Holi Festival Tour from Delhi

Meet your chauffeur early at your Delhi hotel, Delhi airport, or chosen location, and journey to Agra by private, climate-controlled vehicle. Once the pick-up is done, you will be driving via India's finest expressway for a 3-hour drive to Agra - City of Love. On arrival, our company representative will help you to do check-in at the hotel. After that, if you permit your guide will take you to a local Agra sightseeing of The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Or else in the evening you will be taken to a local Hindu family house to celebrate the rituals of Holika Dahan ( Holi Festival Prayer). It is believed that all sorts of fear can be conquered by doing Holika Puja on Holi. Holika Puja bestows power, prosperity and wealth. It is believed that Holika was created to ward off all sorts of fear. Hence Holika, although a Demoness, is worshipped along with Prahlada before Holika Dahan. In Hindu mythology, Holika Puja is suggested before Holika Dahan. It should be done at an appropriate time after consulting Hindu Panchang. People start gathering wood for the lighting of the bonfire called Holika at the major crossroads of the city or at the society premises. This ritual ensures that at the time of the actual celebration a huge pile of wood is collected. On the next day, there is no tradition of holding puja, and the day is for partying and pure enjoyment. After the Holika Dahan celebration come back to your hotel and rest for the day.

The chauffeur will be waiting for you at the Hotel lobby to take you to the holiday celebration with a local Indian family. Holi festival is for partying and pure enjoyment. Children and young people form groups armed with dry colours, coloured solution and water guns, water balloons filled with coloured water, and other creative means to colour their targets. Bollywood music adds more enjoyment and happiness to the festival. Enjoy local festival food like Dhahi Bhalla, Chila, Gulab Jamun, and Kulfi while dancing and colouring your near and dear ones. Enjoy a buffet lunch at the end of the celebration. Later on, head back to your hotel and take a shower as you might be filled with every colour on your body. Relax for the day and enjoy an evening at the hotel or explore nearby streets.

After breakfast headed back to Delhi via India's finest expressway. The chauffeur will drop you at the hotel or New Delhi airport. Tour ends here.
