MealsFew journeys in India capture the soul of royalty as perfectly as staying in Rajasthan’s most iconic palace hotels. This itinerary is crafted for travelers who want more than sightseeing; it is designed for those who wish to experience the grandeur of India’s regal heritage. Over ten days, the tour blends the charm of Delhi and Agra with the timeless magic of Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur. The highlights are two unforgettable stays: Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, once the residence of the Maharaja, and Oberoi Udaivilas in Udaipur, a lakeside masterpiece renowned worldwide for its beauty and hospitality.
Along the way, you will witness the majesty of the Taj Mahal, wander through Jaipur’s pink-hued bazaars, climb the mighty Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, and glide across Lake Pichola on a private boat. Each evening returns you to settings that evoke another era – gardens where kings once strolled, courtyards lit by lanterns, and rooms adorned with antique furniture. This journey is an immersion into the cultural richness of Rajasthan, paired with the indulgence of modern luxury.
Arrive at Delhi International Airport, where a private chauffeur greets you and escorts you to your luxury hotel, such as The Imperial. This historic property showcases colonial architecture, art-filled corridors, and lush gardens. Spend the evening unwinding after your long flight, enjoying high tea in the grand lounge or a gourmet dinner in one of the signature restaurants. Overnight stay in Delhi.
After breakfast, begin your exploration of Delhi with a private guide. Visit Humayun’s Tomb, the architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal, and Qutub Minar, the tallest brick minaret in the world. Drive through the broad avenues of New Delhi to admire India Gate and the imposing Presidential Palace. Later, step into Old Delhi where a rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk brings alive the sights, sounds, and aromas of one of Asia’s busiest bazaars. Explore the magnificent Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque. Return to your hotel in the evening for a relaxed dinner.
This morning, drive to Agra (approx. 4 hours) and check into The Oberoi Amarvilas, where every room offers a direct view of the Taj Mahal. In the afternoon, explore Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was once the seat of Mughal power. As evening falls, watch the sun set behind the white marble dome of the Taj Mahal from your balcony or enjoy a guided visit inside the monument as it glows in warm hues. Overnight at Amarvilas.
Wake early to witness the Taj Mahal at sunrise – a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. After breakfast, begin the drive to Jaipur. En route, stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the red sandstone city built by Emperor Akbar and later abandoned. Continue your journey to Jaipur, the Pink City. Upon arrival, check in at the legendary Rambagh Palace, where opulent suites, manicured gardens, and royal courtyards welcome you.

Continue to the City Palace, still home to Jaipur’s royal family, and admire its museum collection of costumes, arms, and artwork. Visit the astronomical wonder of Jantar Mantar and stop for photos at the iconic Hawa Mahal. In the afternoon, stroll through Jaipur’s vibrant bazaars filled with gemstones, textiles, and blue pottery. Return to Rambagh Palace in the evening, where a cultural folk performance and royal dining experience await.
Begin your day with a guided heritage walk through Jaipur’s old quarters, exploring hidden temples, artisan workshops, and spice markets. Later, return to Rambagh Palace for leisure – perhaps indulge in a spa treatment inspired by Ayurvedic traditions or enjoy high tea in the marble verandahs.

Walk through the bustling Clock Tower Market, where spices, handicrafts, and textiles line the narrow lanes. Optional: take a Bishnoi village safari to witness traditional crafts and rural lifestyles. Evening free at your palace hotel.
