Taj Mahal
One of the most popular sites in India is the Taj Mahal. It’s only a few hours away from New Delhi and it’s a site that many people want to see, even if they don’t have an interest in Indian culture. It is beautiful, and it is a place that many people never get tired of seeing. This is even more so for locals who live in the area because it is such an important part of their history.

Golden Temple
The Golden Temple in Amritsar is a beautiful building. It's one of the holiest Hindu sites, and it's also frequented by Sikhs who come to pray. The temple is open 24 hours a day, but it's best to visit in the mornings or evenings for more subdued lighting, which offers a peaceful environment for spiritual reflection.

Ajanta and Ellora Caves
Ajanta and Ellora Caves are a group of Buddhist caves and Hindu temples carved into the sheer rock face of the hills near Aurangabad. The most famous is Ajanta, which contains some of the most beautiful paintings in India.
Ellora has carvings that start with Hindu-related sculptures and then move on to Buddhist-related ones. In total, there are 34 caves in Ellora and 30 in Ajanta, with each cave having its own style.
The caves have been occupied by monks since 500 B.C., but it wasn't until around A.D. 600 that they became abandoned for unknown reasons until tourists discovered them again in 1819.

Varanasi Riverfront
Varanasi Riverfront is one of the most interesting places in India as an Indian city with a difference.
Varanasi is not just a destination for tourists – it’s also where inhabitants live and work. It is different from any other place you will find in India.
It is home to the oldest university in the world and has a rich history that you can explore as you walk its streets. Varanasi has a fantastic nightlife, so there are plenty of things to do during the day and evening to keep everyone entertained. And if you don’t want to spend all your time sightseeing, it’s easy to get lost in the very long list of delicious restaurants on offer here!

Dharavi slum tour
Dharavi is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and it's also the second-largest slum in the world. In Dharavi, you'll be able to see how people live their daily lives, which can be an eye-opening experience for visitors.
The tour begins at a makeshift temple that has been built out of scrap material and cardboard boxes. It was erected by a self-appointed Hindu priest who calls himself "Swami."
After spending some time praying, you'll head off to a different section of the slum where you'll see people still living in poverty with no access to water or electricity. You'll see makeshift homes that are built from garbage and mud. The conditions can be tough to witness and will make you appreciate what you have even more.
To end your intense journey through Dharavi, you'll enjoy some delicious street food before returning back to your hotel or exploring other parts of India.
