Day 1: Arrival In Delhi
Our trip to India is about to begin. Our first destination is Delhi, the most populous city in the country, a unique place in the world that perfectly represents the extraordinary richness and contrasts of this incredible nation. We land in the afternoon or during the night, and once we arrive at the airport, we'll meet our assistant who will accompany us to the hotel.

Day 2: Delhi
Delhi is one of the most populous metropolises in India, a city of a thousand colors. Originally there were 7 ancient cities; New Delhi is a combination of these 7 ancient cities, hence the contrasts of this incredible country. After visiting for a day by rickshaw the lively alleys of Delhi, which house several bazaars, you can experience the colors, sounds, and aromas of this wonderful country. We immerse ourselves in the chaos of Chandni Chowk, the nerve center of the old city, a chaotic mix of shops, street vendors, monkeys, sacred cows, street food stalls, improbable electrical wires, and many other things beyond all imagination.
On the way back, we pass in front of the exterior Red Fort of Delhi, built by Emperor Shah Jahan. In the afternoon, we depart for a panoramic visit of the British city center, from where wide avenues branch off, bordered by the Parliament, ministries, embassies, and the famous India Gate. We visit the great Sikh temple Gurudwara Bangla Sahib for a first approach to Indian mysticism. Overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 3: Delhi – Abhaneri – Jaipur (350 Kms / 5 – 6h)
After breakfast, we depart for Jaipur. Along the way, we stop to visit Abhaneri and the famous Chand Baori, the most famous and impressive stepwell in India—a true palace that, instead of rising to the sky, descends into a labyrinth of stairs in search of water, which is very rare in these areas. In the afternoon, a “village safari” is planned aboard a Jugaad, the “Mercedes” of Indian villages. Overnight stay at the hotel
(Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included)
Day 4: Jaipur
We start the day with the beautiful Amber Fort, perched on a hilltop, one of Rajasthan’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, famous for its rooms decorated with mirrors. We descend by jeep and return to Jaipur, where we visit the fabulous astronomical observatory, Jantar Mantar. Afterwards, we take a stroll through the colorful bazaar, with time for shopping or relaxation at the hotel.
