Flight

Flights

The day has arrived! Going to Galeão (GIG) and Guarulhos (GRU) in night of October 20, Sunday, for a flight in the early hours of October 21st. Very good flight!

As a rule, airlines in other Brazilian cities require you to check in your checked bag all the way to your final destination, in our case, Delhi. Talking to check-in supervisors at different airlines in Guarulhos, they explained that sometimes the airline systems at different airports in Brazil can't handle check-in all the way to your final destination. Other times, the person checking you in doesn't know how to check in all the way to your final destination. So, talk to the person checking you in; if necessary, call the supervisor and see if you can arrange for your bag to be checked through to your final destination. If that's not possible, no problem. We usually arrive at T2 in Guarulhos, pick up our bag, and continue (a 15-minute walk) to T3. It was also a breeze. Have a great flight!

Try to get as much rest as possible on your first night. So arrive for breakfast, for example, about 40 minutes before the café closes (we will confirm the time on the day) to meet the guide for the visits and activities.

Our suggested tours for this afternoon are: Kartavya Path (Rajpath) with India Gate, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib and Lakshminarayan temple. If you're in the mood for more stuff, we have some extra possibilities in mind. Please let us know and we'll talk.

Lakshmi Narayan Temple

Also close to our hotel is the Hindu temple Lakshminarayan, also known as Birla (an important Indian family) Mandir (temple in Hindi). We'll see many Hindu temples during the trip, from the smallest on the sidewalks and in front of houses to the largest, as in this case. These are opportunities to learn and reflect on the knowledge, wisdom, and learning methods that have been practiced for millennia throughout the Asian subcontinent: from the Hindustan River Valley (from Mt. Kailash in Tibet to Pakistan), extending across the Gangetic Plain (from Rishikesh to Kolkata), and across the Himalayas to South India. Take the opportunity to ask your guide about your questions and curiosities about Hinduism, as well as the temple-goers, including the priests. We'll hear varied answers, with different approaches and levels of understanding of this knowledge, from the most beginner to the most accomplished, from the most popular to the most academic.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib

Also close to our hotel, a visit to the Sikh temple, a 16th-century religion from the Punjab region of India, is certainly a good option. In the beautiful Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, we will hear their chants (see the translation on the monitors inside the temple), we will observe how they say their prayers in the temple and around the sacred tank. We will also be able to visit the kitchen where volunteers provide meals for thousands of people daily, regardless of social class and religion.

Humayun's Mausoleum

Second of the six major Mughal emperors, Humayun (1508-1556), his mausoleum was built in Delhi. The first with architecture associated with a garden and use of red sandstone on this scale in India. Thus, it was a predecessor and similar in beauty to the Taj Mahal. There are those who consider this monument even more beautiful.

We can also take a walk around one of the parks where locals go for their walks, very beautiful, the Lodi Garden.

We can also take a walk around one of the parks where locals go for walks. A very beautiful one is Lodi Garden. Another option, since you'll be at Humayun Tomb, is the Sunder Nursery next door. Besides being very well-kept and beautiful, there's a café and restaurant inside.

A tour of one of the parks where locals go for their walks, very beautiful, with mausoleums of the various sultans of Delhi, Lodi Garden is a great option that combines history, nature and the opportunity to observe the daily lives of local residents.

4th Day 9-Oct-2025 Thu DELHI DELHI

Old Delhi.

Red Fort

We will begin our tour with what is actually one of the many Delhis that existed in different eras and empires in a succession of neighboring cities. The last and eighth Delhi is where we are staying, built by the English, called New Delhi. The seventh was built by Shah Jahan, one of the great Mughal emperors, the same one who built the Taj Mahal, at the time known as Shajahanabad. Today we call it Old Delhi. or Old Delhi. We'll visit the Emperor's great mosque, the Jama Masjid. If you'd like, you can take a walk up to the minaret! From there, we'll have views of the city and the Red Fort. Talk to your guide. He doesn't need to climb the minaret and can keep your backpack (which can't be climbed onto the minaret, so it's always a good idea to have a padlock or not leave any money in it). Just be very careful on the platform up there, please.

