Delhi is made up of seven ancient cities, spanning the period from the 11th to 20th centuries. Delhi has seen the rise and fall of many emperors, which has left behind a plethora of monuments that commemorates the grandeur and glory of bygone ages. Very few cities in the world can express such a profusion of architectural styles.
Hotel: The Imperial, Heritage Room

The Imperial
This is New Delhi's landmark Hotel, located on Janpath, the erstwhile Queensway. The restored 1930's Victorian - style building is a perfect combination of old-world charm and modern day conveniences. A unique four - story, low rise, the Imperial is just steps away from the renowned shopping and commercial district, Connaught Place.

Day 2: Delhi

• Breakfast at the hotel.
• Sightseeing tour of Old Delhi

After a leisurely breakfast, your guide will meet you for a full day sightseeing tour of Old and New Delhi.

The tour will begin with a visit to Raj Ghat, a simple memorial to Mahatma Gandhi; drive past the Red Fort continuing to the Jama Masjid or Friday Mosque, walk down the narrow streets of Chandni Chowk to reach mosque. It is the largest mosque in India, accommodating up to 25,000 worshippers at one time. Designed by Shah Jahan, this grand red sandstone and white marble mosque was built by approximately 5,000 artisans from 1644 to 1656. You will take a short rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk.

Post sightseeing enjoy your lunch at the famous The Lodi Garden Restaurant. The earthy and organic sensibility of the restaurant is emphasized by lush botanical surroundings, pebbled walkways, cane & wooden furniture and bamboo railings. The wooden floor is a blend of canes, wood, leather and stone that display exotic design patterns. The emphasis has been to blend additional construction, furniture, décor and other man-made intrusions into the natural environment of the restaurant space that is an extension of Lodhi Gardens itself.

The tour to Imperial Delhi will include a visit to the Qutub Minar; the five-storied tower with a 14.4meter base that tapers up to two and a half meters at the top is visible for a long distance around. Then visit Humayun’s tomb, built by the widow of the second Mughal Emperor, Humayun. It is an outstanding monument in the Indo-Persian style, a precursor of the Taj Mahal.

In the evening enjoy a special dinner at the Spice route restaurant at your hotel. Adorned with traditional Thai sculptures from the Chiang Mai region in northern Thailand, the courtyard is a visual spectacle.
Hotel: The Imperial, Heritage Room

Day 3: Delhi – Agra

• Breakfast at the hotel
• Depart by surface for Agra
• En-route visit Sikandra
• Visit Taj Mahal at Sunset
• Enjoy private dinner near the Pool under the stars  
• Overnight stay in Agra  

Today depart by surface for Agra (approx. 4 hours 30 minutes) and en-route visit Akbar Mausoleum in Sikandra.
It is on the same side of the river Yamuna as the Taj. Sikandra was built in 1492 by Sikander Lodhi, a ruler of one of the last dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate. Akbar, in his time, ordered the construction of Sikandra again, this time as a site for his mausoleum but he died before it could be completed. His son, Jehangir, completed this work in 1613. The tomb is a combination of Muslim and Hindu architectural styles. The building is of red sandstone and is four stories tall, approximately 31 meters in height. The first three stories are of red sandstone, while the fourth is entirely of marble.

Post your visit at Sikandra, a short drive brings you to your hotel, The Oberoi Amarvilas.

Today early evening by sunset visit the Taj Mahal which the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan built in 1630 AD to enshrine the mortal remains of his beloved Queen Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal manifests the wealth and luxury of Mughal art as seen in its architecture and garden design, painting, and calligraphy. The 144 foot double dome of the Taj is capped with a finial and the four minarets each 131 ft. high and crowned by an open octagonal pavilion highlight the perfect symmetry of the tomb.

The filigree screen, meant to veil the area around the royal tomb was carved out of single block of marble. The Mughals believed that flowers were the symbols of the divine realm, thus in the Taj, pietra dura has been extensively used to translate naturalistic forms into decorative patterns that complement the majesty of its architecture. The monument changes with light and presents different times of the day.

