Indian Mutiny and Cultural Tour

The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising in India in 1857–58 against the rule of the British East India Company, which functioned as a sovereign power on behalf of the British Crown. The rebellion began on 10 May 1857 in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the Company’s army in the garrison town of Meerut.

The rebellion posed a considerable threat to British power in that region, and was contained only with the rebels’ defeat in Gwalior on 20 June 1858. On 1 November 1858, the British granted amnesty to all rebels not involved in murder, though they did not declare the hostilities to have formally ended until 8 July 1859.

Indian Mutiny Tour

Tour highlights.

Indian Mutiny Tour

Tour Overview

India, as a land of great diversity, was known to all for many centuries. Since then, it witnessed several wars, the most important of them being between the Mughals and the Britishers. The journey that totally led to the development of the country dates back to the 17th and 18th centuries when imperial rule had been firmly established,and a rebellion had just started to spark off. Once the East India Company had been established, various centres of the country were ruled by them and therefore, places like Meerut, Lucknow and even Agra, acquired nationalistic importance.

This tour is all about covering the destinations that take you through the various phases of the battle of Independence, the soldiers who fought bravely and what significance it holds in present-day society.

Travel to Meerut and visit the St. Johns Church

City tour of historical places in Delhi

Travel to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal

Explore historical sites in Lucknow and Kanpur

After you arrive at the Delhi airport, you would be greeted by our executives and will be escorted to your hotel for an overnight stay.

Our first destination is Meerut, which is considered to be the centre of the actual uprising in 1857. We visit the church, which goes by the name of St John’s Church, established in 1819 and dedicated to Bishop Wilson. Around 15000 people can be accommodated in the church. During the battle period, the church was the place of fighting between the armies of the British and the Indians. We then visit the cemetery of St John’s Church, where all the generals were buried. We then visit Lekha Nagar and go through the parade grounds in the cantonment area. The marshals who gave rise to the mutiny are stated to be John Finn, Carmichael Smith, all of whom are buried in the parade ground. Other important grounds along the mutiny road happen to be the Kali Paltan Temple.

We then go back to Delhi for an overnight stay.

Delhi is one of the old architectural capitals, known to have ruled by the Mughals in the 17th and 18th centuries. There are forts and mosques aplenty here along with the old lanes. We will visit the Red Fort, the Telegraph Office, Kashmiri gate, Willoughby’s Plaque, Skinner’s Church and also the tomb of St Nicholas. We will then see the Northern Ridge, Mutiny memorial, which is also made of red sandstone. We will continue onwards to the Hindoo Rao's House, then the Civil Lines, Kingsway Camp and ultimately the Coronation Park. We then head to the hotel for an overnight stay.

After having breakfast, we embark on our journey to Agra. In between, we will visit the Tomb of Akbar. We then see the famous 18th-century structure, the Agra Fort, where around 600 of the British men were incarcerated. There is the Pearl Mosque, the Public garden inside the fort. We then go for the grandeur beauty, the Taj Mahal, which was built by Shah Jahan in memory of Mumtaz Mahal. After Agra, we board the train for Lucknow. We reach Lucknow in the morning.

After arrival at Lucknow in the morning, we check in at the hotel. Lucknow is known for its grandeur beauty as this is the place that was ruled by the Nawabs and is historically very rich.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we will start our Lucknow tour with the Residency, which was built by the Britishers. Considered to be themain centre of the uprising, the place is now a cemetery, where the slain soldiers were buried. We will see the gravestone of Sir Henry Lawrence, who died in the battle. We will then go-to Sikandar Bagh and then to La Martiniere School. There is an overnight stay at the hotel in Lucknow.

In the morning, we drive to Kanpur, which was a place of great significance during the mutiny. We will first visit the famous Wheeler’s entrenchment, and then the All Soul’s Church, in the cantonment area. The church has the engravings of the victims there. After that, we will see the Ganges in Kanpur and the Sati Chaura Ghat. After that, we will visit the Memorial Park, the hanging trees, the Bibi Ghar well.

