India

On cultural trips to India, you can experience Jaipur, also called the Pink City. Here it is especially the architectural marvel of the Hawa Mahal which is an impressive sight. In addition, with Tourist Travel you can experience India’s holiest city, Varanasi, due to its location on the Ganges River. It is said that if one bathes in the Ganges river at Varanasi, which is the city of the Hindu god Shiva, one’s sins will be forgiven. Here you will also get an insight into the Indian culture by e.g. the special evening ceremony, Aarti. Sarnath is located north of Varanasi and is a Buddhist place of pilgrimage, known as the place where the Buddha taught his first disciples and gave his first sermon. The immediate greatest cultural experience in India is the unique and mighty tomb monument, Taj Mahal. In the surrounding area there is an incredible calm despite the many tourists.

Nepal

On a cultural trip to Nepal with Tourist Travel, you will experience something unique every day. Experience the mystery of the East in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, which forms the fascinating world of all of Asia in one city. Kathmandu is packed with cultural attractions that are primarily dominated by Hinduism. You can visit Nepal’s most important Hindu temple, Pashupatihnat, as well as the largest, Taleju.