Dinner Under the stars: Enjoy an exclusive dinner by the poolside surrounded by serenity, romance and live traditional Indian music. Indulge in the hotel master chefs' creations from the Royal kitchens of Mughal rulers.
Hotel: Oberoi Amarvilas, Premier Room

Indulge with your own private view of the greatest monument of love at The Oberoi Amarvilas, recognized as the leading luxury hotel in Agra. Wake up to the glorious sight of the Taj Mahal, bathed by the first rays of dawn. Watch her sparkle by day as the sun shines on her architectural perfection. Allow yourself to be swept away by her romance at dusk. Let the nights be filled with the magic of the Taj by moonlight.

Rated amongst the leading resorts in the world, The Oberoi Amarvilas offers the best view of the Taj Mahal in Agra. The hotel is located 600 meters from the Taj Mahal and all rooms, suites, lobby, bar and lounge offer breathtaking views of the monument. Built in a style inspired by Moorish and Mughal architecture, the resort is a splendid display of terraced lawns, fountains, reflection pools and pavilions with rich interiors that take you back to an era of Emperors and Princes. A stay at The Oberoi Amarvilas is truly unforgettable.

Day 4: Agra

• Breakfast at the hotel
• Visit Agra Fort and Discover Old Agra city
• Afternoon Hi Tea with local family
• Evening proceed for Kachpura Walk
• Overnight stay in Agra  

Post breakfast visit the massive Agra Fort which was originally started by Emperor Akbar in 1565, but his son, Jahangir, and grandson, Shah Jahan, later made valuable additions to it. It houses the Dewan-e-Khas and Dewan-e-Aam (Halls of Private and Public Audience).  Its walls and palaces are a silent witness to the rise and fall of the Imperial Mughal Empire and feature a variety of ingenious Islamic inspired devices (some decorative, some more practical) within the fabric of the buildings. It’s a citadel with marble palaces, ornate alcoves, and terrace pavilions.

Very few travelers ever visit the old part of Agra that was once an important trading center of the Imperial capital of the Mughals known for its abundant consumption of commodities and giving gifts on a large scale.

After your tour of the Agra Fort, take a Rickshaw or Tonga ride to Old Agra to explore hidden alleys.  As you enter the lanes of Old Agra you will get to peep inside shops, temples and lives of people to relive the life and times of a city that has an enduring history that predates and goes beyond the glorious era of the Taj Mahal, where it was a prosperous mercantile town during late-Mughal and days of the British Raj.

In the late afternoon, enjoy Hi Tea with a local family and proceed for a walk in Kachhpura Village. A narrow bridle path through agriculture fields near Mehtab Bagh takes you into the ancient village of Kachpura and Humayun’s Mosque. The walk through Kachpura starts with explaining the paintings (sanji art) on the walls done by community girls under youth program.

The central courtyard of the village is a major attraction of Kachhpura. The courtyard was redesigned under the project which offers a view of activities taking place in and around the information center – Street Theatre/Henna Tatto making etc. One can also visit the village school situated near courtyard. The walk ends in Mehtab Bagh from where you will have the opportunity to watch the Taj Mahal during sunset.

Day 5: Agra – Fatehpur Sikri - Jaipur

• Breakfast at the hotel
• Depart by surface for Jaipur
• En-route visit Fatehpur Sikri

• Evening get blessed at Hindu Temple by Priest

Post breakfast depart by surface for Jaipur (approx. 5 hours). En-route first visit Fatehpur Sikri.

Fatehpur Sikri, located 37 km southwest of Agra is a magnificent fortified ghost city that was constructed by Akbar in the 16th century to honor the Chishti Saint, Sheikh Salim, who foretold the birth of Akbar's son, Jahangir. The city is a combination of Hindu and Persian architecture, and is in a remarkable state of preservation. The city was abandoned soon after it was built when the local wells went dry. It remains much in the same condition as it was over 300 years ago. Larger than any of the modern cities when it was originally constructed, it is complete with palaces and mosques. It’s near perfect buildings make it an extra ordinary place to walk around in.

Post sightseeing tour, you will be transferred to the Taj Rambagh Palace in Jaipur for your stay.

