Arrive in India's commercial capital. Transfer to your landmark hotel overlooking the Arabian Sea.

Fly from Mumbai to the romantic city of Udaipur. Transfer to the Taj Lake Palace, floating on Lake Pichola.

Drive to Jodhpur, stopping en route to see the intricately carved Jain temple of Ranakpur. Arrive in Jodhpur and check into Umaid Bhawan Palace.
Mehrangarh stands four hundred feet above a city painted a hundred shades of blue — Kipling called it the work of giants and angels, and five centuries later it still intimidates beautifully.

Drive east to Nimaj. Check into your luxury tents overlooking the Chhatra Sagar reservoir and enjoy a nature walk.
Chhatrasagar is a nineteenth-century reservoir with tents on its dam wall — a hunting-camp conceit reborn as one of Rajasthan's most graceful stays, run by the family whose great-grandfather built the lake.

Drive to Jaipur. Check into the magnificent Rambagh Palace hotel and enjoy the afternoon at leisure.
Jaipur carries its royal legacy in working order — Amber still commands its hilltop, the City Palace still houses a royal family, and the Hawa Mahal's 953 windows still catch the morning light as intended in 1799.

Tour Amber Fort in the morning, visit the royal observatory Jantar Mantar, and browse the local bazaar for jewelry.
This is a city of living workshops: block printers, gem cutters, miniature painters and puppeteers whose trades predate the city itself.

Drive into the rugged Aravalli hills to Amanbagh, a serene wellness sanctuary. Unwind by the pool or enjoy a spa treatment.
Amanbagh rises like a Mughal dream in the Ajabgarh valley — pink marble pavilions in a walled garden oasis, on the site of a maharaja's hunting camp, ringed by the Aravallis and almost nothing else.

Enjoy a morning yoga session, relax with an Ayurvedic massage, and take a guided walk through the surrounding Ajabgarh village.
The valley around it holds the region's strangest treasure: Bhangarh, India's most famous ghost town, abandoned by decree and gorgeous in ruin.

Drive east to Agra. Check into the Oberoi Amarvilas resort and witness the Taj Mahal at sunset.
Agra exists on an itinerary for one reason, and the reason justifies everything: the Taj at dawn, before the day's heat and crowds, is architecture's most complete sentence.

Visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Return for breakfast, then tour the massive red sandstone Agra Fort.
The marble changes costume through the day — pearl-grey before dawn, amber at sunset. Meet it at the right hour and it silences even the well-travelled.

Drive to Delhi. Check into your heritage hotel and enjoy the afternoon at leisure, shopping in Connaught Place.

Tour Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar, and drive past the parliament house and President's Palace.
Old and New Delhi are separate cities that happen to share an airport; give each its own morning and the capital makes sense.
