Though not used for over 300 years it is still a superb example of Mughal architecture. In 1986, the site was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We tour the Palace-Fort and visit the artistically designed mausoleum of the Sufi saint, Salim Chisty who played a major (albeit indirect) role in the creation of the Taj Mahal.

Day 12: September 23, 2025: Agra/New Delhi (Drive)

A day never to be forgotten. We begin with a sunrise visit to the most well-known of the ‘Seven Modern Wonders of the World’, the Taj Mahal. It is a unique and exquisite experience to be at the gates as they are swung open and be the first to view the Taj Mahal with the soft morning light. The Taj Mahal, being the world’s most well-known monument, is extremely popular with visitors. Our desire is for you to experience the monument of love when it is not crowded. Hence the early morning start which also has  better sunlight. It was built around 1632 by the 5th Mughal emperor Shah Jehan as a mausoleum for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal who died during the birth of their 14th child. It took some 20 years to complete building the Taj employing around 20,000 people and it is considered to be the best piece of Muslim architecture in India and maybe even of the world. Seeing the Taj is beyond what any photographs or films can do justice. While there, both Paul and our tour guide will share a few of their favourite stories of the Taj and that of ancient India. After the visit of the Taj Mahal we have breakfast at our hotel before  driving to the capital city of India, New Delhi.

Day 13: September 24, 2025: Delhi

Today, we explore wonderful sights and experiences of New Delhi and Old Delhi. The British Raj built New Delhi as their capital, while Old Delhi is a reflection of both its Mughal past and the 7 city kingdoms of earlier times. We could easily spend a month exploring the many exotic corners of both cities, however, we have only a day and we will try to do justice. Some of our highlights for the day, include:

Jama Masjid, in Old Delhi, is the second largest mosque in Asia. A center of Muslim importance, it was built in 1656 by Shah Jehan, builder of the Taj Mahal. The best over-views of Old Delhi are to be seen by climbing the narrow steps to the top observation level of one of its two towering minarets.

We take bicycle rickshaws through the gullies, or narrow pathways, of Old Delhi which hold the most wonderful specialty markets: spices, gold and silver, wedding saris, antiques and much more. Then we drop in at the Rikhi Ram Music Store in Connaught Place where the Beatles also shopped for their musical instruments. Evening, we join Paul for his slide show talk on: ‘The Inner Journey. Fusion of East and West’ followed by a conversation. (B)

Day 14: September 25, 2025: Delhi/Haridwar (Train) & Haridwar/Rishikesh (Drive)

India has the world’s largest train network and it is said that on any given day there are over 24 million people on the trains of India! The Indian Railways employs over 1.4 million people making it India’s largest employer. Any train journey adds wonderful flavour to our Indian adventure. We take the deluxe, early-morning Shatabdi Express train to Haridwar located at the foothills of the Himalayas on the banks of River Ganges. Haridwar is a jumping off point for the short drive up to Rishikesh - one of the four holiest sites of Hinduism and a center for meditation, yoga and spiritual studies. It was here in 1968, at the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ashram where the Beatles studied meditation and wrote many songs. Undoubtedly, the ambience of the environment had an influence which is clearly reflected in the content of the songs. Here, Paul Saltzman spent a week with John, Paul, George and Ringo. Evening, we’ll join a candlelight Aarti ceremony on the Ghats of the Ganges at Parmath Ashram.

Overnight: Aloha On The Ganges (2 Nights) (B)

Their time at the ashram was their single most creative capsule of time—they wrote 48 songs in about 7 weeks. Overlooking the Ganges, Paul will lead a short meditation and share stories of his time with the Beatles at the Ashram. We stop at a small tea and fruit salad shop overlooking the Ganges. ‘The Office’ has “The best Chai on the planet”.

Optional Trans Bhutan Trail (September 28 - October 04, 2025) 

BHUTAN is known the world over as Shangri-La. It was the mighty Himalayas that protected Bhutan from the rest of the world allowing it to protect this jewel blissfully, untouched. The Drukpa Kagyupa sect of Mahayana Buddhism provided the essence of a rich culture and a fascinating history. Bhutanese protected this sacred heritage and its unique identity for centuries that today it is the country that is setting standards on what the global village should all be about. See Interesting Facts below and experience the impact during our walk at the feet of the Himalayas.