Evening is reserved for short Wedding Puja Ceremony at a Hindu Temple  
In the Hindu religion, puja for a newlywed couple is very suspicious. In this puja, the priest will wish a long and healthy married life for the couple. You will need to go to the temple and will have to walk without shoes in the temple premises.
Hotel: Taj Rambagh Palace, Palace Room

Taj Rambagh Palce
From the home of the queen’s favorite handmaiden, to royal guesthouse and hunting lodge, and later as the residence of the Maharaja, this ‘Jewel of Jaipur’ has stepped gracefully through many royal transitions. The finest traditions of Rajput hospitality pour out of its every brick and cornice. Its elegant rooms, marbled corridors and majestic gardens echo with history, and every corner has a story to tell. Walk from room to room amongst rich textures, opulent furnishings and exquisite objects d’art. Step out into expansive, ornamental gardens arranged in brilliant symmetry. Retire to rooms that were once the sanctuaries of kings, princes and their guests. Rambagh Palace exudes an unmistakable sense of history. It’s an architectural masterpiece that transcends time. Each richly renovated room has opulent interiors with unique themes, hand painted motif work on the walls, regal four-poster beds, walk-in wardrobes and luxurious bathrooms to provide a distinct experience befitting royalty.

Day 6: Jaipur

• Breakfast at the hotel

• Enjoy Elephant Safari along with lunch at Dera Amber
• Afternoon explore the City Palace 
• Late evening proceed for a guided walk

In the morning proceed for a half - day sightseeing tour of the city. 

High above the city, the towers and domes of the Amber Fort are reminiscent of scenes from a fairy tale. The palace itself is within the enormous fort complex and is replete with halls, gardens, pavilions, and temples. The Hall of Mirrors is not to be missed where one lit matchstick can illuminate the entire room. You will ascent the fort on elegantly draped elephants.

Post sightseeing tour drive to “Dera Amber Camp” which is located at the foothills of the Aravali Range and surrounded by the wilderness of a reserved forest with no urban civilization in the vicinity, just a few hamlets housing the local villagers occupied by farming on the their fields bordering a pretty lake. Here enjoy an exclusive elephant Safari and lunch. 

Later visit the City Palace Museum where you can see an imposing blend of traditional Rajasthani and Mughal Art. The museum is resplendent with its collection of robes of royal princes, carpets, an armory of old weapons, miniature paintings portraying court scenes, battle scenes and processions.   

Evening Walking Tour – Bazaar, Cuisine & Local Crafts 
From its creation in 1727, the royal families and nobles of Jaipur patronized the craftsmen and artisans of the city. These traditions continue to this day and modern day Jaipur is considered the craft capital of India. Traditional methods are still used to produce many valuable and highly prized items. Using skills passed down through generations, artisans and master craftsmen can be seen in the areas of Ghat Darwaza and Vishveshwar ji.

On this fascinating guided evening walk mingle and talk with the locals whilst sampling some of the regions culinary delights: try pakoras, aloo tiki, samosa and sweets from some of the city’s most popular street food vendors. Observe local artisans in their workshops; jewelers and silversmiths, gold and silver foil makers. The iconic Hawa Mahal also called the Palace of the winds is the meeting - point at which this two and a half hour walk begins. Here you also have the option of seeing and trying the art of Henna painting,

Day 7: Jaipur - Nimaj

• Breakfast at the hotel
• Depart by surface for Nimaj
• Lunch at the camp site
• Evening take a birding walk
• Dinner and Overnight stay in Nimaj   

Today your next destination will be Nimaj (approx.230 kms/ 5 hours). On arrival check into Chhatra Sagar.

Today Chhatra Sagar has developed into a lush green oasis. With its wide - open spaces and enchanting views, it is a special property.  Luxury tents have always been an important part of Rajput lifestyle. Constant campaigns in far -flung lands meant long stays in tents under inhospitable conditions. Tents were the only luxury available and soon these evolved into mobile, mini-palaces. Chhatra Sagar captures the essence of this romance.

The descendants of the people invited here by Thakur Chhatra Singh still live in settlements around Chhatra Sagar. Predominantly farmers and shepherds, they live a self – contained and harmonious life that has changed little in the last century. Chhatra Sagar continues to recharge their wells and provide water for their livestock.

In the evening take a bird watching tour near the campsite. 

Here you will love the silence, the bird-watching, the isolation, the village walk, the fresh pomegranate juice on the terrace and the tangible humanity of this singular place.
Hotel: Chhatra Sagar, Luxury Tent

Chhatra Sagar
A truly magical place that comprises delightful tents pitched on a dam, overlooking a lake teeming with birds (seasonal) and surrounded by grasslands replete with wildlife. A stay here allows you to experience rural Rajasthan in a way that few other properties do. Accompanied by one of your hosts, wander out to explore the farm, local temples and meet the villagers. Take a drive through the grasslands, spying myriad bird species, herds of bluebull and other animals. Return in the evening to a sundowner on the hill and al fresco dining under an incredible canopy of stars. Undoubtedly, Chhatra Sagar is one of the most peaceful, unique and friendly hideaways in Rajasthan.

