Your perfectly paced, expertly-led city tour provides a soft landing, an ideal first foray into this fascinating land. Your panoramic tour today will show you some of its most remarkable landmarks. DAY 4: NEW DELHI, TRANSFER TO AGRA To gaze upon the Taj Mahal is a moment at the top of countless travel bucket lists, as well it should be. Widely considered one of the most beautiful monuments ever created, this “elegy in marble” is guaranteed not to disappoint—especially when viewed at the magical hour of sunset, as you are fortunate enough to see it today.
DAY 5: AGRA, TRANSFER TO JAIPUR Is the Taj Mahal best seen at sunset or sunrise? It’s an impossible question to answer, so Uniworld guests have the rare pleasure of experiencing both. Wake up early this morning for a second visit to this unforgettable site, so you can see the white marble monument aglow with the rosy tinge of dawn. DAY 6: JAIPUR Pink is the colour of hospitality in Rajasthan, which gives you an idea of what to expect in the “Pink City” of Jaipur. You’ll see some marvelous things here, including the Amber Palace and Jantar Mantar, an ancient observatory still used by local astrologers to determine the position of the stars.

Taj Mahal, India The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra – View of Taj Mahal
Viceroy Suite - Ganges Voyager II As incredible as it sounds, India is the birthplace of four of the world’s major religions (including Buddhism and Hinduism), and Kalna—India’s “Temple City”—has some of the most magnificent examples of Hindu temples on the entire subcontinent. Kalna, once an important trade port on the river, is best known today for the magnificent Hindu temples.
DAY 9: MATIARI Your ship serves as a time machine today, transporting you hundreds of years into the past, as we travel to an artisan village where craftsmen use materials and techniques that have remained unchanged for centuries. DAY 10: MURSHIDABAD, BARANAGAR Curiosities abound in India, and that includes the country’s eclectic architectural styles. But a palace with a thousand doors? Such a thing does indeed exist, as you’ll see for yourself today, along with some famous terracotta carvings, the ruins of a mosque and yet another cultural curiosity—the game of cricket, India’s beloved national sport. DAY 11: THE GANGES One of the world’s most sacred bodies of water, the Ganges River flows through a myriad of small villages and highly populated cities throughout India and Bangladesh. Take in the remarkable scenery as you sail and be on the lookout for a rare sighting of the endangered Ganges river dolphin.
DAY 12: MAYAPUR, CHANDANNAGAR, KOLKATA Few places of worship exist on such a head-spinning scale as what you will witness today in Mayapur, the centre of the international Hare Krishna movement and home to the new Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, still under construction.
Observations Deck - Ganges Voyager II DAY 14: KOLKATA (DISEMBARK) Transfer to the airport for your flight back to the UK. DAY 15: Arrive back in the UK.
DAY 13: KOLKATA The city of Kolkota is virtually synonymous with the enduring legacies of Mother Teresa— recently canonized as a Catholic saint—and the colonialera British Raj, both of which you will get better acquainted with today.
