Day 1 Arrival Delhi
You arrive at the Delhi airport and will be welcomed by our local representative. The first introduction with the hectic Indian capital is for many a visitor an ordeal. Delhi has 18 million inhabitants and is the second most populated city in the country (after Mumbai). It is a metropolis full of glaring contradictions: towering modern office buildings show that the Indian economy is doing well, but right next to the big buildings entire families live under a piece of tarp on the sidewalk. While the rich are busy with their cell phones and computers, many of the poor do not even have clean water or enough to eat.Day 2 Delhi – Ranthambore

Arguably India's most famous building, it is a mausoleum; built by emperor Shah Jahan out of love for his wife Mumtaz after she died giving birth to her fifteenth child. It is entirely made of white marble, which is inlaid with countless gemstones. Between 1631 and 1653 more than 20,000 people participated in the construction of the monument. The Taj Mahal is one of the seven architectural wonders of the world and is seen as the pinnacle of Moghul architecture. The complex is surrounded by a beautiful garden, where families are happy to be photographed with their favorite building in the background.
