Itinerary
Fly to Delhi
Delhi: A City of Contrasts
Day 1: Arrival & Old Delhi’s Flavours
Delhi doesn’t whisper. It roars, with rickshaw bells, temple chants, and the rhythm of lives lived at full pace. After arriving and settling into The Imperial, begin your journey not with landmarks, but with taste: hop between sizzling grills and century-old snack shops in Old Delhi, guided by a local foodie who knows every hidden gem. Discover hidden corners, colourful streets, and centuries of history woven into every bite. This is Delhi through flavour, colour, and sound, an introduction that awakens all your senses.
Day 2: Sikh Temple & New Delhi’s Grandeur
Begin the morning at a Sikh temple, joining the langar, a community kitchen that feeds thousands daily. It’s a humbling, joyful act of service and connection. Later, your guide will peel back the layers of New Delhi, a city of sweeping boulevards and imperial grandeur. Walk the ceremonial Rajpath, stand before Humayun's Tomb, and admire the UNESCO-listed Qutub Minar. A serene counterpoint to Old Delhi’s frenzy, and a glimpse into the city’s layered contrasts.
Accommodation: The Imperial ( 2 nights )
Agra: A Journey to Timeless Splendour
Day 3: First glimpse of the Taj Mahal
Trade the city’s hum for the rhythm of the rails as you journey to Agra by train, breakfast hamper in hand, just as locals do. Fields and villages flicker past your window before you arrive at The Oberoi Amarvilas, where every room holds a private view of the Taj Mahal. As evening falls, step into the gardens of one of the world’s greatest monuments. Watching the marble shift from a soft blush to an amber glow. An experience that stays with you, long after you've left.
Day 4: Taj Sunrise & Agra Fort
Return to the Taj at sunrise, when its marble façade gleams and the monument feels entirely your own. Learn the stories of love and legacy that inspired this masterpiece. Later, explore Agra Fort, wandering its ramparts and hidden chambers, imagining emperors gazing toward the Taj from these walls. By afternoon, depart for Jaipur, the landscape shifting to sunbaked hills and desert horizons, anticipation building for the next chapter of your itinerary.
Jaipur: The Enchanting Pink City
Day 5: Samode Haveli & Bazaar Discovery
After checking into the elegant Samode Haveli the night before, wake early to wander its peaceful courtyards and soak in the palace’s timeless atmosphere. Explore the vibrant local bazaar with a guide, discovering silks, spices, and artisan crafts. Later, enjoy a private shopping experience with local artisans and a diamond specialist, finding treasures that capture Jaipur’s craftsmanship and creativity. Today is a celebration of colour, texture, and skill, experienced at a relaxed, immersive pace.
Day 6: Jaipur’s History & Evening at The Leela
Spend the day exploring Jaipur, the Pink City, where rose-hued buildings, bustling streets, and vibrant bazaars create a magical atmosphere. Visit Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, and the City Palace, immersing yourself in stories of royalty, grandeur, and centuries of history. As the sun sets, dine at The Leela Palace’s Mohan Mahal Restaurant, inspired by Amber Fort’s Sheesha Mahal. Surrounded by 350,000 hand-cut mirror tiles shimmering in candlelight, the evening reflects the elegance and opulence you discovered throughout the day.
Pali: Tranquility in Rural Rajasthan
Day 7: Journey into the countryside
Leaving Jaipur behind, travel through rural Rajasthan, witnessing village life unfold along the way—children playing, animals grazing, and daily routines in harmony with the land. Arrive at Brij Lakshman Sagar, a boutique property set within 33 acres of golden fields and gently rolling hills. Take time to unwind with a massage, a swim, or a quiet moment with a book, letting the calm of the countryside settle around you. As the sun dips low, enjoy sundowners on the terrace followed by a farm-to-table dinner celebrating local ingredients.
Day 8: Brij Lakshman Sagar Adventures
Wake early to explore the surrounding countryside, walking along forested trails and through fields kissed by the morning sun. Try your hand at pottery with a local artisan, whose skills have been passed down through generations in his village. For the afternoon, choose to relax by the pool, read a book, or enjoy a gentle kayak on the serene waters. As golden light falls across the hills, enjoy sundowners before a dinner celebrating fresh ingredients sourced from nearby farms, a perfect end to your day.
Jodhpur: The Blue City
Day 9: Jodhpur Bazaars & Evening Magic
Begin your Jodhpur experience with a guided walk through the city’s winding streets and vibrant bazaars. With your personal guide, gain access to the best antique merchants, spice markets, and textile treasures, uncovering exclusive, one-of-a-kind finds at boutique ateliers and artisan studios. Explore hidden corners of the old town while witnessing daily life unfold around you. As dusk falls, enjoy a private performance from the Bhopas, local storytellers and musicians whose haunting melodies bring Rajasthan’s folklore to life. Conclude the day on a rooftop terrace with a traditional Rajasthani thali dinner under the stars, the illuminated Mehrangarh Fort rising above.
Day 10: Mehrangarh Fort & Maroh Khet Farm-to-Table
Spend the morning exploring the majestic Mehrangarh Fort, towering above the Blue City. Wander its ramparts, courtyards, and intricate halls, each echoing with centuries of royal history. Admire the panoramic views across Jodhpur’s rooftops and the desert beyond, and imagine the lives of the Maharajas who once ruled from here. In the afternoon, journey to Maroh Khet for a culturally immersive farm-to-table dining experience. Learn about agriculture and the local community while tasting some of Rajasthan’s most delicious and unique dishes, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. A perfect blend of culture and cuisine.
