✈️ UK to Delhi (1 night): You’ll be met at the airport in Delhi and escorted to your hotel… and then, your sightseeing can begin! There’s so much to see and do in this mesmerising capital, with highlights including the Bangla Sahib Gurudwara, Laxminarayan Temple, and Jhandewala Temple, the serenity of Akshardhaam Temple and the qawwali at Nizamuddin Chishti’s Dargah (a musical performance featuring devotional Sufi songs, known as qawwalis).
🚂 Delhi to Amritsar (2 nights): Next, you’ll take a train from Delhi to Amritsar, the city of the Golden Temple. Your two-night stay here includes a half day tour of the city, allowing you to explore the sacred Golden Temple and the Durgiana Temple. You can witness the daily ceremonies, taste kadha Prasad (a sacred offering in the Sikh tradition), and pay respects at Lal Mata Mandir, famous for its sacred pujas (a Hindu worship ritual).
🚗 Amritsar to McLeod Ganj (2 nights): For your next destination, you’ll be driven to McLeod Ganj, the home of the Dalai Lama. En route, you’ll enjoy the scenic drive as you’re escorted to this charming town nestled in the Himalayas. On arrival in McLeod Ganj you’ll have the opportunity to explore the Dalai Lama Temple, the ancient Shiva Temple, and the town’s vibrant local markets. Also discover the Kangra State Museum and Norbulingka Institute.
🚗 McLeod Ganj to Chandigarh (1 night): Your 8-hour drive will take you on a picturesque route as you descend from the Himalayan region of McLeod Ganj and to the plains where Chandigarh is located. Chandigarh is known as the City of Gardens, and here you can visit the Rock Garden, Rose Garden, Pinjore Garden, and take in the city’s wonderful architecture that creates a wonderful balance between concrete structures and natural beauty.
🚗 Chandigarh to Rishikesh (2 nights) You’ll continue your journey on land and head to Rishikesh, situated along the banks of the Ganges river, and often referred to as the ‘Yoga Capital of the World’ where you can soak up the city’s spiritual atmosphere. Here, some of the highlights include observing the Sandhya Aarti (a Hindu ritual of worship), exploring the ghats and walking on the iconic Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula bridges that carry deep historical and cultural significance in the context of Hindu mythology.
🚗 Rishikesh to Delhi (1 night): You’ll travel back to Delhi by car, where you can relax in your hotel or squeeze in some extra sightseeing before taking a final overnight rest.

Very happy with the services provided so far, and I am particularly pleased with how our travel agent Emily was able to not only set up a great initial plan for our Japan holiday, but she also was very quick and super polite when it came to amending our itinerary to our specifications, as well as the transparency in terms of the details of our trip and the associated costs. I am very excited to embark on the upcoming journey!

My 2nd time booking with eShores. Excellent customer service working with one agent to create a personalised, bespoke holiday. My arrangements changed part-way through so a number of quotes were needed. Nick was patient, helpful and responded quickly (by email and phone) throughout. Well recommended.

I sent eShores an email asking them to tailor a holiday to Italy for me. This is a surprise for my husbands 70th birthday. Therefore we could only liaise via email. Leanne got onto it straight away and sent me all the necessary information. I phined her the following day when my husband was out. She explained everything to me. I was so grateful as this took the stress off of me.

Fantastic service from Lynette from start to finish. Went to Australia this year and Lynette sorted everything out for us, even when we had a small emergency, when in Perth, she answered our concerns straight away and looked into it and advised us what to do. We had such a great time we're off to America next year and Lynette has sorted us again, hoping this time that everything goes according to plan!!!!
