Met at the airport and taken to your hotel. In the evening, an easy introduction to the city.
Mughal Delhi in the morning: Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk by cycle-rickshaw. Then Humayun’s Tomb and Lutyens’ Delhi.
Drive about 230 km (145 miles) to Agra. Visit the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, with time set aside for sunset light on the Yamuna.

Amber Fort, the City Palace and the Jantar Mantar, with time in the bazaars.
Drive about 280 km (175 miles) to Delhi, or continue to Udaipur, Varanasi or Ranthambore if you are extending.
Your guide is chosen for the language you prefer and the things you love. Ask for Japanese or Russian and we will arrange it where we can.
Clear skies and pleasant days. Ideal for sightseeing.
Very hot, so we plan early starts and quiet afternoons.
Green, quiet and atmospheric, with fewer visitors.
Three days is the minimum and four covers Delhi, Agra and Jaipur comfortably. Five to seven days add a full day in Delhi, Fatehpur Sikri and a slower pace. Many guests extend to Rajasthan, Varanasi or Kerala.
Delhi to Agra is about 230 km (143 miles), Agra to Jaipur about 240 km (150 miles) and Jaipur back to Delhi about 280 km (175 miles). Each leg is a day’s drive of three and a half to six hours with stops.
Udaipur for lakes and palaces, Varanasi for spiritual India, Ranthambore for tigers, Amritsar for the Golden Temple, and Kerala for a quiet finish. We can combine more than one.
October to March is the most comfortable, with clear skies and pleasant days. December and January mornings can be foggy. April to June is very hot, and July to September is the monsoon, which is greener and quieter.
The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays, so we plan the route to place Agra on another day.
The classic order is Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and back to Delhi, which keeps the Taj Mahal early and ends with Rajasthan. We can reverse it to suit your flights.