With its beautiful and largely unspoiled rich flora and fauna and its vibrant Buddhist culture, Bhutan has become an increasingly popular destination for tourists from all over the world. Besides being known as the happiest country in the world it is also home to very friendly people. To see Bhutan “on the ground” is to experience this most unique land and its culture right at the core and become part of it every minute of the time we are there.

Our flight takes us from Delhi to Paro in remote Bhutan where we are warmly received. JEN PA LEG SHO (welcome in Dzonghka). A 2hours drive get us to Thimphu, capital of this hidden Kingdom. En route we have a photo stop at Chuzon to see the confluence of the Paro & Thimphu Rivers. Get acclimatised to the clean fresh mountain air which remains with us for the entire duration of our stay in Bhutan.

With a population of a little over 100,000 Thimphu is perhaps the only capital in the world without any traffic lights.

After rest time at our hotel, we take a walk to the National Memorial Chorten, a large white structure crowned with a golden spire. This iconic monument is the ideal spot to interact with the local people, who throng in large numbers in circumambulation the chorten, whirl the large red prayer wheels and pray at the small shrine inside the complex.

As we stroll in the market area, we are introduced to the caliber of the people in designing crafts from wood, textiles, plasters and of making beautiful scarves, a Bhutanese speciality. We end the day with a welcome dinner comprising of local and regional cuisines.

Overnight: Hotel Druk, Thimphu, Deluxe Rooms (2 Nights) (D)

Day 18: September 29, 2025: Thimphu

After breakfast, a short drive gets us to Kuenselphodrang Nature Park where we see Buddha Dordenma located on top of a hill. The statue fulfils an ancient 8th C. prophecy discovered by Terton Pema Lingpa (Religious Treasure Discoverer) and is said to emanate an aura of peace and happiness to the entire world. This massive statue of Shakyamuni made of bronze and gilded in gold, measures 51.5 meters in height, making it one of the largest statues in Bhutan. Over 125,000 smaller Buddha statues have been placed within the gigantic Buddha Dordenma statue, each of which have been cast in bronze and gilded. Here at Buddha point we have the option to perform meditation at a designated area.

The Textile Museum has the patronage of Queen Ashi Sangay Choden and has, as such, reached new heights as one of the most visible distinct forms of Bhutanese arts. The museum has six major themes - warp pattern weaves, weft pattern weaves, the role of textiles in religion, achievements in textile arts, textiles made from indigenous fibres and then a display of the royal collection.

At the National Institute for Zorig Chusum, we see the efforts  made to  preserve and promote 13 traditional arts and crafts of Bhutan. The Institute  offers 4-to-6-year courses in traditional arts and crafts of Bhutan. After lunch at a local restaurant, we explore the Centenary Farmers Market. Popularly known as the Weekend Market. This bustling, colourful market is where farmers from different parts of the country gather to sell their farm products. With its wide assortment of products and its picturesque and colourful setting, the Farmer’s Market is a favourite spot for many.

At the 16th C Pangri Zampa lie the oldest monasteries in Bhutan. Here we see a functioning monastic school where Buddhist student monks learning Lamaism and astrology based on Buddhist philosophy.

Our colorful day at Thimpu ends after visiting Trashichhoedzong, known as the ‘fortress of the glorious religion’. This is the center of government, religion, site of the monarch’s throne room and seat of Je Khenpo or Chief Abbot. It was built in 1641 by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the political and religious unifier of Bhutan. In the 1960’s it  was reconstructed in the traditional Bhutanese style without any nails and architectural plans. (B, L, D)

Day 19: September 30, 2025: Thimphu/Dochula pass/Thinelygang/Punakha

It measures some 600 by 240 feet and has a six-storey, gold-domed tower. Inside are courtyards and religious statuary that hint at the depth of history and spiritual tradition embodied here. Our guide will illuminate our understanding of this intricate culture.

The Chimi Lhakhang, situated on a hillock in the centre of the valley, is known as the temple of fertility. It is widely believed that couples who do not have children pray at this temple to be blessed by one. The trail leads us across rice fields to the tiny settlement of Pana.

It is said that Guru Rinpoche arrived here on the back of a tigress and meditated at this monastery hence it is called ‘Tiger’s Nest’. It has since become a pilgrimage site that Bhutanese visit at least once in their life time.

Later in the afternoon we drive to Drukgyel Dzong, a historically significant fortress where Bhutanese warriors fought Tibetan invaders centuries ago. On the approach road, we see the snowy dome of the sacred Chomolhari, "mountain of goddess''.
