Drive past the imposing India Gate, the majestic Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House), and the Parliament House. Conclude your first day with a visit to the Qutub Minar, a 73-meter tall victory tower that stands as a masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture. Enjoy a quiet dinner at the hotel, preparing for the cultural immersion ahead.
02Day 2: The Heart of Old Delhi and Heritage Sites
Start your morning with a guided tour of Old Delhi, the 17th-century walled city. Visit Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque, before diving into the sensory chaos of Chandni Chowk via a traditional rickshaw ride. Pass the formidable Red Fort and pay your respects at Raj Ghat, the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. In the afternoon, shift your focus to the elegant Humayun’s Tomb, which served as the architectural inspiration for the Taj Mahal. Spend your evening exploring the lush gardens of the Taj Palace or indulging in a signature treatment at the Jiva Spa.

After a lavish breakfast, depart for Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. Upon arrival, check in at the Taj Hotel & Convention Centre, Agra, located just minutes from the Taj Mahal. Begin your sightseeing with the Agra Fort, a massive red sandstone fortress that once served as the main residence of the Mughal Emperors. Later, visit the Tomb of I’timad-ud-Daulah, affectionately known as the “Baby Taj” for its delicate marble inlay work. End the day at Mehtab Bagh, the moonlight garden across the river, to witness the Taj Mahal glowing in the soft light of sunset.
04Day 4: Sunrise at the Taj Mahal and Drive to Jaipur
Witness the world’s most famous symbol of love, the Taj Mahal, at sunrise. The early morning light transforms the white marble into shades of soft pink and gold, offering a serene experience before the crowds arrive. Return to the hotel for breakfast before departing for Jaipur. En route, stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the deserted red sandstone city built by Emperor Akbar. Continue your journey to the Pink City and check in at the legendary Rambagh Palace or Taj Jai Mahal Palace, where you will experience the true meaning of Rajputana royalty.

Spend your evening browsing the vibrant local bazaars for textiles and gemstones.
