Your journey, thoughtfully connected
A journey of forts, temple art and river life.
Go beyond the Golden Triangle to discover Orchha, Khajuraho and Varanasi. Each adds a distinct chapter: a quieter palace town, an architectural destination and a city whose daily life centres on the Ganges. The sequence can be adapted around connections and your available time.
This is a proposed itinerary, not a guaranteed departure or availability statement. The final route, travel connections and services will be confirmed in your written proposal.

Your suggested itinerary
Day 01
Welcome to Delhi
Begin your journey in Delhi. We will agree your arrival or meeting arrangements in advance and keep the first day realistic for your travel schedule. Settle into your stay and discuss the days ahead with your local contact.
Suggested overnight: DelhiDay 02
Discover Delhi
Delhi rewards a little patience and a curious guide. Mughal courtyards, lively market lanes and the broad avenues of New Delhi reveal very different sides of the capital. Start gently after your flight, then make room for both the celebrated landmarks and the smaller details of everyday life. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: DelhiDay 03
Delhi to Jaipur
Continue from Delhi to Jaipur using the transport arrangements agreed in your quotation. Allow the travel day its own space, with sightseeing added only where timings make it comfortable. Depending on timing, your plan can include: Discover Amber Fort and its architectural details. Alternatively, leave this visit for your next full day.
Suggested overnight: JaipurDay 04
Discover Jaipur
Jaipur brings together palace architecture, hilltop fortifications and the energy of a working city. A good visit balances the major sights with time to absorb its streets and markets. We can shape the day around architecture, photography or simply a relaxed introduction to Rajasthan. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: JaipurDay 05
Jaipur to Agra
Continue from Jaipur to Agra using the transport arrangements agreed in your quotation. Allow the travel day its own space, with sightseeing added only where timings make it comfortable. Depending on timing, your plan can include: Visit the Taj Mahal at a time suited to your route. Alternatively, leave this visit for your next full day.
Suggested overnight: AgraDay 06
Agra to Orchha
Continue from Agra to Orchha using the transport arrangements agreed in your quotation. Allow the travel day its own space, with sightseeing added only where timings make it comfortable. Depending on timing, your plan can include: Explore the palace complex. Alternatively, leave this visit for your next full day.
Suggested overnight: OrchhaDay 07
Orchha to Khajuraho
Continue from Orchha to Khajuraho using the transport arrangements agreed in your quotation. Allow the travel day its own space, with sightseeing added only where timings make it comfortable. Depending on timing, your plan can include: Explore the principal temple groups. Alternatively, leave this visit for your next full day.
Suggested overnight: KhajurahoDay 08
Discover Khajuraho
Khajuraho is a rewarding stop for travellers interested in temple architecture and craftsmanship. Rather than treating the temples as a quick checklist, explore their setting and sculptural detail with context from a local guide. It pairs well with Orchha and Varanasi on a longer northern journey. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: KhajurahoDay 09
Khajuraho to Varanasi
Continue from Khajuraho to Varanasi using the transport arrangements agreed in your quotation. Allow the travel day its own space, with sightseeing added only where timings make it comfortable. Depending on timing, your plan can include: Walk the historic lanes and riverside ghats. Alternatively, leave this visit for your next full day.
Suggested overnight: VaranasiDay 10
Discover Varanasi
Varanasi is deeply atmospheric and intensely lived-in. The riverfront changes through the day, from quieter early hours to busy evening gatherings. A guide can help you navigate the lanes respectfully, choose suitable viewpoints and understand what is happening around you. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.
Suggested overnight: VaranasiDay 11
More time in Varanasi
Observe an evening ceremony respectfully. This additional day creates room for a slower pace, an agreed optional activity or time at your hotel. We will refine the details around what you most want to experience.
Suggested overnight: VaranasiDay 12
Departure or onward travel
Enjoy any free time that your schedule allows, then continue with your agreed departure arrangements. Travel from Varanasi towards Delhi; the mode of transport and timing will be confirmed in your proposal. If you would like an extra night, we can adapt the route.