On the same day itself, we return to Lucknow and stay at the hotel overnight.

The morning is totally free, and you can simply enjoy at your leisure. We will then ravel to Delhi by the Shatabdi Express in the later part of the day and check-in at the hotel for an overnight stay.

In the morning, we will see the Qutub Minar, which is an ancient landmark of the old city. We will then go back to the hotel for check-out, and our executives would drop you off at the airport for your onward journey.

The Indian Mutiny

Large wooden doors and decorated facade of Gwalior Fort, Madhya Pradesh

12 days from £3300 per person

Route: Delhi – Agra – Gwalior – Lucknow – Kanpur – Delhi

The Indian Mutiny of 1857 was the bloodiest insurrection in the history of the British Empire when, for a time, the very fate of British India hung in the balance. This unique journey covers the three main centres of resistance - Old Delhi, Lucknow and Kanpur as well as Agra where the British were besieged for three months, Gwalior where the last major battle was fought, and Jhansi, the home of the celebrated Rani who died in battle and is still revered in India today. Please note that this is a private journey in North India using local guides rather than an expert-led military tour.

ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS

Understand the effect events of 1857 had on Delhi with a walking tour of the old city which includes Kashmiri Gate, the British Cemetery, St James Church and the Viceregal Lodge.

Lucknow is the largest city in Uttar Pradesh. In 1857 the British East India Company took over the wealthy city from the local Nawabs, but suffered in the subsequent Indian Mutiny.

The city of Kanpur is indelibly linked to the uprising and its worst tragedies. Here visit All Saints Memorial Church, Wheeler’s Entrenchment site, Massacre Ghat and Nana Rao Park.

The Great Indian Mutiny

By Parveen Paul , independent tour guide in India

The Mughal Emperors of India bestowed upon themselves seemingly appropriate grand and pompous titles such as `Kings of the World’ & Shadows of God’. Attracted by the Mughal wealth and splendor, European traders and entrepreneurs found their way to the fascinating Indian sub-continent. India was till then believed to be the richest country in the world.

By the mid 18th century (1757) the British East India Company slowly and gradually gained commercial and military control of the Mughal Empire, while subdued Mughal Emperors continued to live powerless but luxurious lives in magnificent palaces. There was much discontent among Indian rulers over annexation of their territories and the divide and rule policies of the British and many parts of North India were rife with rumours and suspicions. However, the lack of the feeling of Indianness, among the masses who were ruled by various princely states prevented the formation of a united opposition to British rule. The undercurrents of rebellion by the Indian Sepoys ( sipahi in Hindi meaning soldier) festered over a period of time owing to various harsh steps taken by the British and in 1857 when some measures hurt religious sentiments it took the shape of a full rebellion against British India control.

On this tightly packed tour you will be visiting significant palaces, forts, monuments and cities of the Mughal period which was witness to The Mutiny -the uprising against British control. It was a crude and brutal war, with both sides resorting to what will now be described as war crimes. In the end, however, in terms of sheer numbers, the casualties were significantly higher on the Indian side. There are many tales of cruelty, cowardice, heroism and self-sacrifice on either side. Much has been debated ever since Mangal Pandey sparked the revolt or The Rising as to whether this was a war of independence or just a revolt firmly crushed by the British but the truth is that the British continued to rule for another ninety years only to be subdued by a non violent struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi.

This journey takes you down that period in history when Delhi was not yetthe capital of India but the seat of the fading Mughal Empire , when the British East India Company was to hand over the controls directly to the Queen, Meerut where the rebellion started, Lucknow which was then the most splendid city of India, Kanpur the scene of many bloddy battles and Agra an important historical city with the crowning glory of Mughal architecture the Taj Mahal a poem in white marble, mesmerising you with a story of an undying love.

Cultural tours in India

A gin and tonic is so crucial to the experience of our specially chartered river cruise from Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, that we include a free quota. This is just one of the vivid experiences of the Subcontinent that we offer on our cultural tours of a rich and varied land with unique links to the British Empire.

