In this tour we take you to the Gangetic plains
of north India, the temples and fortresses of the Chandela dynasty
and one of India's foremost game reserves are the main attractions
of this wide ranging tour of Northern India.
The holy city of Varanasi, the historical
city of Lucknow, the extraordinary temples at Khajuraho with their
erotic carvings, the excitement of a possible tiger sighting at
Bandhavgarh National Park and the deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri,
have been combined to provide an insight into the enormous diversity
of India, its scenery and its culture. No two places on this unusual
tour are alike but together they span many centuries of Indian history
and the backdrop to many events like the Indian Mutiny, the birth
of Buddhism and the Mughal domination of the country.
In Khajuraho see the magnificent temples, which are among the most
creative examples of Indian architecture, built between 950 and
1050 AD.The Khajuraho temples are famous not only for their symmetry
and design but also for intricate and erotic carvings on their walls.
