Day 02 : Delhi

After breakfast, embark on a city tour of New Delhi. Our tour includes a visit to the Qutab Minar – 72 meters high and one of the most perfect towers in the Persian world. The Iron Pillar which has survived the vagaries of weather for over 1500 years. Then, we will continue our expedition with a drive to the Lutyens Delhi which is considered to be the corridors of power and serenity. Our tour also includes a drive pass through the Rashtrapati Bhawan, Parliament House as well a stop at India Gate.

Next, we will continue our journey with a visit to the Humayun’s Tomb (1586). Our tour also includes a visit to the Isa Khan’s Tomb complex and the Safdarjung Tomb. Then, we will make our way to the Agrasen Ki Baoli, a water reservoir or a step well that is known for its heritage architectural value.

Later, we cross the city into the walled gates of the Old city with visits to the Jamma Mosque (1650) and drive through the fabled area of Chandni Chowk (Moonlight Square). We will also visit the Raj Ghat, the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.

The highlight of this tour would be a ride on cycle rickshaws. This is a remarkable way to explore the hustle and bustle as well as the color of the narrow winding streets bursting with people and pavement shops.

Overnight at Hotel (B)

Day 03 : Delhi / Udaipur (Flight)

After a leisurely breakfast, transfer to the airport to board your flight to Udaipur. Welcome to Udaipur, the famed “City of sunrise.” Founded in 1567, it is an oasis of romance in the warrior state of Rajasthan.

Meeting and assistance upon arrival as our representative will welcome you and transfer to the Hotel. After rest and relaxation, we proceed on a tour of this “Lake City”. The huge City Palace towering over the Lake Pichola is the largest palace complex in Rajasthan. The Jagadish temple next to the city palace is a very fine example of Indo-Aryan Art.

Evening we enjoy a boat cruise on the serene and beautiful Lake Pichola. The island palace on the Lake called Jagmandir Palace is quite fascinating and provided inspirations for the builder of the Taj Mahal.

Overnight at Hotel (B)

Day 04 : Udaipur / Ranakpur / Rohet (240 Kms) (05 Hrs Drive)

After breakfast, we drive to Rohet; en route we will visit Ranakpur. The Ranakpur Jain Temple was built in the 15th century and features 1,444 intricately carved columns, all of which are unique.

Following the tour of Ranakpur we continue our drive to Rohet. Upon arrival, check into Rohetgarh, a 16th-century fortified home where you can experience famed Rajput hospitality. Exquisitely carved furniture and original paintings decorate your rooms.

Evening we enjoy jeep safaris to visit the heart of Rajasthan villages. One can witness the ‘opium ceremony’ – a ritual by which guests are welcomed. As evening descends, the darkness is lit up by the flickering flames of fire around which folk dancers perform.

Overnight at Hotel (B)

Day 05 : Rohet – Jaisalmer (280 Kms / 06 Hrs)

Our morning begins with a deep immersion into the soul of Rajasthan through a tribal village safari. This experience is a window into a lifestyle of profound harmony. You will meet the Bishnois, the “premier ecologists of the world,” who have protected nature and the beautiful Black Buck antelope for over 500 years. You’ll also encounter the Raikas (shepherds) in their vibrant costumes and the local weavers and farmers, gaining a rare privilege of being welcomed into their homes to witness a way of life that remains close to its roots.

Later, we drive toward the “Golden City,” Jaisalmer. Rising from the Thar Desert like a mirage, the city is dominated by the Jaisalmer Fort. Etched in yellow sandstone, the citadel houses an entire living township within its 80-meter-high ramparts. As you wander through its medieval lanes, you will discover the intricately carved Havelis of Nathmalji, Patwon, and Salim Singh, all masterpieces of yellow marble that tell stories of the city’s opulent past.

