    Is it possible to add a day trip to bodh gaya (Mahabodhi Temple) to this tour? If not, does your company offer tours visiting these 5 places: New Dehli, Jaipur, Agra, Veranasi, Bodh Gaya

      The tour package only covers the destinations and activities mentioned in the itinerary, and we are unable to other destinations outside of the set program. If you would like to visit Bodh Gaya, you would need to arrange this separately, either before the tour starts or after it concludes.

    Kylie

    Asked on January 15th, 2025

    We are interested in the Tour 'Indian Getaway', but we are not sure if in Varanasi, we will attend an avening ceremony at the Ganges? Can you give me more detailled information about the programma in Varanasi please?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      In Varanasi, the itinerary includes a guided walking tour of the Old City and a sunrise boat ride on the Ganges, where you will witness various religious rituals along the riverbanks. However, the evening Ganges Aarti ceremony is not specifically included in the program. That said, the Aarti ceremony, held every evening at the Ghats, is a popular experience in Varanasi. If you are interested in attending, your tour leader can assist in arranging an optional visit during your free time, as this ceremony is a significant part of the local spiritual life.

      Can we upgrade the train class and hotel and pay more?

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten December 2024

      Upgrades are not always possible. We would prefer everyone in the group to stay together especially at our pre-selected accommodations. As for the train, upgrades are not something that we can pre-book and would have to be done in destination if there is availbility.