Next, we'll stroll through the alleys of its old bazaar. There's a very old shop, passed down from father to son for a long time, selling essential oils (sandalwood, etc.) and incense, called Gulab Singh Johri Mal, which is a worthwhile visit in itself. You can buy a small box of oil along with one of the bottles typical of this Muslim region of Delhi. Following the tour through the alleys of the bazaar, most guides prefer to take a bicycle rickshaw. We highly recommend taking the walking tour, for more exposure and a better view of the bazaar. You'll also have the opportunity to visit a small, ancient Jain temple with beautiful paintings. There's more than one Jain temple in the area; this one is in the small village called Naughara Gali, in Kinari Bazaar. We then continue until we reach the Red Fort, where the important Lahori Gate is located. It was here that important speeches in the history of India took place, such as the independence of this country, today the largest democracy in the world, where ancient values ​​and customs coexist with extremely modern knowledge and technologies.

We will save our visit to one of the Red Forts for the one in Agra, with more history, prettier and better preserved.

We will visit the Red Fort, built in red sandstone and white marble in the 200th century. XVII, also by Emperor Shah Jahan. Used by the Mughal Empire for approx. XNUMX years, we will understand how they lived, with their gardens, rooms, public and private audience halls. We will see that it was also used by the English army.

Raj Ghat

On the way back to our hotel area, we will pay our respects at the memorial where Gandhi was cremated, the Raj Ghat. We will see what his last words were, a sign of great achievement on his spiritual path. Those who like photographs, look for images taken by Cartier-Bresson, one of the greatest photographers who ever lived, who was in Delhi that day.

Kartavya Path (Rajpath)

Near our hotel is the esplanade built by the English in the 20th century, called Kartavya Path (until recently called Rajpath). Here you will find India Gate, a landmark of the city, built in honor of the fighters in the great war, where you can get off to take some photos. On the other side of Kartavya Path is the house of the current president of India.

Close to our hotel is the terrace built by the English in the 17th century. XX, called Kartavya Path (until recently called Rajpath). It contains the India Gate, the city's landmark, built in honor of the combatants in the Great War. We usually end up passing by it more than once during our days in Delhi. Depending on the rules on the day, what has sometimes been possible is for us to arrange with the guide and driver to get off near India Gate to take a photo, the driver goes around, then passes by again to pick us up in a few minutes or parks there. close. Another possibility is, when we pass through Kartavya Path, our driver passes slowly so that we can take photos of the car. See how you prefer, ok? On the other side of Kartavya Path is the house of the current president of India.

Gandhi Smriti

Another special visit for our day is the last house where Gandhi lived, known as Birla House or Gandhi SmritiWe will learn a little about this important part of this nation's history, including the life and final moments of this great leader, an example of the practice of Ahimsa (non-violence) and the culture of peace that continues throughout the world today. The most important parts of the museum today are at the beginning of the visit. So, a suggestion: (1) head to the back of the house where Gandhi was assassinated on the way to the place where he said his daily prayers. Return and take a look at a presentation about Gandhi's life, with photos of his birthplace, until he became the Gandhi we know. Then enter (2) the house through Gandhi's bedroom, where his belongings are displayed. In all the places where Gandhi lived, he had a simple room with belongings like these. (3) On this same ground floor, further into the house, on the right, after a room with a projection and music that Gandhi liked, there is a corridor with black and white photographs recounting Gandhi's life. If you have time, it's interesting. These are the most important parts of the visit. I suggest you continue through the other rooms in a much more concise manner, for a few minutes, including the floor above. There are volunteers available to show you the museum, but it can take a long time. If you'd like their support, ask them to present just two or three sections of the museum, or do a 5-minute summary (which will probably end up being longer). Suggestion: spend a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes on these sections of the museum (after Gandhi's room) so you can use your day for other visits in the city.

