We'll pick you up from Delhi airport and take you to our accommodation in the heart of the city. You'll then have plenty of time to chill out and meet everyone in your group.

Wandering the streets of Chawri Bazaar, our local guide will show us how little traditional life has changed. We'll get a taste into India's renowned cuisine as we sample local delicacies. This afternoon we visit the magnificent, red-marbled Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India,

and learn how religion has shaped the country. To finish off the city tour, we'll also visit Rajghat Memorial, where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated,

and visit a Sikh Temple.

Leaving the hectic streets of Delhi, this morning we'll catch a short flight to Jodhpur, a 700-year-old city in the desert famously known as the "blue city". We'll hop on some tuk tuks for a tour of the city before watching the sunset and heading out for dinner.

Towering over the Jodhpur skyline, the magnificent Mehrangarh Fort sits on a rocky hilltop, offering breathtaking views of the city and desert plains below. Today, we'll explore this remarkable site, delving into the area's rich history and enjoying the stunning vistas. In the afternoon, we'll visit the traditional villages of the warm and hospitable Bishnoi people to experience their unique way of life.

It's time to leave city life behind as we venture into the Thar Desert. We'll jump on jeeps for a sunset safari amongst rolling sand dunes. This evening we're back to camp to experience true Rajasthani hospitality. We'll enjoy a traditional dance and music performance before dinner and

tonight we'll sleep in traditional Swiss tents.

Next up is Pushkar, renowned as one of India's most sacred cities. Roaming around this city centered around a serene lake, we'll learn why Pushkar holds such significance for Hindu pilgrims, who aim to make at least one pilgrimage here in their lifetime. With vibrant markets and mouthwatering cuisine, Pushkar stands out as a unique gem in Rajasthan. And what better place than the birthplace of yoga to reconnect with your inner yogi? Tonight, we'll unwind with an included yoga session, embracing both physical and mental tranquility.

Where better than the birthplace of yoga to get in touch with your inner yogi, so this morning we'll stretch into physical and mental peace with an included sunrise yoga class. After breakfast, we'll head up to Savitri temple. Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking Pushkar, we'll see the incredible landscape from above. Next, it's time to head to Jaipur, aka "Pink City", where extravagant rose-tinted buildings await. This evening we visit a local family and help them prepare dinner.

The romantic Rajasthani Amber Fort awaits us today, and we'll travel up the hill by jeep. The rugged, time-ravaged walls of this imposing

structure hide a paradise inside, with gorgeously decorated rooms and intricate artwork. Once we're done oo-ing and ah-ing, we'll swing by Hawa Mahal, then visit Jantar Mantar, Jaipur's Observatory. At almost 200 years old, it still houses incredibly sophisticated instruments, another marvel of Indian achievement.

Today, let's embrace a bit of adventure! Bid farewell to the chaos of rickshaws and scooters as we switch gears and venture towards the outskirts of one of India's biggest and most famous national parks. Once we're settled into our accom, it's time to kick back and relax. But don't get too comfortable because later, we're channelling our inner Indiana Jones and embarking on a jungle expedition to uncover the mysteries of Ranthambore Fort.

Time for some tiger action! We're kicking off bright and early this morning with a sunrise safari, hoping to catch a glimpse of these majestic big cats in their natural habitat. Ranthambore National Park is full of diverse wildlife - from playful monkeys and lurking crocodiles to wild boars, deer, peacocks, and even elusive leopards - ensuring our safari is packed with excitement. After our safari, feel free to explore the local surroundings or simply unwind and recharge by the pool.

Leaving the jungle behind, we'll make a pit stop at the Abhaneri Stepwell, a fascinating structure constructed over a millennium ago to preserve water and offer relief from the scorching heat. After snapping some photos, we'll hit the road towards enchanting Agra, giving you a taste of what's in store by visiting the exquisite tomb of I'timãd-ud-Daulah, affectionately known as the Baby Taj. The excitement is building...

Wake up early and witness the dawn illuminate the famous Taj Mahal with a mesmerizing golden glow. Yup, we've saved the best til' last. One of the 7 New Wonders of the World, our local guide will share the Taj's history and secrets and show us some iconic spots to snap pics. With awoken imaginations and full camera rolls, we head back to the hotel for breakfast and drive back to South Delhi. Tonight we celebrate our adventure together with one last Indian feast, some drinks, and maybe even some Bollywood dancing.