Overnight at Hotel

Day 06 : Jaisalmer – Sam – Jaisalmer

This morning is dedicated to exploring the architectural wonders of the Golden City. We visit the Patwon-Ki-Havelies and Salim-Singh-Ki-Haveli, where the stonework is so fine it resembles lace. We’ll also stop at the Gandhi Sagar Tank and the serene Barabagh Hill, where the royal cenotaphs stand in silent tribute to the past.

In the afternoon, the desert calls. We drive to the Sam Sand Dunes to experience the quintessential Great Indian Thar Desert. As the sun begins its descent, you will enjoy a camel ride across the rolling dunes, watching the sky turn to gold over the vast, quiet expanse of the sands.

Overnight at Hotel

Day 07 : Jaisalmer – Jodhpur (290 Kms / 06 Hrs)

After breakfast, we journey to Jodhpur, the historic capital of the Marwar kingdom founded in 1459. Known as the “Blue City,” Jodhpur offers a striking sight with its sea of indigo-colored houses clustered beneath the massive fort. The rest of your day is at leisure to settle into this majestic city, perhaps catching your first glimpse of the fortress towering above the horizon.

Overnight at Hotel

Day 09 : Jodhpur

We spend the day exploring the “Sun City.” We begin at Mehrangarh Fort, one of the most impressive structures in all of Rajasthan. Perched on a high cliff, its sheer walls are a testament to Rajput power. Inside, you’ll find a series of exquisite courtyards and a museum housing a priceless collection of Marwar artifacts.

We also visit Jaswant Thada, a graceful white marble cenotaph built in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, often called the “Taj Mahal of Marwar.”

In the evening, the pace shifts as we take a horse carriage ride through the Clock Tower Bazaar. It is a vibrant, sensory experience, perfect for witnessing the local life and brilliant colors of the wholesale markets.

Overnight at Hotel

Day 10 : Jodhpur – Jaipur (270 Kms / 06 Hrs)

Today we drive to Jaipur, the “Pink City” and the capital of Rajasthan. Jaipur is a masterpiece of early Indian town planning, blending the tastes of royalty with a bustling metropolitan spirit.

The afternoon is yours to explore the vibrant bazaars. Jaipur is a shopper’s paradise, world-renowned for its gem-studded jewelry, traditional block-printed fabrics, and blue pottery. Walking through these markets is the best way to feel the pulse of this colorful city.

Overnight at Hotel

Day 11 : Jaipur

Our morning begins with a classic romantic experience: an elephant ride ascent to the Amber Fort. Built in 1592, the fort is a stunning fusion of Hindu and Mughal styles, with its forbidding exterior hiding a paradise of painted halls and mirrored alcoves.

Later, we visit the City Palace, a sprawling complex that still serves as a royal residence and houses a magnificent museum. We then move to Jantar Mantar, the largest stone astronomical observatory in the world, whose outsized instruments still provide accurate readings today. Finally, we stop at the Hawa Mahal, the iconic “Palace of Winds,” whose pink latticed facade allowed royal ladies to observe the street life below in total privacy.

Overnight at Hotel

Day 12 : Jaipur – Fatehpur Sikri – Agra (260 Kms / 05 Hrs)

We drive toward Agra, stopping at the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri. This perfectly preserved Mughal capital offers a hauntingly beautiful example of 16th-century town planning and architecture.

Upon arrival in Agra, we visit Mehtab Bagh, or the “Moonlight Garden.” Situated directly across the Yamuna River, this is the most poetic vantage point to view the Taj Mahal, allowing you to see the monument reflected in the river as the light begins to soften.

Overnight at Hotel

Day 13 : Agra – Delhi (210 Kms / 04 Hrs)

At sunrise, we witness the Taj Mahal at its most ethereal. Bathed in the soft pinkish glow of the morning sun, this monument to love surpasses all human imagination. After returning to the hotel for breakfast, we visit the Agra Fort. This red sandstone fortress was the primary residence of the Mughal Emperors and contains the chambers where Shah Jahan spent his final years, gazing out at the Taj Mahal from across the water.

Following the tour, we drive back to Delhi for your final night in the capital.