5th Day 10-Oct-2025 Fri DELHI DELHI

Lotus Temple

Hare Krishna Temple

Today we will start our day further south of the city, where we will visit the beautiful Lotus TempleBuilt in the shape of its name, it belongs to the Bahá'í religion, founded in the 19th century in ancient Persia. Upon visiting, you'll be invited to remain silent for a moment. This is an interesting opportunity and experience in the midst of this large, bustling city. After visiting the temple, which is sometimes open, further along the exit (before turning right to the street gate), there are stairs leading to an exhibition on the history and work of this religion. It's interesting to take a look and experience brief expositions on its thoughts.

Near the Lotus Temple, we can visit the temple ISKCON. Very beautiful, it's a good opportunity to see how the Hare Krishna movement, which we've already seen in our countries, is practiced in India. Let's just be mindful of their midday closing times (open from 10 a.m. to 13 p.m., then from 16:15 p.m. to 21 p.m.).

National museum

Returning to more central Delhi, a very interesting visit in Delhi is the National museum. It's possible to spend many hours or days appreciating each hall and exhibit on the history, arts, and people of India. A good way to take advantage of this opportunity is to visit a main hall and the relics of Buddha. Your backpack must be stored in a cloakroom before entering the museum building (small women's purses or clutches are usually allowed), and then, just before climbing the entrance stairs, be sure to take a look to your left at one of, if not the first, charter of human rights, carved in stone, according to the laws of the great Indian emperor of the 3rd century BC, Ashoka. Just after your entrance, one of the first halls is about Mohenjodaro and Harappa, the cradle of this Indian culture, between 3500 and 1500 BC. Right at the entrance to this hall, there's an interesting comparison of the eras of humanity's ancient civilizations. Next, we have objects from this period, the main ones being: the seal with what must have been Shiva (possibly in the form of Pashupati), the sculpture of the priest's head, and the dancing girl. From there, we walked (please be mindful of your time), without stopping too much, aiming to make the most of our day at the museum, through the other halls (there is an interesting digital exhibition on the Ajanta and Ellora caves further up, as well as a hall on the tribal regions of India and traditional instruments). (3) Now, in a new building on the way out of the museum, we have relics of the Buddha. A very special place to visit and, if you wish, to sit for a few moments. It is common to find practitioners of this Nepalese/Indian master's method (Sakya), sitting in meditation around his relics.

A very interesting visit in Delhi is the National museum. It is possible to spend many hours or days appreciating each hall and exhibits about the history, arts and people of India. A good way to take advantage of this opportunity is to visit the hall of Indo-Saravasti Culture and the relics of Buddha. In this hall we will learn a little about the cradle of Indian culture, with objects from 3500 and 1500 BC, such as the seal with what must have been Shiva (possibly in the form of Pashupati), the sculpture of the head of the priest and the dancing girl. In a new building, we have the relics of Buddha. A very special place to sit for a while and, if you want, do your practice.

We will check the city's cultural agenda for the days in Delhi, as a possibility of a special activity, where great artists from the country perform.

Car trip

Baby Taj

Sunset

Taj Mahal

Fatehpur Sikri,

Flight

Car Jaipur Agra

Today we will travel by car to Agra. On the way, closer to Agra, we will visit the city of Fatehpur Sikri, built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. A student of the philosophy of the great religious traditions, he was the first Mughal emperor not to levy higher taxes on those who were not of his religion, such as having a Hindu general commanding his army. In addition to visiting its city, used for a very short period, we will also visit the Emperor's Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque) and the mausoleum of a Sufi saint, from the time of this empire. Late afternoon check-in at the hotel.

Tips on starting tomorrow:

– Suggestion to rest well that day, not finishing too late, and visit the Taj very early tomorrow. In addition to the possibility of beautiful light, it is also calmer than during the day. There may be a fog, which will almost always open at some point (and then return). But even if it doesn't open, quite rare, it's still quite beautiful. All Travellers to this day are grateful for going so early.

