Days 1-2
Delhi
Your journey begins in India’s vibrant capital. Upon arrival in New Delhi, you’ll be transferred to the luxurious Taj Mahal Hotel for a two-night stay. The first evening is left at leisure to unwind. The following day, immerse yourself in the contrasts of the city. In New Delhi, tree-lined boulevards and grand colonial architecture set the scene as you explore key landmarks with your guide. Later, the pace shifts as you travel by cycle rickshaw through Old Delhi. Pass the Red Fort before entering the maze of Chandni Chowk, alive with spice markets, street vendors, and centuries of history layered into every turn.

Agra
An early train takes you to Agra, where you’ll spend two nights at The Oberoi Amarvilas, a hotel renowned for its views of the Taj Mahal. That evening, watch the white marble monument blush pink and gold in the light of sunset. The following morning offers the ultimate reward: the Taj Mahal at sunrise, bathed in an ethereal glow. After breakfast, continue your exploration with a guided visit to Agra Fort, once the seat of Mughal power. The afternoon is yours to relax, or you might choose to visit Mehtab Bagh with its spectacular views across the Yamuna river.

Jaipur
Leaving Agra, journey by road to the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur, pausing to explore the UNESCO-listed Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned red-sandstone city built by Emperor Akbar. Stay for 2 nights at Rambagh Palace, once a royal residence and now a magnificent heritage hotel. The next day begins at Amber Fort, an extraordinary hilltop fortress with ornate courtyards and mirrored halls, reached by jeep. In the afternoon, wander Jaipur’s colourful bazaars, where vibrant textiles, jewellery, and handicrafts showcase Rajasthan’s artistry.
