Arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport and meet your representative for a private transfer. Settle in with hotel check-in after 14:00 (early check-in on request, subject to availability). Shake off jet lag with a light orientation: drive past India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan, then a calm stroll in Lodhi Garden. If time allows, visit Gurudwara Bangla Sahib to hear soothing kirtan. Your tour manager briefs you on timings, tickets, and luggage tags for tomorrow. Overnight: Delhi. (Typical check-out tomorrow 11:00–12:00).

After breakfast, check-out (11:00–12:00) and cruise the Yamuna Expressway to Agra. On arrival, hotel check-in after 14:00. Begin at the UNESCO-listed Agra Fort, tracing Mughal court life in sandstone palaces and river-view pavilions. As the light softens, head to Mehtab Bagh to preview the Taj across the Yamuna—calmer, photogenic, and a perfect warm-up. Evening at leisure or explore ethical marble-inlay studios. Prepare for a sunrise Taj visit. Overnight: Agra.

Meet the Taj Mahal at dawn as marble hues shift from pearl to rose; your guide decodes symmetry, pietra dura, and Persian garden axes. Return for breakfast, freshen up, and check-out (11:00–12:00). Drive toward Jaipur, optionally pausing at Fatehpur Sikri (UNESCO ghost city) for red-sandstone grandeur. Reach the Pink City for hotel check-in after 14:00. Ease in with a lassi stop, a photo at Hawa Mahal, and a hand-held bazaar walk for lac bangles and blue pottery. Overnight: Jaipur.

After breakfast, jeep up to Amber Fort for Sheesh Mahal and rampart views over Maota Lake. Back in the city, explore City Palace galleries and the precision instruments of Jantar Mantar. Post-lunch, choose a hands-on block-printing workshop or meet gem-cutters to understand Jaipur’s craft economy. As evening falls, attend aarti at Govind Dev Ji Temple or follow a curated street-food trail (hygiene-checked vendors). Return to your hotel to unwind. Overnight: Jaipur. (Check-out tomorrow 11:00–12:00).

Check-out (11:00–12:00) and drive across the Aravalli foothills and desert scrub to the Blue City. On arrival, hotel check-in after 14:00. Stretch your legs on a heritage amble from Toorji Ka Jhalra stepwell to the Clock Tower (Ghantaghar) and Sardar Market, tasting pyaaz kachori and makhaniya lassi. Rooftop cafés offer violet-hour views of Mehrangarh. Your guide sets tomorrow’s timing to beat crowds at the fort. Overnight: Jodhpur.

Dive into Mehrangarh Fort—palanquins, arms galleries, and cannon-lined ramparts above cobalt lanes. Continue to serene Jaswant Thada (marble cenotaphs and gardens). After lunch, pick one: a Bishnoi village mini-safari (pottery, weaving, conservation ethos), a guided Rao Jodha Desert Park nature walk, or a blue-lane photo trail from stepwell to fort base. Shop for spices, brassware, and hand-loomed textiles before a rooftop dinner with folk music. Overnight: Jodhpur. (Check-out tomorrow 11:00–12:00).

After breakfast, check-out (11:00–12:00) and head to Udaipur. Optional detour at Ranakpur Jain Temple to admire 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars (dress/entry norms apply). Arrive for hotel check-in after 14:00. As the sun lowers, take a Lake Pichola cruise—City Palace, Jag Mandir, and the Lake Palace shimmer like floating marble. Dinner at a lakeside venue rounds off a relaxed arrival day. Overnight: Udaipur.

Immerse in the sprawling City Palace: Mor Chowk peacocks, mirrored salons, royal photographs, and lake-framed balconies. Visit Jagdish Temple, then unwind in fountain-filled Saheliyon-ki-Bari. For something hands-on, join a miniature-painting demo or a spice-led cooking session. Sunset paints the ghats gold; later, the Dharohar folk show at Bagore-ki-Haveli brings puppetry, ghoomar, and percussion alive. Browse for pichwai art, leather journals, and silver. Overnight: Udaipur. (Check-out tomorrow 11:00–12:00).

Check-out (11:00–12:00) and drive north to sacred Pushkar. Hotel check-in after 14:00; your guide explains ghat etiquette on a gentle circuit of Pushkar Lake, where lamps flicker at sunset and chants carry across the water. Visit the rare Brahma Temple, then wander café-lined lanes for silver trinkets, tie-dye scarves, and herbal teas—remember Pushkar’s vegetarian, low-alcohol ethos. If dates align, the Pushkar Fair adds camel carts, folk contests, and riotous colour. Overnight: Pushkar.

At dawn, join a serene lakeside aarti, return for breakfast, and check-out (11:00–12:00). Drive to Delhi with comfort stops. If your flight is late, a day-use room near the airport or in the city can be arranged (subject to availability) for a wash-and-change. Enjoy a final craft stop or relaxed thali before your private airport transfer. Assisted baggage handling and well-timed drop ensure a calm departure. Carry home Rajasthan’s defining contrasts—imperial avenues, Rajput strongholds, lakeside romance, sacred shores—and the Taj’s timeless glow.