– To calculate the departure time from our hotel, we use two main pieces of information: the time the Taj gates open (it varies from month to month, so we will ask the guide and the hotel a few days in advance) and the sunrise time in Agra on that day (here). Are approx. 10-15 min drive from hotel to car park, then approx. 5min by electric cart to the gate where there can be a queue and we have to wait for them to open (we suggest arriving a little before opening time to avoid queues even if there is a specific queue for foreigners). Then, skip the queue, another 10-15 minutes for inspection and walk to the platform where you can see the Taj. – Leave food at the hotel, creams, travel knife, nail trim, practically everything except camera, cell phone for photos, temple kit and, depending on the time of year, a coat. Talk to your guide about what can and cannot be taken as it also varies greatly from season to season. – Confirming the time the breakfast ends with the hotel can also be of good help in calculating time to return from the tour tomorrow: from the Taj to the gate and then to the car.. 30-40min, plus 10-15min by car to the hotel.

Car Delhi Agra

After our breakfast, we will travel today on a new road to Agra (between 4 and 5 am). The time we leave Delhi will greatly influence the use of the afternoon in Agra. See the suggestions for today's end of the day below. Perhaps having breakfast at the beginning of the hotel's hours and then leaving is a good option.

If there is time, we will check in to our hotel or take advantage of our time to visit Agra Fort. This Red Fort in Agra, more beautiful and with more history than the one in Delhi. It was first used by Babur, the first Mughal emperor, in the 17th century. XVI, and built in its current form by Akbar. We will visit its gardens, public and private audience halls, mosque and quarters, including where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son and what Akbar built for his son, with symbols of all the main religious and philosophical traditions of the time.

We will check in, have lunch and then visit Agra Fort. This Red Fort of Agra is more beautiful and has more history than the one in Delhi. It was first used by Babur, the first Mughal emperor, in the 16th century, and built in its current form by Akbar. We will visit its gardens, the public and private audience halls, mosque and living quarters, including the one where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son and the one that Akbar built for his son, with symbols of all the major religious and philosophical traditions of the time.

We will have the opportunity to visit a workshop with artisans descended from them who worked at the Taj, so that we will learn about this art. We suggest that we sleep early for our next morning visit.

Traveling through a very remote region for approx. 5:XNUMX, we will continue to Agra, city known for one of the most famous and visited monuments: the Taj Mahal. Upon our arrival in the city, we will visit an earlier and smaller version of the Taj, known as the Baby Taj.

If, together with the guide, we take good care of the weather, we can visit the Baby Taj in a region a little further away from the city. A miniature version of the Taj. As well as being careful with the weather today, as well as the time of sunset, transits and a bit of luck with nature, there is the possibility of seeing the sun setting on the other side of the Yamuna River. , behind the Taj.

Calculation:

– I suggest arriving 40 min or a little before sunset (here) to enjoy and have more chances to see a beautiful light (which depends a lot on the weather, but it's still always worth it). We see the time it must take from where we are to the Baby Taj (here), bearing in mind that after the bridge we pass through the neighborhood market with narrow and sometimes congested streets. Visit that takes around 20 minutes (according to our pace). Baby Taj time as far as car can go near sunset location (here). A 10 or 15 min walk (there is an option for a paid garden with an entrance near the place where the cars stop and a place next to it without paying. Both have beautiful views in different ways). If you can help think about the timing so that it is smooth and as safe as possible for India, please let us know. He is well? We're pretty used to it.

Tips on starting tomorrow:

– A suggestion to rest well that day, not ending too late, to visit the Taj very early tomorrow. In addition to the possibility of beautiful light, it is also quieter than during the day. There may be a fog, which will almost always open at some point (and then come back). But even if it doesn't open, quite rare, it's still quite beautiful. All travellers to this day were grateful for having gone early.

– To calculate the departure time from our hotel, we use two main pieces of information: the time when the Taj gates are opening (it varies from month to month so we ask the guide and the hotel, bearing in mind that this time is always associated with sunrise) and sunrise time in Agra on that day (here). Are approx. 10-15 min drive from hotel to car park, then approx. 5min by electric cart to the gate where there can be a queue and we have to wait for them to open (we suggest arriving a little before opening time to avoid queues even if there is a specific queue for foreigners). Then, skip the queue, another 10-15 minutes for inspection and walk to the platform where you can see the Taj. – Leave food at the hotel, creams, travel knife, nail trim, practically everything except camera, cell phone for photos, temple kit and, depending on the time of year, a coat. Talk to your guide about what can and cannot be taken as it also varies greatly from season to season. – Confirming the time the breakfast ends with the hotel can also be of good help in calculating time to return from the tour tomorrow: from the Taj to the gate and then to the car.. 30-40min, plus 10-15min by car to the hotel.

