The ornate carvings and bejewelled marble of the Taj Mahal is simply breathtaking. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz, this may very well be the ultimate monument to love.

Days 7-8 Varanasi
Set on the banks of the Ganges and the ultimate destination for Hindu pilgrims, Varanasi is India's sacred heart. Watch religious life in action in temples, shrines and along the river ghats.
Day 9 Lumbini
Travel to the birthplace of Buddha, the town of Lumbini which sits near the beautiful Nepalese border.

Days 13-15 Kathmandu
Journey past rice terraces, deep gorges, pounding rivers and the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas en route to Kathmandu. Make sure you visit Durbar Square, the monkey temple and burning ghats at Pashupatinath and Boudhanath Stupa.
