living cities in the world! The city is very much alive and the center of the Hindu religion. People come here to pray, to wash in the river Ganges and to get cremated. For tourists this city is a highlight of any visit to India, but please show respect.
