Enjoy a full-day tour of the capital today, highlighting the great contrasts between Old and New Delhi. This includes the enormous Jama Masjid, from which you can walk through the bazaars and narrow streets — a great way to absorb the sights and sounds of Old Delhi. You will also see the monumental buildings set along wide boulevards of Lutyens' New Delhi, including India Gate and the President's residence.

Enjoy another boat trip on the Ganges this morning to see the city in another light as locals bathe, wash and worship. You'll also see the famous cremation ghats. After some time to have brunch and relax, this afternoon you'll have a guided tour of the city. Visit major sites, including the Vishwanath Temple (Golden Temple), Durga Temple, and Temple of Mother India.
-
Fly to Agra today. You're met on arrival by your driver and private guide to spend the afternoon exploring the city sights, including the impressive Red Fort and aptly named Baby Taj across the Yamuna River. This evening, enjoy dinner with a view of the Taj Mahal, as it sparkles in the distance.
-
Rise early this morning to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise (potentially later if there is fog, depending on the time of year). After breakfast, travel to Jaipur with your private driver via the fascinating abandoned 16th-century city of Fatehpur Sikri. On arrival in Jaipur, take the evening to explore your luxurious palace hotel and enjoy cocktails out on the terrace.
