Itinerary
Day 1 - Delhi
They take their horns very seriously on the roads here. A toot can mean anything from "I'm passing you", "I'm behind you", "get out of the way", or "you look very nice today".
- Evening pre-departure meeting and an optional meal with the group
Hotel Perfect or similarDay 2 - Agra - Taj Mahal
Leave your expectations on the train because this is better than any postcard. Is that a tear in your eye, or are your allergies playing up again?
- Visit the majestic Taj Mahal
- Optional trip to Agra Fort
Hotel Royal Residency or similarDay 3 - Tordi Garh
Everything seems brighter in this tiny village - the saris, the smiles, the marigold chains they put around your neck when you get here. Good thing you bought three pairs of Ray Bans for $11 in the markets of Delhi.
- Drive through beautiful countryside to Tordi Garh
- Learn about local life and meet families in this remote town, where few travellers visit
- Spend the night in the palace at Tordi
Hotel Tordi Garh or similarDay 4-5 - Jaipur
After the Amber Fort, Palace of the Winds and Johari Jewellery Bazaar, let your local tour guide show you his favourite food hall for masala dosa and thalis.

- Explore the Old Bazaar and The Palace of the Winds with a tour guide
- Free time to get to know Jaipur
Hotel Mrignayani Palace or similarDay 6-7 - Delhi
Back in Delhi there's time for a hot shave and a haircut from one of the barbers lining the streets. You'll go home looking fresh as a daisy.