Today we will wake up very early for our visit to the Taj Mahal (see suggestions above at the end of the day before). Built by Shah Jahan for his wife, Muntaz Mahal, in the 20th century. XVII, thousands of workers and architects from different regions of the world, for XNUMX years, used the famous white marble of India and precious stones. Early in the morning, in addition to the possibility of beautiful light, it is also quieter than during the day. Our local guide will tell you many stories about this monument. Return to the hotel for a good breakfast.

Perhaps there is a little time to visit a marble inlaid (pietra dura) stoneworking workshop, such as at the Taj, on the way to the airport. Please confirm that there will be time with your guide.

After breakfast, it's worth checking out, we'll visit Agra Fort. This Red Fort in Agra, more beautiful and with more history than the one in Delhi. It was first used by Babur, the first Mughal emperor, in the 17th century. XVI, and built in its current form by Akbar. We will visit its gardens, public and private audience halls, mosque and quarters, including where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son and what Akbar built for his son, with symbols of all the main religious and philosophical traditions of the time.

Transfer with assistance to the airport for our flight to what is perhaps the oldest living city in the world to this day. The flight should descend in Khajuraho for a few minutes, to drop off and pick up some passengers, it is the only and best flight between Agra and Varanasi, and soon it will continue on its journey! Be careful not to descend and stay in Khajuraho if the flight makes this stop. Check with the flight attendants, please.

We will wake up very early to watch the sunrise at the Taj Mahal, built by the fourth great Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, for his great love Mumtaz Mahal. We will return to the hotel for breakfast, check-out, and then continue to visit the Agra Fort, 5th century. XVI, built mainly by his grandfather and greatest of all Mughal emperors, Akbar. Lunch and then we continued our journey for approx. XNUMXh back to Delhi.

After visiting Agra Fort, we continued our journey on a very good road back to Delhi (approx. 5 hours).

Then we will travel to the capital of the state of Rajasthan, Jaipur.

Today we will take a trip to the state capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur.

On the way we will visit the city of Fatehpur Sikri, built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. A student of the philosophy of the great religious traditions, he was the first Mughal emperor not to levy higher taxes on those who were not of his religion, such as having a Hindu general commanding his army. In addition to visiting its city, used for a very short period, we will also visit the Emperor's Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque) and the mausoleum of a Sufi saint, from the time of this empire.

We will arrive in the capital of the state of Rajasthan at the end of the day.

Tip about starting the tour tomorrow: it's possible to climb up to the fort with the help of an elephant. A few years ago, they began limiting the number of climbs per elephant, a great measure to avoid overloading and stressing the animals. Therefore, there are a limited number of elephants and climbs for each of them (if you want to talk about the work of Wildlife SOS, link here, please let us know). Talk to your guide at the end of the day to ensure you leave the hotel at a time that will allow you to arrive at the front of the line at a time that will guarantee the maximum possible elephant presence, if you prefer to climb the hill.

We'll start our day early to climb up to Fort Amber, with the possibility of an elephant's help on this climb. See note at the end of the previous day on the number of elephants, please. We will walk through the halls, gardens, chambers and secret passages, with views of the region of the palace of the rajput and general of Akbar's army, Man Sing. In the same village of Amber, near Jaipur, we have the option of visiting a museum about the 'block printing' painting technique, set up by the Anokhi store.

