Memories of the British Empire waft around the frenetic streets of New Delhi. Jaipur recalls the exploits of the Rajput princes while Agra shimmers with the splendour of the great Moghul emperors. Impervious to the winds of time, the gods of India watch over the Ganges as it flows past the temples of Varanasi.

From Delhi, Old and New, to the sculpted temples in the jungle of Madhya Pradesh and the maharajas’ palaces in Rajasthan, This Way Northern India unveils the history, culture and treasures of this captivating region—and includes side-trips to the Brahmaputra, Nepal and Bhutan.
