Delhi, Agra & Varanasi, India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Delhi, Agra, and Varanasi form one of India's most iconic travel corridors, spanning the heart of the country's historic north. Delhi, the capital, blends Mughal-era monuments like the Red Fort and Jama Masjid with a buzzing modern metropolis. Agra is home to the Taj Mahal — one of the world's most recognised UNESCO World Heritage Sites — along with Agra Fort and the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri. Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, draws travellers for its ancient ghats along the Ganges, Hindu cremation rituals, and deeply spiritual atmosphere.

Self-Launched Delhi, Agra & Varanasi by Indian Railway

India's Golden Triangle meets the spiritual heartland — all by train, all on your own terms. This self-launched version covers the same iconic stops as the Taj Voyages Tours itinerary: the Taj Mahal and Red Fort in Agra, then the sacred ghats, temples and Ganga Aarti of Varanasi. Instead of a private guided vehicle, you'll ride India's legendary railway network, bunk in characterful budget guesthouses, and navigate these incredible cities independently. All sights are walkable or reachable by tuk-tuk. Estimated cost is roughly £65–80 per person — a fraction of the £165 guided price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Delhi, Agra & Varanasi, India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
