Day 3: Discover Delhi

A city equally chaotic and charming, Delhi grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go! Spend the day exploring the sights of Old and New Delhi: pass the colossal Red Fort, visit India’s largest mosque, Jama Masjid, and take a rickshaw to Asia’s largest spice market. Cross over into New Delhi to make a brief stop at India Gate, and visit Humayun’s Tomb and the Qutub Minar.

Day 4: Agra

Drive to Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal. On arrival, visit the Itmad-ud-Daulah, nicknamed the Baby Taj, an exquisite marble tomb that predates the Taj Mahal and is thought to have inspired it. You’ll also explore the hulking mass of red sandstone that is Agra Fort, which sits on the banks of the Yamuna River. The Fort was established in the 16th century but has been much added to over time, making it an eclectic mix of architectural styles.
(Breakfast)

Day 5: Taj Mahal

Rise early to see the sun rise over India’s most iconic sight. At dawn, when the crowds are at their thinnest, the Taj Mahal is swathed in mist and tinged pink by the rising sun – seeing it is a magical experience. Depart Agra and head to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a spectacular, abandoned array of Mughal palaces and temples. Continue by road to Ranthambore National Park.
(Breakfast, lunch and dinner)

Day 6: Tigers of Ranthambore

Enjoy both morning and afternoon canter safaris through the national park, keeping your eyes peeled for tigers! There are around 50 majestic Bengal tigers that are living amongst Ranthambore’s undulating landscapes, as well as leopards, nilgai, sloth bears, wild boar, hyena and over 300 species of bird.
(Breakfast, lunch and dinner)

Day 7: Bundi’s Stepwells

Travel to one of Rajasthan’s hidden gems, the captivating Bundi, a town that is dominated by its immense fort. Within the fort walls is a beautiful palace, Badal Mahal, famous for its painted murals.

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner)

Day 8: Chittor Fort

Depart Bundi and drive to Udaipur, with a stop en route at Chittor Fort. One of the largest forts in India, Chittor sprawls across a hilltop overlooking the town of Chittorgarh. Its precinct contains grand old palaces, gates, temples and towers – its magnificence has been inspiring travellers and artists alike for centuries. Continue to Udaipur where, later this afternoon, you’ll cruise on Lake Pichola, admiring the city’s palaces from the water, including the incredible Lake Palace.
