Family-Friendly Taj Adventure (6 Days)

Start your day with a visit to the National Rail Museum. Kids (and big kids!) will love climbing aboard vintage steam engines and learning about India's railway history through interactive exhibits. After lunch, it's time to experience India's railways for real! Board an executive class train to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. Sit back and enjoy the changing landscape as you speed towards your next destination. Once in Agra, visit the inspiring Sheroes Hangout café. Run by acid attack survivors, this café serves delicious snacks and teaches an important lesson about courage and resilience.

Rise and shine early today for a truly magical experience – watching the sunrise at the Taj Mahal! Your guide will share stories about this wonder of the world as you explore its beautiful gardens and marvel at its shimmering white marble. In the afternoon, step back in time at Agra Fort. With an interactive audio guide, the whole family can learn about the fort's fascinating history at their own pace. Listen out for tales of emperors, hidden treasures, and secret passages! End your day with a heartwarming visit to the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation Center. Here, you'll meet rescued elephants and learn how the centre cares for these gentle giants.

After breakfast, hop in the car for a drive to the mysterious city of Fatehpur Sikri. This massive red sandstone city was suddenly abandoned over 400 years ago. Your guide will bring the empty streets to life with stories of the people who once lived here. Next, you'll head to Bharatpur, home of the famous Keoladeo National Park. In the evening, take a relaxing cycle rickshaw ride through the park. Keep your eyes peeled for deer, antelope, and if you're lucky, you might spot a python!

Wake up early for some morning birdwatching in Keoladeo National Park. With over 230 species of birds, it's a paradise for nature lovers. See how many different birds your family can spot! After lunch, you'll drive back to Delhi. In the evening, get ready for a dazzling sound and light show at Purana Qila (Old Fort). Watch as colourful lights and booming narration bring 5,000 years of Delhi's history to life!

On your last day, visit the National Science Centre for some hands-on learning fun. With four floors of interactive exhibits, there's something to spark every child's imagination. In the afternoon, head to Dilli Haat for some last-minute souvenir shopping. This open-air market is full of crafts from all over India. Pick up some colourful bangles, a soft pashmina shawl, or maybe a puppet for the kids to remember their Indian adventure. As the sun sets on your final day, you'll head to the airport for your flight back to the UK, with suitcases full of souvenirs and heads full of wonderful memories!
