Why go?

Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight Flight

Jai ho, jai ho it’s off to India you go! Lay back and catch some shut eye on your overnight flight, it’s a long one, but from the minute you step off the plane in Delhi, you’ll know that it’s totally worth it.

This tour requires a visa for U.S. citizens. Check entry requirements or call us with questions at 800-766-2645.

Day 2: Arrive in Delhi

Welcome to India! You’re in Delhi: one the largest and most storied cities in the country. For thousands of years, empires from across Asia and Europe have strived to rule this land, each leaving their mark in the form of Muslim mosques, Mughal palaces, and even a love for British cricket.

You’ll be arriving late, so focus on resting up as much as possible for the exciting day ahead of you.

Today’s highlights
  • Land at the airport and meet a waiting EF representative.
  • Transfer to your hotel to check in and check out your room.
