You’ll be met on arrival in Delhi and assisted with the transfer to your hotel. Overnight in Delhi.
Day 2 : Delhi (India’s Capital City)

Spend the day in Delhi with guided sightseeing covering many of the major monuments of India’s capital city. Start with Jama Masjid - India’s grandest mosque before proceeding to Humayun’s Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a precursor to the Taj Mahal. Other places visited will include Qutb Minar- the tallest minaret tower in Asia. Raj Ghat, the simple yet powerful memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and the historic Red Fort.

Day 4 : Agra – Karauli

Time around Agra in the morning, maybe including a return visit to the Taj if once wasn’t enough, along with other sites- Agra Fort, the Baby Taj and more. Later depart Agra and drive 3 hours to the small town of Karauli where you can stay in a century-old palatial home with the descendants of the former rulers of this region. Karauli is a fascinating town which is little visited by tourists—local people love to stop and talk to visitors, and the pace of life here is definitely slower than in the bigger cities elsewhere on this route. Overnight in Karauli.
Day 5 : Exploring Karauli

Spend a full day around Karauli including a visit to the splendid City Palace which is being slowly, thoroughly, and lovingly restored to its former glory. There is also the option to visit the nearby Kali Devi Wildlife Sanctuary, which has similar wildlife to the more famous Ranthambore National Park but is far less touristic. Overnight in Karauli.
Day 6 : Karauli – Ranthambore

Depart Karauli and drive 4 hours to Ranthambore, the last stronghold of the Royal Bengal tiger in Rajasthan. Take a jeep safari into the Park in the afternoon in search of not only tigers but leopards, sloth bears, nilgai, crocodiles and many more. Overnight in Sawai Madhopur near Ranthambore.
Day 7 : Ranthambore National Park

Today you’ll take safaris into Ranthambore National Park at dawn and dusk by jeep, in the company of a well-trained naturalist who will spot wildlife and inform you about the park, its history, and its animal inhabitants. Overnight in Sawai Madhopur near Ranthambore.
Day 8 : Ranthambore – Jaipur

Day 9 : Jaipur

Enjoy sightseeing in Jaipur, including Amber Fort, the City Palace, and the Palace of the Winds. The capital of Rajasthan is a unique city, equal parts ancient Mughal capital and modern metropolis.
