Explore India's Rich Heritage: 7-Day Golden Triangle with Braj Bhoomi Tour
Discover the heart of India with our expertly curated 7-Day Golden Triangle & Braj Region Tour. This tour seamlessly blends the majestic beauty and historical landmarks of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur with the sacred and spiritual charm of Vrindavan and Mathura. Designed for both history enthusiasts and spiritual seekers, this package offers a unique opportunity to explore some of India's most iconic sights, along with the deeply spiritual sites connected to the divine love story of Lord Krishna.
In my decades here, I have been delighted by the rediscovery and revitalization of the city’s culinary culture. From tired and touristy trattorias, Rome’s dining options have flourished with a new wave of eateries that take classic dishes to new heights, update traditional specialties, and inject gourmet verve into street food staples. This has positioned the city as one of Italy’s best for my palate—though less-than-best for my waistband. Here’s how to nibble and sip your way through the Eternal City.
