Morning in Old Delhi smells of frying spices and diesel; street vendors call out as tuk-tuks thread between sandstone façades. This eight-day loop drops you into the loud, textured heart of northern India — a sequence of cities where Mughal marble gives way to Rajput battlements and then to teak-lined lakes under wide Rajasthani skies.
