FAQs

  • Bangkok: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.

Included Experience

  • Delhi: Here’s your chance to tick the Raj Ghat, Sikh Temple and a rickshaw ride off your to-do list. All in one day.
  • Varanasi: Feel the love for your new Contiki fam and count your blessings, as you watch a Hindu spiritual ceremony from the River Ganges.
  • Varanasi: Time to take to the sky. Varanasi, here we come!
  • Varanasi: Explore this spiritual hotspot: said to be where Buddha delivered his first sermon. A pilgrimage for Buddhists across the globe.
  • Varanasi: A near-spiritual experience. Watch the skies glow in a rainbow of colours as you sail down the river and watch the city wake up.
  • Lucknow: For epic architecture and mythical bazaars, don’t miss the technicolour sights of this city. Includes the Great Imambara and La Martiniere.
  • Lucknow: This non-profit organisation works to rehabilitate survivors of acid attacks – providing employment opportunities and generally raising awareness of the issue. Your heart may ache, but you’ll come away feeling a sense of hope and admiration for the survivors too. You’ll also have your chance to support the organisation by buying drinks and snacks onsite.
  • Agra: This majestic building is one of India’s star attractions. And it feels like you’ve stepped onto a Bollywood film set.
  • Agra: This one needs no introduction. Epic in the pictures. Out-of-this-world IRL.

  • Agra: There’s nothing quite like having an elephant as your new BFF. Hang out with the gentle giants at this sanctuary.
  • Chitwan National Park: Climb into your Jeep and buckle up for an action-packed day. Look out for one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, leopards, elephants and peacocks.
  • Kathmandu: Explore this jam-packed, rainbow-coloured melting pot of a city, with its mythical views of the Himalayas. Patan Durbar Square is a must-see.
