This itinerary was designed to experience the essence of India’s spirituality through the discovery of the Ganges River on the occasion of the Holi festival. The Ganges originates from the Gangotri glacier at Gaumukh in the Himalayas at 4100 meters above sea level and travels through India for 2525 km before flowing into the Bay of Bengal, welcoming the Sundarbans in its broad delta. It is the most sacred river for the Indians, of enormous importance for the Hindus and revered as a deity called ‘Gangaji’ or ‘Ganga maiya’ (Mother Ganges). Hindus believe that performing the rituals in the Ganges amplifies the benefits. This tour will take you to discover the major cities that rise along its banks.
