Itinerary
Begin with Humayun's Tomb — the UNESCO-listed Mughal masterpiece — followed by the magnificent Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque. End with a rickshaw ride through the buzzing lanes of Chandni Chowk.
Explore the towering Qutub Minar and drive past the iconic India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan. Spend your third evening enjoying Delhi's thriving restaurant and nightlife scene before departing south tomorrow.
Drive 220 km to Agra — the city of the Taj Mahal — and check in to your hotel. Visit the magnificent Agra Fort in the afternoon, the red sandstone Mughal fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site overlooking the Yamuna River.
Wake before dawn for the Taj Mahal at sunrise — perhaps the most extraordinary single moment in all of India travel. Drive to Fatehpur Sikri on route to Ranthambore — the abandoned Mughal city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century.
Drive to Ranthambore National Park and check in to your jungle lodge or resort. Brief with your expert wildlife naturalist and enjoy the sounds of the forest as you prepare for tomorrow's safari.

Drive to Jaipur — Rajasthan's vibrant Pink City — and explore the glittering Johari Bazaar in the evening. Jaipur is a shopper's paradise — gemstones, blue pottery, block-print fabrics, and Rajasthani silver jewellery await.
Visit Amber Fort — Rajasthan's crown jewel and UNESCO World Heritage Site — with its stunning Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors) and sweeping views over Maota Lake. Photograph the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) and explore the royal Jantar Mantar observatory.
Fly from Jaipur to Goa — Panaji or Dabolim Airport — and arrive on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Check in to your beachside hotel or resort and spend your first Goa evening with your feet in the sand and a cocktail at sunset.
Explore the magnificent Se Cathedral and Basilica of Bom Jesus in Old Goa — both UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the finest colonial Portuguese architecture in Asia. Spend the afternoon at the golden sands of Calangute or Baga Beach.
Visit a traditional Goan spice plantation for a guided walk and authentic Goan lunch. Browse the famous Anjuna Flea Market for handmade jewellery, textiles, and local crafts, or simply relax on the beach for your final afternoon.
