Delhi and Khajuraho reveal an India itinerary that can move beyond the classic gateway city and into a layered mix of history, wildlife, food, art, and cultural depth. Vivian Peres, Director of Ventours, joins as an India-based DMC expert with decades of firsthand experience designing high-touch travel across the region. The conversation explores how to position Delhi as a meaningful three-night stay, how Khajuraho has evolved from a one-night temple stop into a two- or three-night experience, and how Panna National Park adds a strong tiger safari component to the journey. Travel Advisors will hear practical insight on routing through Delhi, Varanasi, Khajuraho, Agra, and Rajasthan, along with guidance on seasonality, transportation preferences, private guiding, shopping, wellness, museums, and culinary experiences. Tune in for a sharper understanding of how to design India itineraries that feel personal, well-paced, and deeply connected to place.