On the way back to the pink city, as ancient Jaipur is known, we will stop on the shores of a lake where there is a palace on an island, called Jal Mahal. A restaurant suggestion, quite old and traditional, very funny actually, where we ate approx. 20 years is the LMB. In the old part of the city, everyone knows it. One of the good options is the Veg Thali, a combination of several Indian foods (rice, lentils, vegetables, yogurt, see if a butter nan or plain nan is already available if you don't order it, it's delicious). Ask not to come spicy but it should come a little or a little. So a sweet or banana lassi to go with it can be great!

After a good lunch, we will walk through the old city. We will visit the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of the Winds, built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799, so that women could see the movement of the streets without being seen. We will also visit the City Palace Museum and Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory also from the XNUMXth century. XVIII, now protected by Unesco, constituted by great instruments of incredible precision until the present day.

Tip on tomorrow's start: the sooner we leave, the more time we have for Red Fort in Agra. Possibility to have an early breakfast. Arrange with your driver, please! If we can help, we are always available, please call us to think and organize together.

Free day to explore Jaipur. We had very good feedback from an Ayurvedic massage clinic if you are interested, okay? There are also cooking classes. There is a restaurant with Rajasthani dancing at dinner (booking required). It has a large hotel, formerly a palace, which, if they are receiving people who are not staying with them, has a very good dinner too.

Free day to explore Jaipur. Whether it's enjoying the streets of old Jaipur or returning to the museum with more time. We had very good feedback from an Ayurvedic massage clinic being interested. There is also a cooking class that our Travellers have really enjoyed. There's the old Raj Mandir cinema, a certainly fun experience, mid-film intermission and all. I haven't been yet and I've always wanted to visit Surya Temple. There are some possibilities. Let's talk.

Later, we will celebrate our days and experiences together in these incredible cultures and landscapes with a pleasant dinner.

Boudha Return

Flights

The day has arrived! Going to Galeão (GIG) and Guarulhos (GRU) in night of October 20, Sunday, for a flight in the early hours of October 21st. Very good flight!

As a rule, airlines in other Brazilian cities require you to check in your checked bag all the way to your final destination, in our case, Delhi. Talking to check-in supervisors at different airlines in Guarulhos, they explained that sometimes the airline systems at different airports in Brazil can't handle check-in all the way to your final destination. Other times, the person checking you in doesn't know how to check in all the way to your final destination. So, talk to the person checking you in; if necessary, call the supervisor and see if you can arrange for your bag to be checked through to your final destination. If that's not possible, no problem. We usually arrive at T2 in Guarulhos, pick up our bag, and continue (a 15-minute walk) to T3. It was also a breeze. Have a great flight!

Flights

This is a day that travellers always request. After visiting all the regions of our trip together, already being familiar with Kathmandu, a day to enjoy our Tibetan neighborhood, take a walk around the city, go somewhere we haven't been yet, return with more time to one or more places that We visited, having already met and now being able to enjoy a coffee, review a museum, buy a few things, these are possibilities that are always very welcome by our friends, fellow travellers. Count on our support, of course, and enjoy your day in Nepal!

We will see how the group wants to best enjoy the day. We have some suggestions like a walk around the valley. We will listen to how each Traveller prefers to enjoy the day so we can think about how it will be better for the group, to enjoy the whole day together or if some Travellers prefer to have our support for more independent activities.

After all the preparations have been well taken care of over the last few months, it's time to go to the airport for the flights to Nepal!

We have our hotel available until approx. noon in the morning. So, you can choose to fly back home that night, early morning or tomorrow. It's always quite comfortable to go to the airport while we still have our room available to rest, pack our bags and take a shower.

We hope you enjoyed your travel days. May you have great flights back home and come back soon!

Going to the airport could have been the night before, as explained above, this morning or today, depending on your preference. Very good flights! See you soon!

Regarding times and days, flights normally leave Guarulhos SP (GRU) early in the morning, around 1 or 2am that night. Therefore, anyone traveling to São Paulo from other states must make their domestic flight the day before. And anyone going to GRU by car must go to the airport the night before. Guilherme will certainly contact you before you go to the airport and will be available when you arrive at the airport to see if you need any help, making sure you are arriving with complete peace of mind. Have a great flight and see you soon!

If your flight is today, have a great flight!
