There are nth possibilities of such a tour in Northern India. It all depends when you wish to visit India & what are your specific interests. An itinerary can be tailored to fit you & not the other way round, much like shooting in the Bunker Trap where the gun must fit you!!
I have given a vivid description of what you can expect in Himachal, in another post, a minute abreast. You have other choices to make like Rishikesh where you can see Hindu mysticism at close quarters. Rajasthan is full of those lovely fort-palaces where every stone has a story to tell, as much as normal touristic places.
Some bold spirits are as yet fighting for the Indian wild-life & tigers. We have a couple of great tiger reserves in north India. In one such destination you can stay inside the park & listen to the animal calls at night, adding pleasure to an already amazing setting.
The temples, some of them done in stone, what it would be difficult to achieve on canvass & not necessarily all religious images but also rooted in those ancient contemporaneous times, could be a part of your plan.
Happy travels!

Bravo for the above, Mr Singh! Why not support an excellent "home grown" service, rather than a huge company with branches in every city in the world?
If it were not possible to get a great Indian company tour, it might be different, but there are wonderful "local" companies. Their owners and employees know particular regions well...because they live there!

The best "small" tours are the ones for you alone. Any of the India travel agencies can set one up for you. Do your research - decide where you want to go, then ask several of the well-recommended companies mentioned here on Fodors to give you a price.
