Peregrine Adventures

Mountains, Forts & the Taj (13 Days)

We begin our travels in the hustle and bustle of colourful Kathmandu before taking a spectacular flight alongside the Himalayan range to the lakeside town of Pokhara. After exploring the area and taking a trip to Sarangkot to view the sunrise over the Annapurna mountains, we continue with an exciting safari at Royal Chitwan National Park in southern Nepal, where we ride on elephant back in search of rhino and tiger. We then fly to the Indian capital, New Delhi, and head to the magnificent Taj Mahal and the famous Agra Fort. The beauty of the Mughal architecture in Rajasthan is showcased at our next stop, Jaipur. Exploring the ‘Pink City’ we immerse ourselves in bustling and colourful local markets and discover the famous Palace of the Winds as well as the impressive Amber Fort. The final leg of our journey takes us back to New Delhi, where we end our amazing adventure.
