Detailed Itinerary
-
Day 1 — Arrival in Delhi
Delhi greets you on landing. After a smooth transfer to your hotel and check-in, take the rest of the day easy before sightseeing begins tomorrow. India's capital layers Mughal-era monuments, colonial-era boulevards and a fast-moving modern city into one sprawling metropolis. A day here moves between the walled lanes of Old Delhi and the wide avenues of New Delhi. Don't miss India Gate and the President's House.
-
Day 2 — Delhi
There's more of Delhi to see today: a cycle-rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk.
-
Day 3 — Delhi to Agra
This morning you'll transfer on to Agra. Once you've checked in, the afternoon is yours to explore the town at an easy pace. Agra's skyline is built around the Taj Mahal, the white-marble mausoleum Shah Jahan built for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, but the city's Mughal history runs deeper across its fort and tomb complexes. Don't miss sunrise or sunset at the Taj Mahal.
-
Day 4 — Agra
Today brings more time in Agra -- Itmad-ud-Daulah, the 'Baby Taj'.
-
Day 5 — Agra to Jaipur
This morning you'll transfer on to Jaipur. Once you've checked in, the afternoon is yours to explore the town at an easy pace. Rajasthan's capital is known for its rose-pink old city walls, its hilltop forts and a royal history that's still visible in its palaces and bazaars. Don't miss an elephant or jeep ride up to Amber Fort.
-
Day 6 — Jaipur
Today brings more time in Jaipur -- Hawa Mahal's honeycomb facade.
-
Day 7 — Jaipur to Udaipur
This morning you'll transfer on to Udaipur. Once you've checked in, the afternoon is yours to explore the town at an easy pace. Built around Lake Pichola with the Aravalli hills as a backdrop, Udaipur is Rajasthan's most romantic city -- white palaces, lakeside havelis and narrow bazaars stacked with miniature art. Don't miss Jagdish Temple and the old-city bazaars.
-
Day 8 — Udaipur
Today brings more time in Udaipur -- sunset from a rooftop café.
-
Day 9 — Udaipur to Jodhpur
After breakfast, you'll be driven to Jodhpur, with stops along the way as the route allows. On arrival, check in to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure or exploring nearby. Jodhpur's old town spreads out in a wash of indigo-blue houses below Mehrangarh Fort, one of India's largest and best-preserved forts, still ruling the skyline from its sandstone cliff. Don't miss Mehrangarh Fort's ramparts and museum.
-
Day 10 — Jodhpur to Jaisalmer
After breakfast, you'll be driven to Jaisalmer, with stops along the way as the route allows. On arrival, check in to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure or exploring nearby. Rising out of the Thar Desert in honey-coloured sandstone, Jaisalmer is built around a living fort -- homes, shops and temples still occupy Jaisalmer Fort today, alongside the carved havelis of its merchant families. Don't miss folk music around a desert camp.
-
Day 11 — Jaisalmer to Bikaner
After breakfast, drive on to Bikaner. On arrival, check in and take some time to settle in before the day's sightseeing. A quieter desert city than its Rajasthani neighbours, Bikaner centres on Junagarh Fort -- notable for surviving intact without ever being conquered -- and its camel-breeding traditions. Don't miss old-city havelis and bazaars.
-
Day 12 — Bikaner to Mandawa
After breakfast, you'll be driven to Mandawa, with stops along the way as the route allows. On arrival, check in to your hotel and spend the rest of the day at leisure or exploring nearby. Mandawa is the best-known town of the Shekhawati region, where merchant families once competed to paint their havelis with elaborate frescoes -- turning the whole town into something close to an open-air gallery. Don't miss painted haveli facades in the old town.
-
Day 13 — Delhi · Departure
After breakfast, it's time to say goodbye — you'll be driven to Delhi and transferred onward for your flight or journey home.
