Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Delhi
Welcome to India! Your journey starts in Delhi. Settle in and then head out for a sightseeing tour of the main attractions in Old Delhi: the Qutub Minar, Lodhi Gardens, and Jama Masjid.
Day 2: Delhi Sightseeing
Take a full-day tour of Delhi today through the city's monuments. Stops will include the Lotus Temple, National Museum, Janpath, Rajghat, and more.
Chat with a local specialist who can help organize your trip.
Day 3: Transfer to Agra, Visit the Taj Mahal
Leave the capital city behind and move to the city of Agra for two nights. Agra is best known for being the home of the magnificent Taj Mahal, which you can visit at sunrise or sunset—or both, or in-between.
Day 4: Explore Agra
Spend another day exploring Agra. Get up early to watch the sunrise at the Taj, or venture further afield. The Sikandra and Agra forts are also well worth a visit.
Day 5: Transfer to Ranthambore National Park
Drive from Agra to Ranthambore National Park, one of northern India's largest national parks. You'll spend the next three days amidst the lush greenery of the park.
Day 6: Tiger Safari
Seek out some of the park's more elusive residents on a tiger safari, where you'll travel with a guide in search of the Royal Bengal tigers that call the park home. Keep an eye out for some of the tigers' neighbors as well, including sloth bears, hyenas, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birds.
Day 7: Explore Ranthambore Park
On your second full day in the park, you can continue your search for the tigers, or keep exploring the landscape. Consider a bird-watching tour or pay a visit to Indian's second-largest banyan tree, the Ranthambhore Fort, or one of the area's many lakes, such as the Rajbagh, Padam, and Malik Talaos.
Day 8: Ranthambore to Jaipur
Continue to Jaipur, the gateway to the desert state of Rajasthan. After you arrive, your guide will take you on a tour of the city's landmarks, including its palaces and bazaars. You'll end at the Amer Fort, where you'll have dinner and take in a sound and light show.
Day 9: Explore Jaipur
On your second day in the city, head up to the hilltop forts to take in the views of the city or visit the Man Sagar lake and its Jal Mahal water palace.
Day 10: Return to Delhi & Depart
Return to Delhi to head home or onward to your next adventure.
