Itinerary

From yoga to Bollywood, sacred temples to exotic wildlife, and bold textiles to complex vegetarian cuisine, experience every side of India in this incredible adventure that takes you through the very heart of Rajasthan. We welcome you to Delhi, and to India, and invite you to bring your curious nature to a country that is ready to inspire and impress. Get ready for a spirited and breathtaking two weeks. Stay: The Metropolitan Hotel & Spa (D)

Delhi, the vibrant capital of India, offers a captivating blend of rich history and modern tradition that charms every traveler. Set out on foot to discover a treasure trove of iconic landmarks such as the majestic Mehrauli Archeological Park, Humayun's Tomb and the intricate architecture of the India Gate, each narrating a story of India's diverse heritage. Delhi's bustling markets, divine cuisine and warm hospitality provide an immersive cultural experience, making it the perfect destination for the start of your trip. Stay: The Metropolitan Hotel & Spa (B)

No India itinerary is complete without a stop at two of the most iconic spots in the world, let alone India. The Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort are just a train ride away for today's adventure. The Taj Mahal is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a world renowned symbol of love and craftsmanship. And the legendary Agra Fort stands as a testament to the significance of India's grand Mughal Empire. We make sure these two world famous stops are checked off your India bucket list today. Stay: Narsingh Bagh (B/L/D)

You don't need to venture deep into the jungle to experience India's vibrant wildlife. Just outside of Dholpur, the chance to embark on a river safari showcases diverse landscapes and thriving wildlife. From spotting elusive species of birds and endangered animals to witnessing traditional riverside life, your time on the Chambal River will be unforgettable. If you're lucky, you may even spot a Gharial, a type of fish-eating crocodile. Hands inside the boat please! Stay: Narsingh Bagh (B/L/D)

From water to land, we continue the safari into Ranthambore National Park. This park is considered the best in the world to see the Royal Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat. Grab your binoculars and join your guide in search of not just tigers but leopards, bengal foxes, langurs and other amazing species. The magic of Ranthambore unfolds between dense forest and historical ruins offering an unparalleled safari experience. Stay: Jungle Vilas Resort (B/L/D)

After another safari in Ranthambore, its onward to Jaipur. Jaipur isn't just known for its incredible history and monuments, it's also famous for being, well, pink! While the city is beautiful to gaze at, it's not just a pretty facade. Together we have the next two days to explore all this city has to teach us. First up, try your hand at block printing with the women of the Anoothi Project before an orientation walk through town. Stay: Narain Niwas Palace (B/D)

Your Jaipur explorations start with the Amber Heritage walk. Step into what feels like a painting at the intricate Panna Meena before climbing onward to the majestically perched fortress of Amber Fort. The afternoon continues with a guided exploration of Jantar Mantar. This architectural wonder is marveled for its accurate observation of celestial bodies, showcasing the advanced astronomical knowledge of its time and the world's largest sundial. Stay: Narain Niwas Palace (B)

Today is jam packed with OMG worthy moments. Pushkar is one of the oldest and holiest cities in India and home to one of the only temples in the world dedicated to Brahma, the Hindu creator god. After a visit to this esteemed temple, you get the honor of choosing how the rest of your day unfolds. Connect with your spiritual side with a yoga class and a wellness and spirituality discussion or hike the famed pilgrimage path to Savitri Temple Hill and visit this picturesque hilltop. Come together in the evening again for sundowners with a show, to watch traditional Kalbeliya dancers alongside a local feast under the stars. Stay: Atithi Luxury Resort (B/L/D)

The state of Rajasthan is famed for its historic forts and fortresses, handicrafts and its bright and beautiful block printing and tie-dye techniques. Textiles in India are more than just beautiful art, they're symbols of regional heritage, cultural identity and centuries of generational practices. Visit small hamlets whose traditions remained unchanged over the last hundred years, and overnight at a heritage property outside Jodhpur. Stay: Chandelao Garh (B/L/D)

It's almost impossible to say which is more beautiful: the view of Mehrangarh Fortress from the city of Jodhpur or the view of the Blue City of Jodhpur from Mehrangarh Fortress. The opportunity to visit and view both this morning will leave your heart full. Stay: Chandelao Garh (B/D)

From one town to the next, India seems to become more and more spectacular. Continue to Ranakpur Jain Temple to observe one of the most magnificent marble temples in India. After exploring the temple, continue to the romantic lakefront city of Udaipur. There's no better welcome to a waterfront town than dinner at one of the finest lakefront restaurants. Stay: Fateh Niwas by Fateh Collection (B/D)

Udaipur, the City of Lakes, invites you to rise and shine with a bike ride to start the day. Enjoy incredible views with a gentle bike ride through the ancient hills of Udaipur to Badi Lake where breakfast will be waiting. After an exhilarating start to the day, join your CEO to tour the palace complex and Jagdish Temple, which has been welcoming worshippers since 1651. Stay: Fateh Niwas by Fateh Collection (B)

Mixed with modern high rises and old world architecture, Mumbai is India's financial and cinematic capital. This afternoon will take you to some of best spots in all of Mumbai like Dhobi Ghat, Asia's largest open-air laundromat, and Malabar Hill. Stay: Trident, Nariman Point, Mumbai (B)

A scenic escape from the bustling city brings you to the island of Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walk through rock carved columns to enter the impressive caves dedicated to Lord Shiva. These incredible carvings date back to the 5th century, and represent a sacred site for Hindu believers. Stay: Trident, Nariman Point, Mumbai (B/D)

Your adventure has come to an end, you can depart at any time. (B)