Meticulously planned, led by a variety of expert lecturers, and distinguished by exclusive access, the itineraries take in the ancient sites of Hinduism, notably the sacred city of Varanasi, and the art and architecture of the Mughals, of which the Taj Mahal is the finest expression; explore the old kingdoms of the Deccan Plateau, including the extraordinary ruined city of Hampi; and do justice to the British legacy, from the ‘Indian Mutiny’ of 1857 to the Raj architecture of old Calcutta. In the south we enjoy the gastronomy of Kerala and in the north take the famous ‘toy train’ though Himalayan foothills to Shimla. And we never stint on the sundowner moments.

Kanpur Mutiny Tour

Revisiting Cawnpore of 1857

Believed to have been settled by an ancient Hindu king, referred as Kanpur , the area was of little significance till about 1765. By the treaty of Faizabad, in 1775, the East India Company engaged to supply a brigade for the defence of the frontier of Oudh, and Cawnpore was selected as the station for the forces, with a subsidy being paid by the protected country (Oude) for the maintenance of the troops. Subsequently, in 1801 Lord Wellesley commuted this payment for the surrender of the district to the company’s territory, thus it gained an important barrier against the threatened invasion of the south, from Kabul and Afghanistan. Cawnpore immediately rose into one of the most important of the company’s garrisons.

Cawnpore Cantonment, that was quite distinct from the native city, was spread over an extent of six miles, in a semicircular form, along the banks of river Ganges. Hundreds of colonial bungalows, residences of British officers, standing midst well laid gardens, interspersed with forest trees. The barracks of the troops , with a separate bazaar for each regiment were a treat to one’s eyes. The breadth of Ganges at Cawnpore, in the dry season, is about five hundred yards, but when the rains filled it up, its bed stretched more than a mile.

On this very exclusive curated tour – ‘Revisiting Cawnpore of 1857’, we take you through the areas that were the focus of the siege. We try and understand how this bloodiest siege progressed to a conclusive end, when General Havelock freed Cawnpore of the shadows of the rebels.

An exclusive car for drive to and from Lucknow and visit sites of siege in Kanpur.

Pickup from and drop off  at any hotel in Lucknow or Kanpur.

Light refreshments & unlimited bottled water on board in the car.

Services of an exclusive Mutiny Specialist English Speaking Guide and entrances.

Privileged permissions to visit sites which otherwise are inaccessible.

Use of transport other than the use on this tour.

Visits of any other monuments apart from subject related (may be covered by paying entrances).

Any meals other than lunch at designated restaurant on this tour.

Any other beverage, other than bottled water.

Touring since 1994…

‘Revisiting Cawnpore of 1857′ takes you through the sites in Cawnpore (Kanpur) that were involved in the bloodiest siege – call it a story of trust betrayal and where the most barbaric acts took place on both sides of warring front till Havelock took control of the situation before moving to Lucknow.

In Kanpur visit, Wheeler’s Entrenchment , All Soul’s Church, Sati Chaura Ghat & Bibi Ghar. Also an opportunity to optionally include Old British Cemetery.

India celebrates sepoy mutiny 1857, up govt puts sites on tourist tours, the state government beckons foreigners via graveyard tourism while cashing in on the history of british raj as india gets ready to celebrate 150th year of her first war of independence..

Listen to Story

indian mutiny tours

The tourism directorate has been working on a comprehensive plan to attract 'Mutiny tourists' and help them understand the events and the people involved. The plan includes identifying the sites, cleaning them up, providing signboards with details of the events. It will also print pamphlets and posters to enlighten the tourists and educate the locals about the mutineers so that they draw inspiration from history.

As anybody who has read the history of the country's struggle for freedom would be aware, the first war of Independence was fought mainly in Uttar Pradesh. The origin of the Mutiny revolved around Mangal Pandey, a brave sepoy from Ballia, who revoltedin Barrackpore in Kolkata on May 8, 1857 against bullets greased with animal fat. He was tried and executed and his execution led to a revolt in far-flung Meerut.

