March 16–18: Arrival in Delhi and Agra
On day 1, a tour representative will meet you at the Delhi airport and escort you to your hotel. The next day, you’ll travel four hours to Agra, home of India’s best-known landmark, the Taj Mahal. At dusk, you can watch the setting sun cast warm hues on the Yamuna river.
- Taj Mahal: Some lovers send flowers; some write love songs. Shah Jahan built his late wife this stunning white marble palace, which is decked out with deep-blue lapis lazuli and agate on the inside.
- Agra Fort: This 16th-century fortress fended off attack with its imposing red sandstone walls, battlements, and moat.
March 18–19: Jaipur
A five-hour drive takes you to Jaipur, where you’ll spend 2 days taking in the sights in India’s Pink City. Stops include the City Palace, where landscaped gardens and palace buildings depict opulent Mughal and Rajasthan architecture.
- Amer Fort: This intricate marble and sandstone fortress contains a dazzling hall filled with mirrors and stone carvings. You can ride an elephant to the fort (fees apply).
- Hawa Mahal: Nearly a thousand windows and dozens of balconies are carved into the façade of this palace, which was inspired by one of Krishna’s crowns.
March 20–22: Udaipur
You’ll hop back on the bus for a seven-hour ride to Udaipur. The landscape here is dominated by mountain ranges and placid lakes—a romantic setting that’s earned Udaipur the nickname “Venice of the East.” In Ranakpur, you’ll see a temple adorned with more than 1,400 pillars.
- City Palace and Museum sits on the edge of Lake Pichola. Its granite terraces and marble arches meld medieval and Chinese architecture.
- Jagdish Temple: Carved statues of elephants and dancers adorn the main spire of this three-story temple built to honor Vishnu.
March 23–25: Pushkar
Pushkar is considered sacred to Hindus, who make the pilgrimage here to bathe in the waters of Pushkar Lake. After the six-hour drive from Udaipur, you’ll have leisure time to explore the setting at your own pace.
- Holi festival: Toss colorful powders at passersby and wish everyone a happy Holi—“Bura na mano, Holi hai!”—during the annual celebration.
- See the sunset over Pushkar Lake. Legend holds that the lake was formed from a lotus blossom dropped by Brahma.
- Browse the bazaars: Roadside stalls are hung with colorful silks and statues of Hindu deities.
March 26: Delhi
The tour comes to a close with a visit to one of the biggest metropolises in the world, Delhi, which you’ll reach by evening train on day 10. On day 11, a half-day tour spotlights the presidential building and the India Gate, which resembles Paris’s Arc de Triomphe.
- Lodi Gardens: 90 acres of fountains, lakes, and rose gardens dating back to the 15th century
- Humayun’s Tomb: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this 16th-century domed tomb was essential to the evolution of Mughal architecture.
