Kick-off in wonderfully chaotic Delhi, soaking up the sights, sounds and smells. Delhi boasts a rich and varied history, where you'll come across tombs, temples and ruins, alongside a modern, bustling city centre.

Continue on to Jaipur, which is as mesmerising as it is colourful and chaotic. At its heart lies the ‘Pink City’, the old walled quarter, where you’ll stumble upon the splendours of Jaipur’s majestic past including the Hawa Mahal and the impressive City Palace.

Striking architecture and colourful cities are not the only jewels in Rajasthan’s treasure chest. Ranthambore National Park, a beautiful national park, is another precious gem, boasting a rich wildlife population, including tigers and leopards. 

Agra, the final destination, is where you will gasp at the beauty of the magnificent Taj Mahal.
