- ADarren· February 27th, 2023There were many highlights. The Taj Mahal being the obvious one but fatehpur sikri was a massive surprise. The boat on the Ganges was extremely memorable as was the aatri festival at varanassi. The island jungle resort was very special and we were well looked after by Depak and his team. That place and them will stay long in hearts and minds. Kathmandu was also a highlight and wished we’ d been there longer and there was so much to see unlike Pokhara.Show moreTrip date: February 2023Review collected by Explore!
