DAY 01 : Delhi
You will be met on arrival and transferred to your chosen
hotel in Delhi. Delhi offers a panorama of fascinating
and paradoxical imagery with history vying with modernity
in its random pattern of forts, tombs and ruins in Old
Delhi to high-rise buildings and stately homes on wide,
tree-lined avenues in New Delhi.
An overnight stay in Delhi does away with most cases
of jet-lag and anticipation of the rest of the holiday
package does the rest of the job of rejuvenating and
recharging holiday spirits.

- founded by the fourth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Ramdas and
completed by his successor, Guru Arjan Dev. People from
all walks of life, but especially Sikhs come here to
pay obeisance to The Guru Granth Sahib (the Holy Book
of the Sikhs) and take a dip in the Amrit Saras Kund
(Pool of Immortality) for spiritual purification.
Other places of interest in Amritsar include the Jallian
Wala Bagh - notorious for the massacre that took place
here under British rule, and visited by many for its
east-end garden housing a large memorial built in memory
of those who died here and a visit to the Wagha Border
- the international border between India and Pakistan
where the pomp and pageantry of the Beating Retreat
& Change of Guard ceremonies makes for a spectacular
show. Overnight stay arranged for guests in Amritsar.

the verdant natural beauty of pine, deodar, oak and rhododendron
forests that afford Shimla its abundant green backdrop
and fresh mountain breeze. Despite modernization and an
apartment system creeping into its slow, mountain life
soul, Shimla still retains much of its erstwhile colonial
