Pacific Delight Tours will debut a tour of India's alluring gardens and palaces for travelers requiring a gluten-free diet including Celiacs and those who maintain this diet as a healthy lifestyle choice.

Departing September 21, 2018, this tour features 12 days exploring Old and New Delhi, architecturally significant Chandigarh in India's Punjab region, the "Pink City" of Jaipur in the heart of the Rajasthan desert and culturally rich Agra, home to the world-renowned Taj Mahal.

Guests will enjoy FiveStarPlus accommodations at the luxurious hotels, resorts and spas of the Oberoi Group throughout India.

In Jaipur, guests tour the Palace of Winds, walking through an ancient astronomic observatory designed by a child prince and meeting with a Rajasthani royal for high tea are among the highlights.

Guests then soft trek through an exotic bird sanctuary in Bharatpur and visit the deserted palaces of the "Ghost City" of Fatehpur Sikri before arriving in Agra, where participants will explore the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

Throughout the journey, visitors will be enthralled by the succulent flavors of Indian cuisine which utilizes cream, yogurt or chickpea-based gram flour to thicken sauces in lieu of wheat flour, in addition to delectable Indian breads prepared from lentils-all strictly gluten-free under the guidance and supervision of India's leading celiac support group.

The tour is priced at $5,880 per person, based on double occupancy, and includes: roundtrip economy group airfare from New York's JFK via Emirates; local intra-India flights; deluxe accommodations; sightseeing by air-conditioned coach with knowledgeable English-speaking guides; all meals gluten-free; the services of a gluten-free dietician throughout India; taxes and service charges. Passport and visa fees are not included.

A business-class upgrade is available from $4,700 per person, while travelers who wish to arrange their own flights may join the tour in India; the land-only price is $4,900 per person, double occupancy.

"We are actively working to accommodate the growing demand in the gluten-free market and to apply our 15 years expertise in gluten-free travel to our portfolio of experiences," said Charmaine Lau, manager of Pacific Delight Tours.
