Description
The Oberoi ‘Vilas’ properties have continually received the highest accolades from around the world, with countless awards for the way in which these hotels have revolutionised the luxury hotel experience in India. They have set the benchmark for service, style and luxury and continue to set the pace.
By combining a selection of Oberoi Hotels, you will receive incredible value for money, as Oberoi reward you the longer you stay in their hotels. The quality of accommodation throughout will give you a consistency that you can appreciate throughout your entire journey. This itinerary is ideal for those unsure of using heritage hotels, that can for some, not live up to the romance that they portray by not offering creature comforts who get with Oberoi Hotels.
This itinerary is only a framework based upon popular tailor-made itineraries undertaken by Scott Dunn guests. We can of course add on the tiger reserve at Ranthambore, or the Himalayan retreat of Wildflower Hall. Furthermore, if you would like to blend ’Palace hotels’ with Oberoi hotels, then this can be tailored to your particular requirements.
This route begins in Delhi, a city that has more of an open and welcoming feel than most. We include a private guide to help you explore its history and culture. We like to show you what Delhi is truly about; by taking you on a cycle rickshaw through the bustling and colourful markets and kitting you out with our sought after restaurant guide.
The next port of call is Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, the iconic image of this region. With a room overlooking the Taj Mahal, it makes for a sensational stay.
Your journey then turns towards Rajasthan and the city of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. Jaipur offers a great deal to any guest; superb shopping (we can arrange private shoppers), the forts and palaces, but also the chance to sit back and relax in The Oberoi Rajvilas.
In the winter you can fly from Jaipur to Udaipur (the summer involves a very interesting journey through rural southern Rajasthan), and your final destination. The Oberoi Udaivilas is located on the banks of Lake Pichola, overlooking the Lake Palace. With three days, you have ample time to sit back and relax. For the more active traveller, Udaipur offers a wealth of things to see and do, as well as longer day trips to the forts, palaces and villages around the city.
