India (Rajasthan, Varanasi & Amritsar)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

India is a vast and culturally rich country in South Asia, and its northern heartland draws travellers seeking history, spirituality, and striking architecture. Rajasthan captivates with its desert landscapes, majestic forts, and opulent palaces in cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur. Varanasi, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, sits on the banks of the Ganges and is considered Hinduism's holiest site, renowned for its ghats, cremation rituals, and deeply spiritual atmosphere. Amritsar, in Punjab, is home to the iconic Golden Temple — the spiritual and cultural centre of Sikhism — and the moving Wagah Border ceremony with Pakistan.

Rajasthan, Varanasi & Amritsar — Self-Launched 18-Day India Circuit

An independent version of Real viaggi india's 18-day Delhi–Rajasthan–Varanasi–Amritsar group tour, rebuilt for solo travellers using trains, buses and shared autos instead of a private coach, and hostels/guesthouses/heritage havelis instead of 4-star hotels. You cover the same ground — Delhi's old city, the painted havelis of Shekhawati, Bikaner's Junagarh Fort, a Jaisalmer desert night, Jodhpur's blue lanes and Mehrangarh, Ranakpur's marble Jain temples, Udaipur's lakes, Jaipur's forts, the Taj Mahal at sunrise, Varanasi's ghats and Ganga Aarti, and Amritsar's Golden Temple — for roughly a third of the group tour price. Costs are approximate, based on current backpacker rates and mid-range Indian trains; book trains early on IRCTC (they sell out weeks ahead).

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for India (Rajasthan, Varanasi & Amritsar) 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."
