Today, we'll dive into the vibrant sights, sounds, and aromas of Delhi. Accompanied by our local guide, we'll explore the streets of Chawri Bazaar, witnessing how traditional life has remained largely unchanged. We'll also have the opportunity to savour India's renowned cuisine by trying local delicacies like chaat or lassi. In the afternoon, we'll visit the magnificent red-marbled Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India, and gain insights into the important role of religion in this nation of over a billion people. To end our city tour, we will also visit Raj Ghat, a memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, who was cremated here. We also take in a local Sikh temple.
Delhi - Jodhpur. This morning, we'll depart Delhi and head to the airport for our included flight to Jodhpur, the 700-year-old 'blue city' in the desert. We'll explore the intricate maze of blue architecture with the help of our guide. As we wander through the medieval streets and vibrant bazaars, we'll conclude the day with a dazzling sunset and a local dinner together. Let's see who can handle the spice!
Rising majestically above the Jodhpur skyline, the Mehrangarh Fort is perched on a rocky hill, providing stunning views of the city and the surrounding desert plains. Today, we will explore this extraordinary site, uncovering its rich history and taking in the magnificent scenery. In the afternoon, we'll journey to the traditional villages of the welcoming Bishnoi community to experience their distinctive way of life. We spend a second night in Jodhpur.
Jodhpur - Osian. We are leaving Jodhpur behind and venturing into the heart of the Thar Desert to our desert camp on the outskirts of Osian. We’ll embark on a jeep safari at sunset, exploring the rippling sand dunes. As night descends, we’ll head back to camp to experience genuine Rajasthani warmth and hospitality. Over dinner, we will share stories while admiring the starlit sky before retiring for the night in traditional Swiss tents.
Osian - Pushkar. Next, we'll visit Pushkar, one of India's holiest cities. As we explore this city, which is centered around a peaceful lake, we'll discover why Pushkar is so meaningful to Hindu pilgrims who strive to visit at least once in their lifetime. With its lively markets and delicious cuisine, Pushkar is a distinctive treasure in Rajasthan.
Pushkar - Jaipur. Known as the birthplace of yoga, Pushkar offers an ideal setting to reconnect with your inner yogi. This morning, we'll rise at sunrise for an included yoga session, embracing both physical and mental serenity.
Later, we embark on a leisurely hike to the Savitri Temple, located on a rocky outcrop with views over Pushkar. After returning to the hotel for a late breakfast, we'll head to Jaipur, known as the 'Pink City'. We plan to visit a local family for dinner this evening. But here's the exciting part - we'll be cooking too! We'll embrace our culinary instincts and prepare some delicious dishes, transforming into chefs in no time.
Today, we're off to the captivating Amber Fort in Rajasthan. To save our energy, we'll take a jeep ride up to the hilltop. Within its weathered walls lies a breathtaking oasis of beautifully decorated chambers and intricate artwork, as well as several layers and courtyards to explore.
Back in Jaipur, we'll visit Hawa Mahal for that essential symmetrical photo opportunity. Next, we'll explore Jantar Mantar, Jaipur’s historic observatory, which, despite being nearly two centuries old, still features remarkably advanced instruments.
Jaipur - Ranthambore National Park. Say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of rickshaws and scooters as we head toward the outskirts of one of India's largest and most renowned national parks. After settling into our accommodation, it's time to unwind. But don't relax too much, because later we'll be channelling our inner Indiana Jones and starting a jungle expedition to discover the secrets of Ranthambore Fort.
We're starting the day with an early morning sunrise safari, aiming to spot wild Bengal tigers, which live in great numbers in the prey-rich forests of Ranthambore National Park. The park boasts a diverse array of wildlife, including playful monkeys, lurking crocodiles, wild boars, deer, peacocks, and even elusive leopards, guaranteeing an exciting safari experience. After the safari, you can explore the local area or relax and recharge by the pool.
Ranthambore National Park - Abhaneri - Agra. Departing Ranthambore, our first stop will be the Abhaneri Stepwell, an incredible structure built over a thousand years ago to conserve water and provide relief from the intense heat. We'll pause to take some photos before continuing our journey to the captivating city of Agra, home to the legendary Taj Mahal. We're saving India's main attraction for tomorrow, but this afternoon we'll visit the stunning tomb of I’timad-ud-Daulah, affectionately referred to as the Baby Taj.
Agra - Delhi. Today is the day you've been waiting for! Rise early to witness the breathtaking sunrise casting a golden glow over the iconic Taj Mahal. As one of the Seven New Wonders of the World, and the world's greatest ever monument to love, our local guide will share fascinating stories about the Taj's rich history and reveal its hidden secrets while leading us to the most photogenic spots. With our minds buzzing and our cameras filled, we'll head back to the hotel for breakfast before starting our journey back to Delhi. Tonight, we'll celebrate our unforgettable adventure with a final Indian feast, some drinks, and maybe a little Bollywood dancing to conclude the trip. Cheers to the memories we've made!
