Discover the gems of India’s Golden Triangle and Sri Lanka’s sacred sites without spending a fortune on this 19-day budget-friendly vacation in India and Sri Lanka. In Delhi, visit the India Gate and the pink Presidential Palace, then travel through the vibrant Chandni Chowk bazaar by rickshaw. Visit Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar before departing Delhi for Agra. Here, you’ll marvel at the splendid Taj Mahal at sunset, as the fading rays reflect changing hues across the spectacular marble monument to love.

Embark on a thrilling open-air safari game drive through Ranthambore National Park in search of marsh crocodiles, striped hyenas, and the elusive Bengal tiger. Continue to the “Pink City” of Jaipur—home to the legendary Amber Fort. Explore its alabaster Hall of Victory and incredible Chamber of Mirrors, and visit Jantar Mantar and the City Palace Museum to browse ancient art and artifacts. Continue to Sri Lanka, where ancient sites, lush landscapes, and abundant wildlife set the stage.

Travel from Colombo to Habarana for a jeep safari in Minneriya National Park—known for its elephant herds—and visit the dramatic rock fortress of Sigiriya. In Kandy, explore the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and enjoy a hands on cooking class before journeying through waterfall lined hill country to the tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya. A scenic train ride via Ella passes the iconic Nine Arches Bridge, leading to Yala National Park, famed for its leopards and diverse wildlife. Conclude your remarkable journey in historic Galle, with a visit to the UNESCO listed Dutch Fort and time at leisure along the coast. This value-minded tour to see India’s famed Taj and tigers and Sri Lanka’s landscapes and leopards is a treasure not to be missed!
