North India brings together some of the subcontinent’s most powerful sights: the Mughal-era monuments of Delhi and Agra, the sacred ghats of Varanasi on the Ganges, and the desert kingdoms of Rajasthan. It’s where most first-time visitors to India begin their journey — and where many experienced travelers still find something new. Far Destinations Tours has been designing custom North India itineraries since 2004, combining these regions into a single seamless trip shaped around your interests.
