Delhi, India’s capital, is more than just a city—it is an unfolding chronicle of empires. Wander through its dynamic streets and you’ll sense the echoes of the Mughals, British, and ancient dynasties in its architecture and spirit. From ancient tombs to colonial avenues, Delhi is an enthralling juxtaposition of the old and the new. Rest and rejuvenate after your journey—your Indian adventure is just beginning.

Day 02 Delhi Sightseeing & Drive to Agra (203 km | 3–4 hours)

After breakfast, embark on a discovery of Delhi’s diverse charms. Drive past the grandeur of Parliament House and India Gate, then visit Humayun’s Tomb, a magnificent precursor to the Taj Mahal. Admire the lofty Qutub Minar, and find peace at the lotus-shaped Bahá’í Temple. Visit the serene National War Memorial and drive by the majestic Red Fort. By afternoon, begin your journey to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. Once the capital of the Mughal Empire, Agra awaits with its rich artistic and architectural legacy. Overnight stay in Agra.

Day 04 Sunrise at the Taj Mahal & Drive to Ranthambore (300 km | 6 hrs)

Rise early to witness the ethereal beauty of the Taj Mahal bathed in the soft glow of dawn—a moment that stays etched in your heart forever. After breakfast back at your hotel, visit the impressive Agra Fort, a sprawling Mughal fortress of red sandstone and marble. En route to Ranthambore, stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the mysterious abandoned capital of Emperor Akbar. Marvel at its majestic Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, and the intricately carved palaces and halls. Continue your journey to Ranthambore, once a royal hunting ground, now a renowned national park. Check in and unwind amid the rustic wilderness.

Note: Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays.

Day 04 Into the Wild – Ranthambore Jungle Safari

Awaken with the forest and set off for a morning jungle safari in Ranthambore National Park. Keep your eyes peeled for the majestic Bengal tiger, elusive leopards, and vibrant birdlife amid ancient ruins and banyan-draped temples. After breakfast and some rest at your lodge, enjoy a hearty lunch before your evening safari—another chance to witness the drama of the wild unfold at dusk. Return to your lodge to relax under the starry sky, with the distant sounds of the forest serenading your dreams.

Day 05 Drive to Jaipur – The Royal Pink City (190 km | 3–4 hrs)

After breakfast, journey to Jaipur, Rajasthan’s flamboyant capital, where rose-tinted palaces and bustling bazaars await. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and refresh. Later, visit the majestic Amber Fort, a hilltop palace of marble halls, mirror chambers, and sweeping views. Learn about its Rajput history and admire the intricate blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. For an optional evening experience, consider Chokhi Dhani, a cultural village resort that offers traditional Rajasthani cuisine with folk dances, puppet shows, and camel rides.

Day 06 Jaipur City Tour & Local Markets

Begin your day with a visit to the City Palace, an opulent complex of courtyards and museums still home to the royal family. Explore Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory centuries ahead of its time. Make a photostop at the Hawa Mahal, the iconic ‘Palace of Winds’ with its delicate façade. The afternoon is yours to explore Bapu Bazaar, a treasure trove of Rajasthani crafts—shop for colorful bandhani textiles, juttis (traditional shoes), lac bangles, and handwoven rugs. Overnight stay in Jaipur.

As evening falls, witness the golden hues of sunset over the lake—an atmosphere charged with serenity and devotion.

Day 08 Scenic Drive to Udaipur – The City of Lakes (300 km | 6–7 hrs)

Enjoy a scenic drive through the rugged Aravalli Hills as you make your way to Udaipur, often called the “Venice of the East.” Pause en route for lunch and soak in the desert landscapes gradually giving way to emerald lakes.

Begin your exploration of Udaipur with a visit to the City Palace, a sprawling architectural marvel perched above the lake, its courtyards, balconies, and galleries offering breathtaking views. Visit Saheliyon Ki Bari, the 'Garden of Maidens,' known for its fountains, lotus pools, and marble pavilions. Continue to the ornate Jagdish Temple, a fine example of Indo-Aryan architecture. In the evening, set off on a sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola, where the palaces seem to float like mirages, creating a romantic finale to your day.
