Tips

If you wish to shorten the trip, consider reducing the Delhi stay to 10 days and swapping a few museum visits in London for a quick city tour; this will cut accommodation and daily expenses roughly in half. To extend the adventure, add a side trip to the historic city of Agra (Taj Mahal) for a day, or spend a weekend in the coastal town of Brighton before heading back to Delhi, allowing for varied experiences without major itinerary changes.
