You step out of the car into Delhi's humid morning and the city unfurls: narrow alleys, soldered brass stalls and the distant silhouette of Jama Masjid. Over nine days the route threads between imperial red sandstone and the polished white of the Taj, then climbs the foothills to where the Ganges gathers itself into a ritual of light at Haridwar and Rishikesh.
