Arriving in Delhi where the old and new cities offer a colorful collection of fortresses, temples and markets, head off into the Rajasthan to discover the glories of Mughal Empire.  Great builders, the Mughal Emperors left a legacy of imaginative designs that grace the city of Jaipur and culminate in the world-famous majesty of the Taj Mahal in Agra. Then marvel at the erotic, Tantric carvings in the Khajuraho Temples before experiencing the power of great belief as you watch the faithful bath at dawn in the Ganges River in Varanasi.

In Nepal with Kathmandu as your base, you will spend several days being exposed to the magical atmosphere of this Himalayan nation.  Here there are great temples dedicated to Buddha as well as too many important Hindu gods.  Whether watching a cremation on the banks of the Bagmati River, wandering through the palace complexes in Pathan or just admiring the wonderful mountain views glimpsed between the buildings on Kathmandu’s narrow, winding streets, this is a tour that will evoke powerful memories.
