One of the benefits of an early rise when travelling is avoiding crowds, as this group of Australian travel advisors in India at the moment can attest to having woken at 5am for a sunrise viewing of the iconic Taj Mahal with virtually no other soles around.
The group are exploring the subContinent this week as guests of Creative Travel DMC and Numinous LTR, visiting Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur and Delhi over 10 nights. While taking in the highlights of north India, the trip will be complemented with stays at the like of the ultra-luxury Aman, Oberoi and Leela Palace hotels.
Creative Travel is part of a family legacy of two generations that has showcased this part of the world for close to four decades. The operator has grown to become a prominent, respected and independent Destination Management Company offering the finest of cultural experiences, personal immersions and natural wonders all over India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Tibet & the Maldives.
Other highlights the Australian advisors can expect to experience while on their journey with Creative Travel includes the Bhangarh Fort; a cooking demonstration and dinner with a local family in Jaipur; and a visit to the Jagdish Temple built in 1651 and ornamented with excellent carvings and a bronze figure of the Garuda. They will also take a boat cruise on Lake Pichola, sailing through the placid waters where they can view the City Palace. Creative Travel have also coordinated a half-day culinary walk in the bustling streets of Old Delhi, accompanied by a skilled chef who will introduce them to the flavours and aromas of the local cuisine.
