1. Days 1-3: Delhi

   Your epic journey begins in the energetic city of Delhi. Infused in history yet bursting with modern life, psychedelic, raucous Delhi pulsates with the boundless beats of humanity like few other cities on Earth. You’ll stay at the centrally located Imperial for the next two nights. Scramble through Delhi’s streets and uncover renowned historic sites on a private tour lead by one of our expert guides.

2. Days 3-4: Agra

   Hop on the train and head two hours south to the spellbinding city of Agra, home to the unmissable Taj Mahal. Here, you’ll stay at the opulent ITC Mughal Agra, situated just a stone’s throw away from the symbolic mosque, making it an ideal base for the night. Your first day here will encompass the lesser-known attractions of this Mughal empire. Amble along the streets and you’ll stumble across the noble fort, a liberal sprinkling of fascinating tombs and chambers, and the hustle and bustle of countless ‘chowks’. The history is captivating, and your guide will be on hand to bring it all to life for you. In the evening, plunge in the pool, repose on the terrace and indulge in one of the hotel’s international cuisine restaurants before getting a good night’s rest in preparation for tomorrow’s early start.

Sit back in awe and get your cameras ready as the sun begins to rise and the Taj’s colour slowly changes as the light touches its surface. From here, you’ll drive four hours west to Jaipur, with a pitstop in the ancient city of Fatehpur Sikri to break up your journey. Samode Haveli is your home for the next two nights and with its central location, it is perfect to explore the city by foot.
