There is an India to be discovered slowly, between the white marble of the Mughal emperors and the golden dunes of the desert, between the jungles where the tiger still reigns supreme and the palaces of the maharajas reflected in their lakes. A journey of colours, scents and silences, guided step by step by those who truly know this land.
Day 1 – Welcome to India
Arrival in Delhi, airport welcome and transfer to an elegant historic hotel in the heart of the capital. The rest of the day is free to rest and let the first scents of India embrace you.
Days 2–3 – The Mughal dream
On to Agra, the ancient imperial capital. A mighty red sandstone fort and a small jewel of inlaid marble, considered the prelude to the most famous monument in the world. At dawn the next day, the thrill of the Taj Mahal as the first light sets its marble aglow, before continuing to a Mughal ghost city suspended in time.
Days 3–5 – The tiger’s kingdom
A lodge surrounded by nature, at the gates of one of India’s most fascinating national parks. Jeep safaris at dawn and dusk among ancient ruins, lakes and forests, on the trail of the Bengal tiger, sambar deer, leopards and hundreds of bird species. An experience that stays in your heart.
Days 5–7 – Palaces and bazaars
The capital of Rajasthan welcomes you with its antique-pink façades. A hilltop fortress with its halls of mirrors, the Palace of the Winds, the royal residence and an astronomical observatory unlike any other in the world. Time to lose yourself in bazaars of textiles, jewellery and precious stones.
Days 7–9 – At the edge of the desert
On the edge of the Thar Desert, one of India’s most spectacular fortresses towers over a sea of blue-painted houses. A jeep excursion through rural villages to discover traditions unchanged for centuries, and a stroll through the markets of spices, silver and textiles around the old clock tower.
Days 9–11 – Romantic Rajasthan
Along the way, a stop at an extraordinary white marble temple with hundreds of carved pillars, each one different from the next. Then Udaipur, the “Venice of the East”: palaces reflected in the water, gardens of the princesses and a sunset boat ride on the lake. The stay ends with a flight to Delhi and the journey home.
