Delhi Exploration

The morning light finds you ready to step into the layered complexity of Delhi, a fitting overture to your Rajasthan Tour India. Begin with Qutub Minar, a soaring monument of stone that speaks of empires long vanished yet stubbornly present in its shadow. From there, the calm geometry of the Lotus Temple offers a pause. This monument is a modern marvel that folds itself into serenity, inviting contemplation amid the city’s perpetual motion.

Next comes Humayun’s Tomb, where gardens and domes conspire to conjure the Mughal vision of eternity. By afternoon, Delhi’s pulse quickens. Old Delhi beckons with its chaos, its smells, colors, and clamor, best experienced from a rickshaw weaving through Chandni Chowk. Spices hang thick in the air, silver shops glint in narrow lanes, and food stalls tempt with exotic flavors. Life here is immediate, raw, and unforgettable. As dusk falls, return to your hotel, carrying with you the first vivid impressions of a land that is both history and living narrative, on the cusp of your Rajasthan Tour in India.

Highly recommended

We got so incredibly lucky finding this agency, which helped us picking out the perfect Himalayan trek according to our desires. We ended up doing the Manaslu circuit trek around late November and absolutely loved it.

Great tour operator DMC for Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan

I prefer to hire a tour operator who lives in the area I am visiting, who has the knowledge of what makes a unique itinerary, who personally knows the guides, who has experience with the nuances of hotel stays…

Reliable, Professional, and Personalized. My Go-To Agency for Nepal Treks

High Asia Tours is a very professional travel agency based in Kathmandu. Had been with them 2 times, going to Annapurna and recently Solokhumbu. From the very first inquiry by email, all information, details, planning, prices and requirements are clear and process goes smooth.
