Suggested overnight: Delhi
Day 02

Explore Old and New Delhi

Discover the contrasting character of India’s capital with sightseeing tailored to your interests. Explore Old Delhi’s historic lanes and markets, then enjoy selected landmarks of New Delhi. Your guide will help shape the visits around opening schedules, traffic and your preferred pace.

Day 03

Fly from Delhi to Udaipur

Transfer to Delhi airport for your flight to Udaipur. On arrival, meet your local driver and continue to your hotel. Keep the rest of the day relaxed, with time to enjoy the lakeside atmosphere or take a short walk through the old city, depending on your flight timings.

Suggested overnight: Udaipur
Day 04

Discover Udaipur’s palaces and lakes

Explore Udaipur’s City Palace complex and discover the lanes and architectural details of the old city. Leave time for a relaxed lakeside lunch or a quiet afternoon. A Lake Pichola boat excursion can be planned if operating conditions and availability permit.

Suggested overnight: Udaipur
Day 05

Udaipur at your own pace

Enjoy another day in Udaipur without rushing onward. Discuss a garden visit, an additional heritage experience or time for photography with your travel advisor. You may prefer to spend part of the day enjoying your hotel and the city’s quieter corners. Optional experiences will be confirmed in your proposal.

Suggested overnight: Udaipur
Day 06

Udaipur to Jodhpur

Travel by private vehicle from Udaipur to Jodhpur. An optional stop at the Ranakpur Jain temples can be discussed while planning, allowing for visitor access, dress requirements and the additional journey time. On arrival in Jodhpur, check in and enjoy a relaxed evening.

Suggested overnight: Jodhpur
Day 07

Mehrangarh Fort and Jodhpur’s old city

Discover Mehrangarh Fort and its sweeping views over Jodhpur. Continue to Jaswant Thada if included in your plan, then explore the old-city lanes and the clock-tower market area at a comfortable pace. Your sightseeing can focus on architecture, local life or photography.

Suggested overnight: Jodhpur
Day 08

Jodhpur to Jaipur

Continue by private vehicle to Jaipur, allowing the day for the overland journey. A stop in Pushkar can be considered if it suits your interests and the agreed timing; it is optional rather than assumed. Settle into your Jaipur hotel and leave the main sightseeing for the following day.

Suggested overnight: Jaipur
Day 09

Discover Jaipur’s royal heritage

Explore Amber Fort and the City Palace area with a local guide. Include a view of Hawa Mahal and other agreed landmarks, with time between visits to avoid an overly busy day. The order will be adjusted around opening schedules and local conditions.

Suggested overnight: Jaipur
Day 10

A slower day in Jaipur

Enjoy extra time in Jaipur for an agreed heritage walk, photography, an optional cultural experience or leisure at your hotel. This day gives your Rajasthan journey breathing space before continuing to Agra. Share your interests with your advisor so the final plan reflects what you most enjoy.

Suggested overnight: Jaipur
Day 11

Jaipur to Agra

Travel by private vehicle from Jaipur to Agra. Optional visits to Abhaneri or Fatehpur Sikri can be included in the proposal if timings allow. Arrive at your Agra hotel and relax before the next day’s sightseeing. Your advisor will coordinate the Agra stay with the Taj Mahal’s opening days and the onward train schedule.

Suggested overnight: Agra
Day 12

The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort

Visit the Taj Mahal in the early morning if the agreed schedule allows, then discover Agra Fort and its Mughal architecture. Keep the afternoon relaxed ahead of the onward train journey. The Taj Mahal is closed to general sightseeing on Fridays, so the final dates and order of visits will be checked before confirmation.

Suggested overnight: Agra
Day 13

Agra to Varanasi by Vande Bharat

Transfer to Agra Cantt station to board the Vande Bharat Express to Banaras, the arrival station serving Varanasi for this connection. On arrival, meet your local driver and transfer to your hotel. Rest after the journey; an evening Ganga Aarti visit may be arranged if the confirmed train schedule leaves comfortable time. The train’s operating day, class and seat availability will be checked for your travel date.

Suggested overnight: Varanasi
Day 14

Experience Varanasi and the Ganges

Begin with an optional early-morning boat excursion on the Ganges, subject to river and operating conditions. Explore the ghats and historic lanes with a local guide, observing religious spaces respectfully. A Sarnath visit can be discussed, and the evening Ganga Aarti can be planned today if it was not included on arrival.

Suggested overnight: Varanasi
Day 15

Fly from Varanasi to Delhi

Transfer to Varanasi airport for your flight to Delhi. Your tour concludes in Delhi, with onward arrangements planned around the confirmed flight times.
