Tour Plan
01Day 1: Delhi Arrival & The Palace Welcome
Your royal journey begins the moment you touch down at Indira Gandhi International Airport. A private chauffeur awaits to escort you in a luxury sedan to The Leela Palace, New Delhi, located in the prestigious Diplomatic Enclave. Upon arrival, the fragrance of fresh jasmine and the sight of grand chandeliers set the tone for your stay. Spend your afternoon unwinding in your suite, which features hand-woven tapestries and state-of-the-art technology. If you feel energized, take a dip in the highest rooftop pool in the city, offering panoramic views of the capital’s skyline. This evening, we recommend dining at Jamavar, the hotel’s signature Indian restaurant, to sample authentic North Indian flavors before your sightseeing begins tomorrow.
02Day 2: The Contrast of Old & New Delhi
After a lavish breakfast, your private guide introduces you to the layers of India’s capital. Start in Old Delhi at the Jama Masjid, one of India’s largest mosques, followed by an exhilarating rickshaw ride through the bustling bazaars of Chandni Chowk. Pass by the formidable Red Fort before transitioning to the wide, tree-lined avenues of New Delhi. You will visit the poignant Raj Ghat, the towering Qutub Minar, and the stunning Humayun’s Tomb—a precursor to the Taj Mahal. A drive past the India Gate and Parliament House provides a glimpse into the country’s political heart. End your day with a peaceful visit to the Bangla Sahib Sikh Temple, where the community kitchen serves thousands daily, before returning to the sanctuary of The Leela.
03Day 3: The Mughal Majesty of Agra
Today, you head south to Agra, the former seat of the Mughal Empire. The four-hour drive concludes at the Oberoi Amarvilas, your luxury residence for the night. This hotel sits a mere 600 meters from the Taj Mahal, ensuring the monument remains a constant companion during your stay. After checking in, visit the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site made of red sandstone that housed generations of Emperors. Later, explore the “Baby Taj” (Itmad-ud-Daulah), renowned for its delicate marble inlay work. As the sun sets, retreat to your hotel balcony to watch the Taj Mahal glow in the twilight—a view that remains etched in memory forever.
04Day 4: Sunrise at the Taj & The Pink City
Rise before dawn for the ultimate travel experience: the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Watching the first light hit the white marble is a spiritual moment, free from the heavy midday crowds. After returning for breakfast, begin your journey toward Jaipur. En route, you stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a perfectly preserved red sandstone ghost city, and the Abhaneri Step Wells, an ancient engineering marvel consisting of 3,500 narrow steps. By late afternoon, you arrive at The Leela Palace Jaipur. Nestled against the Aravalli hills, this palace resort features silver-domed heritage architecture and vast courtyards. Spend your evening exploring the 250-year-old Hindu temple on the grounds or visiting the illuminated Birla Temple in the city center.
05Day 5: Jaipur’s Forts & Vibrant Bazaars
The “Pink City” comes alive today as you head to the Amber Fort. Ascend the fort in a Jeep to explore its formidable ramparts and the dazzling Mirror Palace. On your way back, stop at the Jal Mahal, a palace appearing to float in the middle of Man Sagar Lake, and the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) for a photograph of its intricate latticed windows. The afternoon focuses on the City Palace, where the royal family still resides, and the Jantar Mantar observatory. Before returning to your luxury resort, dive into the local markets. Jaipur is world-famous for its blue pottery, Kundan-Meena jewelry, and hand-printed textiles—perfect souvenirs of your royal Rajasthani sojourn.
06Day 6: Jaipur to Delhi & Onward Journey
Your final morning in Rajasthan allows for a slow breakfast in the palace gardens. Depending on your flight schedule, you may enjoy a final spa treatment at the hotel or a short visit to the Albert Hall Museum. Your chauffeur then transfers you to Jaipur Airport for your flight to Delhi, or directly back to the capital via the expressway. As you head toward your international departure, you carry the “Leela” experience with you—a journey defined by regal elegance, historic wonders, and the finest luxury hospitality India has to offer.
