Your suggested itinerary
Day 01
Arrive in Delhi — welcome and time to rest
Meet your driver at Delhi airport and transfer to your hotel. Keep the day flexible after your journey, with time to rest. For an early arrival, a short New Delhi orientation may include an India Gate drive-past and the surrounding government district, subject to local traffic and security arrangements. A full sightseeing day begins tomorrow; no major monument visits are assumed after a late flight.
Suggested overnight: DelhiDay 02
Old and New Delhi — Chandni Chowk and Mughal heritage
Begin in Old Delhi with Jama Masjid and the Chandni Chowk area, allowing time for a guided walk or an optional cycle-rickshaw ride. Continue to Raj Ghat if it suits the route, then take a lunch break. In the afternoon, visit Humayun’s Tomb and finish with an India Gate drive-past if not covered on arrival. Qutub Minar can replace an afternoon visit according to your interests, rather than adding another cross-city journey. Access, prayer times and opening schedules will shape the final order.
Suggested overnight: DelhiDay 03
Delhi to Agra — Agra Fort and optional riverside views
Travel by private vehicle to Agra, allowing approximately 4–5 hours including normal breaks, with traffic delays possible. Check in or leave your luggage at the hotel, then explore Agra Fort with your guide. If time and energy allow, choose an optional Mehtab Bagh visit for views towards the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna. Keep the evening relaxed before tomorrow’s early start. Hotel check-in time and monument tickets are confirmed in your quotation.
Suggested overnight: AgraDay 04
Taj Mahal at sunrise — Fatehpur Sikri — Jaipur
Visit the Taj Mahal around sunrise, subject to opening conditions, weather and your agreed schedule. Return for breakfast and check out, then continue to Jaipur with a visit to Fatehpur Sikri en route if included in your proposal. Allow approximately 5–6 hours of road travel plus 1–2 hours for the sightseeing stop and meal breaks; this is a full travel day. Reach Jaipur and settle into your hotel. The Taj Mahal is closed to general visitors on Fridays, so your advisor will adjust the Agra visit or route before confirmation.
Suggested overnight: JaipurDay 05
Jaipur — Amber Fort, City Palace and Jantar Mantar
Start with Amber Fort, allowing time to appreciate its courtyards and architectural details. Stop for an exterior view of Jal Mahal on the return towards the city, then take a lunch break. Visit the City Palace and Jantar Mantar, with a Hawa Mahal façade photo stop planned along the route. The order is adjusted around traffic, opening hours and your pace. If you prefer longer visits or market time, replace one afternoon attraction rather than trying to add everything. Craft demonstrations and shopping stops are optional.
Suggested overnight: JaipurDay 06
Fly from Jaipur to Varanasi — arrival and rest
Transfer to Jaipur airport for the flight itinerary agreed in your proposal. A direct service will be used only if available on your dates; otherwise a suitable connecting flight may be required. Allow this day for airport procedures and travel, with no major sightseeing promised between connections. Meet your local driver on arrival in Varanasi and transfer to your hotel. An introductory riverfront walk can be considered after an early arrival; the main Ganges experiences are planned tomorrow.
Suggested overnight: VaranasiDay 07
Varanasi — Ganges boat ride, old-city lanes and Ganga Aarti
Begin with an early-morning boat ride along the Ganges when river and weather conditions permit. Observe life along the ghats, then return for breakfast and a rest. Later, take a guided walk through the old-city lanes and the Dashashwamedh Ghat area. A visit to the Kashi Vishwanath temple precinct can be discussed in advance, subject to entry rules, security checks and your interests. Sarnath, including the Dhamek Stupa area, is an optional afternoon excursion; choose it only if you prefer a fuller day. Attend the evening Ganga Aarti from an agreed viewpoint and return to your hotel. Boat trips, entry tickets, local transfers and any reserved seating are included only when specified in your quote.
Suggested overnight: VaranasiDay 08
Fly from Varanasi to Delhi — onward departure
Transfer to Varanasi airport for your confirmed flight to Delhi. The tour concludes in Delhi, with the onward arrangements agreed in your proposal. Do not plan a tight international connection: allow an appropriate buffer for the actual flight itinerary and airport procedures, or add an extra Delhi hotel night. No distant sightseeing is scheduled before departure. Domestic flights and baggage allowances are included only when expressly listed in the quotation.
