Taj Mahal

I knew India would be more than the typical Delhi > Jaipur > Agra route on the itinerary. But I didn’t know how much more there’d be than these classic destinations.

I’m not a fan of overused clichés, but there’s no other way to say this: when I first saw the Taj Mahal, it quite literally took my breath away.

Jam-packed cities, chilled-out beaches, mystical mountains, vast deserts… there is SO much to see and do in India – but where do you start? Right here

Yep, it’s true. The Taj Mahal will, as of April 2018, endure a cleansing mud mask that will brighten its marble and unclog its pores for a youthful, radiant glow (…we may have made up that last bit).

“India is a sensory overload, but in the best possible way.” That’s how photographer Mirae Campbell describes her recent 15-day trip from Delhi to Goa with Intrepid Travel.

Is there a sight more iconic, more beautiful, more jaw-droppingly spectacular than the Taj Mahal? 

Artist Jane Labowitch likes to doodle. In fact she’s made it her full-time profession. And the instrument she’s chosen? None other than the humble etch-a-sketch.
