Despite its undeniable allure to the traveller, there can be a hesitation to venture there alone.
With this in mind, Auckland-based boutique travel company World Journeys has created a women-only small group tour designed to overcome hesitations and replace them with meaningful connections and authentic experiences. Travelling in a small group, they say, allows these experiences to be shared, offering the freedom to immerse yourself fully in the vibrant culture and breathtaking sights of India.
Why women only? Some single travellers are not comfortable travelling in a group of couples, some are keen to travel with a friend – and even to extend their friend group – while others simply prefer the company of other women. There’s a different dynamic, a comfortable sense of shared experience, a relaxed camaraderie.
This adventure begins in Kolkata, indulging in rich Bengali traditions, colourful markets, and delicious cuisine. From there, it’s on to the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra – a timeless symbol of love and one of the world’s most spectacular monuments. The ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur is where the romantic palaces and bustling bazaars of Rajasthan really kick in, transporting you back in time. In Udaipur, witness tranquil lake palaces and lively markets, offering a perfect blend of serenity and vibrant local life. Finally, explore Delhi’s famed markets and enjoy a farewell dinner that promises to be the perfect culmination of your journey.
Led by a seasoned World Journeys host – all the way from Auckland and back – every step is guided with care and expertise. This adventure will bring stunning sights, unique insights, new friendships, and unforgettable memories, because travel is better when shared with inspiring women.
