Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: Delhi Arrival
Location: Delhi
Accommodation Name: hotel
Welcome to India! Delhi is a monumental city with a vibrant mix of old and new teeming bazaars, British boulevards, powerful Mughal palaces and forts, and intricate, ethereal towers, temples, and tombs. Upon arrival at Delhi International Airport, you will be met and assisted by our company representative and transferred to your hotel.
Overnight in Delhi
Day 2: Delhi - Agra (205 Kms / 3 Hrs) (B/-/-)
Location: Agra
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Today you will tour the old and new counterparts of Delhi. Get ready to visit Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhis serene and evocative cremation site, India Gate (the War Memorial) and the Presidents House (from the outside), and the Bahai Lotus Temple (closed on Mondays); this lotus-shaped marvel in marble is a symbol of peace. From there you will continue your tour to the Qutub Minar, a stunning 240-foot brick minaret, the tallest in the world surrounded by an elaborate complex built in the Indo-Islamic architectural tradition. Drive to the medieval city of Agra, home to the world-famous Taj Mahal. Agra is one of the prime tourist spots in India for this reason, although its attractions also extend to a wide range of other historical sights. The Taj, however, is in a league of its own and is a must-see for any visitor to the city. Commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 15th century as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz Mahal, it is an architectural masterpiece of exquisite craftsmanship and perfect proportions. Enjoy your evening at leisure (no services offered). You may explore the citys hidden alleyways and lively spice markets, hop on a cycle rickshaw, and admire colorful Hindu temples and traditional mosques. Or you may visit a local restaurant to enjoy incredible Indian food.
Overnight in Agra
Day 3: Agra (B/-/-)
Location: Agra
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Visit the Taj Mahal (closed on Fridays). Considered the pinnacle of Mughal art in India, the Taj Mahal was built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal. When declaring it a World Heritage Site, UNESCO described it as “the jewel of Muslim art in India”. Few words can describe the magnificence of this monument. Marvel over the transforming light and colors of this breathtaking monument in the beautiful dawn glow. Return to your hotel and later take a marble craftsmanship demonstration.
Overnight in Agra
Day 4: Agra - Jaipur (250 Kms / 5 Hrs) (B/-/-)
Location: Jaipur
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Drive to Jaipur with an en-route visit to Fatehpur Sikri — an eerily abandoned capital from the Mughal Empire between 1570 and 1586. Akbar built this city to celebrate the birth of his son and future heir to the throne, Emperor Jahangir. While Akbar is believed to have been illiterate, he took great interest in the arts and architecture; Fatehpur Sikri is one of his famous works. Sadly, it served as the capital for little more than a decade and was eventually abandoned for a lack of access to water. Later, take a demonstration of gem-cutting and polishing. In the evening you will check in to the hotel upon arrival. Jaipur, Rajasthans capital is also known as the Pink City. The origin of this nickname will become immediately apparent as you enter the old city walls and greet the pink-colored buildings rising at every turn.
Overnight in Jaipur
Day 5: Jaipur (B/-/-)
Location: Jaipur
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Begin your day with an exhilarating excursion to Amber Fort. Perched on a hillside on the outskirts of town, the palace was constructed in the 1590s by Maharaja Man Singh, the commander of Akbars army, and was largely motivated by the highly defensible location. This is a beautiful and very well-preserved structure, built on four levels and surrounded by ruins, which served as the backdrop for the Mira Nair movie “Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love.” Spend your afternoon at leisure or perhaps join our optional tour.
Overnight in Jaipur
Day 6: Jaipur - Pushkar (140 Kms /3.5 Hrs) (B/-/-)
Location: Pushkar
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Before breakfast, join the optional tour of Hot Air Ballooning over Jaipur at sunrise. This morning you will drive to Pushkar, a sacred city for Hindus. Surrounded by hills on three sides and dunes on the fourth, Pushkar boasts a fascinating location and a befitting backdrop for the annual religious and cattle fair (held in November). As a quiet and secluded desert town for 51 weeks a year, for just a few days it transitions into an incredible and authentic extravaganza during the annual Pushkar Fair. Drawing people from all around the world, this is also possibly the largest camel and cattle-trading fair in the world. Upon arrival in Pushkar, you will check in to your hotel. Head on a walking tour of the holy city of the God, Brahma; visit the Pushkar Lake and the famous 8th century Brahma Temple dedicated to Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe and the only bull temple in the world. Experience a special Pooja ceremony at a Ghat with a Hindu priest on the banks of Pushkar Lake.
Overnight in Pushkar
Day 7: Pushkar - Udaipur (260 Kms / 5 Hrs) (B/-/-)
Location: Udaipur
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
After breakfast, you will drive to Udaipur. Udaipur is a majestic city of lakes and palaces. Founded by Maharana Udai Singh in 1559 and fondly referred to as Rajasthans most romantic city, its rich history is matched by its picturesque setting among the Aravalli Mountains and three manmade lakes. Upon arrival in Udaipur, you will check in to your hotel. After a short period of rest, choose to explore the city on your own or join our optional tour.
Overnight in Udaipur
Day 8: Udaipur (B/-/-)
Location: Udaipur
Accommodation Name: hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast
Your day will begin at the City Palace, overlooking the blue waters of Lake Pichola. Maharana Udai Singh initiated construction in 1559 A.D., which was subsequently expanded, with impressive uniformity, by several succeeding Maharanas. The palace boasts plenty of beautiful courtyards and gardens. The main hall has been converted into a museum, housing opulent artifacts and original works of art. Inside the complex you will find the exquisite crystal gallery, exhibiting 19th-century pieces including crystal chandeliers, tables, sofas, and beds. We will continue walking to the Jagdish Temple to study its many remarkable friezes. Lavishly built in 1651 by Maharana Jagat Singh, it is easy to understand why Jagdish is the most respected Hindu temple in Udaipur. Afterward, we will explore the Old City, wandering through the bustling streets lined with art shops, spice vendors, tailors, and more.
Overnight in Udaipur
Day 9: Udaipur - Delhi - Usa (B/-/-)
Location: Udaipur
Meals Included: Breakfast
After breakfast, you will transfer to Udaipur Airport for your flight to Delhi and connect to your international flight home.
