India Highlights

India Highlights

Video highlights of my tour around Northern India.

In January 2008 I went to India to attend my friend Raghav's traditional Indian wedding. I then joined Intrepid Travels "Slowly down the Ganges" tour which took me to all the major sites of Northern India and Rajasthan.

Some of the places I visited on the tour included Jama Masjid Mosque, A Sikh Temple, Connaught Place, Karol Bagh and the Red fort in Delhi. Mizapur before boarding our boats and sailing three days down the river Ganges camping on its banks at night.

We spent a further three days in in the holy city of Varanasi watching all the religious ceremonies on the banks before getting an overnight train to Agra were we saw the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort as well as a carpet factory.

In Jaipur we visited the observatory, Wind Palace and City Palace as well as the Amber Fort and Water Palace and a charity organisation called Ladli that looks after homeless children.

We then took a bus and jeep ride to get to Roopangarh Fort were we lived like Maharajas for a night. We then went to Pushkar were we went on a two day camel safari into the desert as well as getting blessed at the holy lake.
