Day 1

Welcome to India

Namaste, and welcome to Delhi — the beating heart of India where ancient empires and modern energy intertwine!

Upon arrival at Delhi Airport, your personal English-speaking driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. You’ll be transferred in comfort to your handpicked boutique hotel for a restful start to your journey.

Take the evening to breathe in your first moments of this incredible country — perhaps with a rooftop cocktail or a gentle stroll through the hotel’s leafy courtyard.

2 nights in Delhi – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Delhi Red Fort

Day 2

Old Souls and Grand Avenues

Today you’ll step into India’s living history, guided by a passionate local expert. Begin at the towering Qutub Minar, a 13th-century sandstone masterpiece, followed by the elegant Humayun’s Tomb, the architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal.

Later, dive into the colourful chaos of Old Delhi on a cycle rickshaw — feel the pulse of Chandni Chowk as you weave past spice markets, mosque domes and tangled wires. Then return to serenity as you cruise along Rajpath, passing India Gate, Parliament House and Rashtrapati Bhavan, where imperial grandeur still lingers.

Breakfast included

Agra Fort

Day 3

Road to Romance

Leave the capital behind and journey in comfort to Agra — home of eternal love and epic Mughal architecture. Once the capital of an empire, Agra’s skyline is crowned by domes and turrets that whisper royal secrets.

On arrival, settle into your hotel. The afternoon is yours to relax or take a quiet wander — because tomorrow, you’ll greet the Taj Mahal at sunrise.

Breakfast included
2 nights in Agra –  stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 4

Taj at First Light

Wake early for one of the most stirring sights on Earth — the Taj Mahal at dawn. Watch as first light paints the white marble in soft rose and gold, while your guide shares the timeless tale of love that inspired it.

Later, step into the dramatic past at Agra Fort, where emperors ruled and plotted. Explore ornate halls and peek from the royal chambers where Shah Jahan once gazed across the river at his beloved Taj.

Deluxe and Indulgence guests will enjoy an exclusive high tea at a hidden riverside spot, offering dreamy views of both the fort and Taj Mahal.

Breakfast included

Day 5

Lost Cities and Jungle Roads

After breakfast, head to the haunting red-stone ruins of Fatehpur Sikri, a former Mughal capital abandoned in its prime. Wander ghostly courtyards and echoing palaces frozen in time.

Continue your journey into Rajasthan’s wild heart, arriving in Ranthambore National Park, where jungle-cloaked ridges and crumbling fortresses are home to India’s elusive tigers. Settle into your lodge and take in the earthy calm of the countryside.

Breakfast included
2 nights in Ranthambore – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 6

Tigers and Textiles

As the mist lifts from the forest floor, head out in an open 4WD for your morning safari. With luck — and a little patience — you may spot the legendary Royal Bengal tiger, along with leopards, marsh crocodiles, sambar deer and shy sloth bears.

After a hearty breakfast back at the lodge, visit the Dastkar Ranthambhore Project, where local women revive traditional crafts and textiles. The afternoon brings a second safari, revealing how different the jungle becomes as the golden light fades.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner included

Day 7

Into the Pink City

Journey north through villages and farmland to Jaipur, Rajasthan’s flamboyant capital. Known as the Pink City, Jaipur is a celebration of symmetry, colour and regal splendour.

Check into your boutique hotel and explore at your own pace — perhaps sip masala chai on a rooftop terrace or browse for hand-block textiles in the local bazaars.

Breakfast included
2 nights in Jaipur –  stay in the hotel standard you choose

Day 8

Palaces, Temples and Royal Secrets

This morning, head uphill to the amber-hued Amber Fort, where mirrored halls, marble pavilions and sacred temples await. Receive a quiet blessing at the Shila Mata Temple, nestled within the fort’s walls.

Back in the city, explore the grand City Palace and its royal museum. Indulgence guests are granted access to the private royal quarters — where you’ll sip tea in rooms once graced by visiting monarchs.

Visit the Jantar Mantar observatory — an ancient scientific marvel — before stopping for that picture-perfect snap in front of the iconic Hawa Mahal. End your day wandering through Jaipur’s fragrant spice stalls and artisan havens.

Note: Elephant rides are not supported on this itinerary. We offer a respectful optional visit to a local elephant sanctuary where you can engage with these gentle giants ethically.

Breakfast included

Day 9

Depart India

Savour a final breakfast before your private driver whisks you back to Delhi Airport. As you leave India’s Golden Wild behind, carry home memories of majestic monuments, wild encounters and heartfelt connections that will stay with you forever.