THE MUTINY MEMORIAL TOUR

indian mutiny tours

Courtesy: The Last Empire – Sikh Cavalry with Lt. Meacham & station officer Anderson at Lucknow, March 1858. Picture by Felice A. Beato However, you could also begin your journey in a quiet boutique guesthouse in Delhi, ideal for those not partial to large luxury hotels.

Your site seeing destinations in Delhi takes you to all the monuments related to the uprising of 1857, the battle field of Badli-Ki-Serai, the ridge, Kashmiri Gate, The Red Fort, James Skinners church, General Nicolson’s cemetery, the victory memorial & the Rajpur cemetery, resting place to about 1000 British troops, who gave their best on the field of battle & the Humayun Tomb, where the Mughal princes were taken by William Hodson.

Meerut (Mirath) lies 40 miles north east of Delhi and one of the strongest of cantonments , a regiment of British Cavalry, a battalion of infantry & riflemen; your next site seeing destination. Perhaps a decisive action, for a ‘blow in time saves nine’ could have nipped the rising in the bud. You shall be visiting the St. John’s church (c.1819) the oldest in northern India, scene of heavy fighting; the nearby cemetery where rest in peace John McNabb, the young lieutenant who correctly assessed the mood of sepoys & reported to the command. The Parade Ground where 85 sepoys of NI were court martialled; Residence of Carmichael Smyth, the commandant of the 3rd light Cavalry; the British & Indian Cantonments, where the conflagration actually started. Return to Delhi.

The tour next takes you through Agra Fort, where the officers, civilians, women & children remained garrisoned before arrival of the relief.

And since you are in that neck of the woods, a morning visit to the Taj Mahal is not too out of place, for, after the return to normalcy many a parties were held under the moonlit night on it’s marble plinth, restored by Lord Curzon in the year 1905!

Your next port of call is Gwalior & Jhansi, home to the brave Rani, who lost her kingdom to Dalhousie’s doctrine. You shall visit the Queen’s Palace; the Jockna Baug & the Jhansi Fort.

Overnight at Orchha on the banks of the Betwa river.

Your next destination is Cawnpore (Kanpur), regrettably, associated with the darkest deeds of the mutiny where British men, women & children were massacred, the Satichaura Ghats, which impelled the British to show no mercy when the town was retaken by Major Renaud, with instructions…”The villages of Mubgoon and neighbourhood to be attacked and destroyed; slaughter all men; take no prisoners…Futtehpore to be promptly attacked, the Pathan quarters to be destroyed, all in it killed; in fact make a signal example of this place”! You shall visit the All Saints memorial church at Wheelers entrenchment, the Massacre Ghats, the Bibighur & the place where the Bridge of Boats existed.

The epic siege and relief of Lucknow, lies 60 miles to the east & your next destination. You shall however, first pay your homage to General Havelock who lies buried some 5 miles short of Lucknow. You shall visit the Burra Immambara, The Machhi Bhawan, Shah Najaf a rebel stronghold, The Secunder Bagh. You shall also visit The Le Martinier Boys School & pay your homage to Gen. Claude Martin. William Hodson lies buried nearby at Dilkusha. To end an interesting day, you shall today visit the well preserved British Residency.

Finally, after a short flight you shall arrive in Calcutta, where it all started in the Brahmin dominated 34th & 19th NI, stationed at Barrack pore & Behrampur. You shall sail to Barrack Pore and visit the cantonment, the Lat Bagaan (Viceroys garden), before driving back on India’s oldest metalled road, the Barrackpore Trunk Road. You shall visit the Victoria Memorial, St. John’s church, the Park street cemetery, past Ochtorlony’s column at the maidan, Chowringhee & the writers building.

You could further opt for an extension tour to Kanha, the area made famous by Dunbar Brander, as an officer of the Imperial Forest Service, for a few nights at the Flame of the Forest, located on the river Banjaar!
