This is a tour for those interested in India’s rich cultural history and intense spiritual devotion. In sixteen hours I visited four temples related to Krishna, two Mughal mausoleums, a carpet weaving facility, a jeweler, an immense fort of red sandstone and the Taj Mahal. I’d never seen anything like the scenes inside the temples we went to - instead of just being hustled from one touristy place to another, I got to observe authentic Hindu ceremonies in small villages. Mahesh, my guide, was knowledgeable and friendly and accommodated lots of last minute requests by adding stops on the tour. Our driver Hari was solid, I never waited outside in the heat for more than 30 seconds before he was there. Good way to see a lot on a short schedule!