Day 8: Nimaj

• Breakfast and lunch at the camp

• Explore the Village by jeep
• Dinner and Overnight stay in Chattra Sagar  

The Rathore family deeply loves the land, and view water harvesting as an ancestral responsibility. Stewards and guardians of a unique place, their personal involvement and constant presence reinforce the commitment while on the village tour one will witness the same. Following their conservation effort, over 200 varieties of wildlife have returned, egret, heron, kingfishers, antelope, wild boar, small jungle cats, all easily observed from the ramparts of the dam or on nature walks into the habitat. The sustainability quotient is optimal—the camp serves all locally sourced food, has intense community involvement, and is furnished by indigenous craft. The property employs 30 local families from the nearby village of Kheda Deogarh, sponsors teachers, provides medicine, classroom furniture and brings specialized educators who address subjects ranging from family planning to recycling to soil conservation. They bring to the equation a natural grace and elegance, making the experience an altogether authentic one.

Noted for its grandiose scale and elaborate ornamentation, of the three temples, the Adinatha saint. The whole, including the extraordinary array of 1144 pillars each distinct in design, carved ceilings, and arches decorated with friezes depicting scenes from the lives of the Jain saints, is fascinating.

Post lunch at Fatehbagh Palace; continue driving to Udaipur and on arrival check into the romantic and beautiful Taj Lake Palace hotel.

Dotted with marble palaces, hibiscus - laden gardens and fountain pavilions, Udaipur appeals to the imagination of poets and painters, travellers and writers like no other city in the country. The city's inherent romance and beauty and its remarkable past redolent with episodes of heroism and splendor, continue to enthrall the visitor even today. Udaipur, the City of Dawn, looms up like a vision in white.

Surrounded by hills and mountains and set on the edge of three lakes that lead on to a fertile plain, it is a truly enchanting city. Narrow streets lined with vividly colored stalls, gardens, temples and palaces mirrored in the placid blue waters of Lake Pichola add to the magic of Udaipur.
Hotel: Taj Lake Palace Hotel, Palace Room

Taj Lake Palace Hotel
The Vintage coupé glides to a stop at the lake’s edge. It’s hard to believe the floating vision in marble is real. Blink, and indeed, there is a luminous palace emerging from the mist. Suddenly you are in a boat, drifting ever closer and the reality doesn’t disappoint. With the Aravalli Mountains and city palaces as a backdrop one gets an impending sense of enchantment.

This experience takes place each morning on the Mewar Terrace overlooking the quiet waters of Lake Pichola.

Post breakfast you have the full day to enjoy sightseeing and experience what the city has to offer.

Starting at Jagdish Temple built in 1651. Notice the many heritage mansions that line the city boulevards, the art shops and boutiques that lead to the old bathing ghats that fringe the banks of Lake Pichola. Visit City Palace, (part of which has been converted into a museum housing the largest collection of crystal in the world,) and see the gorgeous peacock mosaics, striking blue and white ceramics and Dutch inlaid tile work, glass and porcelain figures and miniature paintings are just two of Udaipur's main attractions.

Later proceed for “Walk for the Tongawallahs”. The Walk for the Tongawallahs has been designed to help revive this once popular and eco-friendly mode of transport in Udaipur. Tongas were once the favorite mode of transport for the ladies of the royal house in Udaipur. Today these Tongas are becoming increasingly marginalized in favor of auto-rickshaws and other pollution belching motorized vehicles. There are only 10 Tongas left in Udaipur today. . You will visit Bagore-Ki-Haveli and Sahelio-ki-bari with the Tongawallahs.

In the afternoon, take a boat-cruise on Lake Pichola, covering the City Palace and Jag Mandir, a refuge of the rebel Mughal prince Shah Jahan, soon to be the creator of the incomparable Taj Mahal.

Our Lily Pond is a lush, green garden stretching throughout the courtyard with a sparkling fountain and gorgeous shrubbery. This is where the ruler of Mewar met with his subjects and greeted the onset of spring.
