Cultural India Tour for LGBT Travelers – Golden Triangle with Khajuraho & Varanasi

In the comfort of your own vehicle, tour Delhi's classic sites with a guide who speaks English. See the magnificent Humayun's Tomb, the UNESCO-listed Qutub Minar, and the imperial splendor of India Gate and Rajpath.
Explore Old Delhi's artisan-filled alleys while taking in the Mughal architecture and enjoying some light regional fare. Lunch is planned at a classy café like Olive, Perch, or Rooh that is well-known for its open, safe atmosphere.
Enjoy carefully chosen evening shopping at designer boutiques that cater to worldwide LGBT clients for Indian fashion or home décor.

Spend the night in Delhi.

Take your luxury car to Agra after a lavish breakfast. A unique and unforgettable visual treat is the direct views of the Taj Mahal from your hotel when you check in at The Oberoi Amarvilas.
Explore Agra Fort, a red sandstone fortification with a fascinating history of monarchs and intrigue, after lunch. Later, take in a tranquil sunset at Mehtab Bagh, which is a garden along the river across from the Taj.
Your evening is free for a luxurious spa treatment or exquisite dinner, and the hotel personnel are always discrete and courteous.

Spend the night at Agra.

Take in the Taj Mahal at first light. The monument is the highlight of the tour because of its unadulterated beauty, the softer lighting, and the smaller crowds. Your guide will set some time for reflection and photography.
Drive back to the Delhi airport after breakfast, then get a short flight to Khajuraho. Upon your arrival, check into the Lalit Temple View or Radisson Jass, which were both selected for their proximity to the temples and friendliness.
Spend your evening relaxing or enjoying a well-thought-out light and sound show at the Western Group of Temples.

Stay overnight at Khajuraho.

Explore the well-known Khajuraho temples during the day; they are well-known for their symbolic and sensual sculptures. Learn about the history of sexuality in ancient Hinduism with the assistance of a culturally sensitive guide. Queer tourists frequently like this story for its candor. See the temples in both the Eastern and Western groupings. Additionally, there's time for a relaxing lunch at a garden café, an Ayurvedic massage, or a private yoga session.

Spend the night at Khajuraho.

Take a plane to Varanasi, one of the world's oldest surviving cities. Upon arrival, make your way to your hotel, either the Taj Ganges or the BrijRama Palace, which both offer a private, guest-sensitive setting together with cultural appeal. Experience the revered Ganga Aarti ceremony in the evening from a private boat. It is a profound chanting and light ritual that transcends religion. It serves as a unique spiritual anchor for many LGBT tourists.

In Varanasi, spend the night.

Get up early for a Ganges dawn boat cruise. Witness the captivating window into India's spiritual rhythm as locals start their days with prayers and bathing customs. After breakfast, explore silk weaving studios that produce handcrafted textiles, the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, and the Buddhist shrine of Sarnath. Before your last night in India, you can choose to have a quiet café or a private meal.
