Luxury Rajasthan with Varanasi :- Detail Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival in Delhi

Upon arrival at Delhi International Airport, guests are welcomed by the representative of Top Indian Holidays and transferred to their luxury hotel. Delhi immediately introduces travelers to India’s historical depth through its blend of Mughal architecture, colonial avenues and modern urban life. After check-in, the remainder of the afternoon is reserved for relaxation after the international journey.

Later in the evening, enjoy a panoramic introduction to New Delhi while driving past India Gate, Parliament House and Rashtrapati Bhavan. Wide ceremonial roads and sandstone government buildings create an elegant atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the older parts of the city. Your guide will explain how different dynasties and colonial influences shaped Delhi across centuries.

The evening remains free for leisure or fine dining at one of Delhi’s luxury restaurants. Guests may enjoy authentic North Indian cuisine or contemporary tasting menus within sophisticated surroundings. Overnight stay in Delhi.

Day 2 Delhi to Udaipur

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your domestic flight to Udaipur. Upon arrival, proceed to your luxury heritage hotel overlooking the lakes and palaces that define the city’s romantic atmosphere. Surrounded by the Aravalli Hills, Udaipur remains one of India’s most elegant and visually beautiful destinations.

Later in the afternoon, begin sightseeing with a private boat ride on Lake Pichola. Passing the iconic Lake Palace and Jag Mandir while sunset colors reflect upon the water creates one of Rajasthan’s most memorable experiences. The peaceful atmosphere of the lake offers a softer introduction to Rajasthan compared to its larger desert cities.

The evening may include rooftop dining overlooking illuminated palaces and lakeside views. Luxury hospitality combined with Udaipur’s royal charm creates a memorable beginning to your Rajasthan journey. Overnight stay in Udaipur.

Day 3 Udaipur Royal Heritage

This morning begins with a guided exploration of the magnificent City Palace complex overlooking Lake Pichola. Marble balconies, ornate courtyards, mirror-work chambers and royal apartments preserve the history of the Mewar dynasty while offering panoramic views across the lake city.

Continue toward Jagdish Temple, known for its intricate carvings and spiritual atmosphere, before exploring sections of Udaipur’s old city where miniature painters, silver craftsmen and textile artisans continue centuries-old artistic traditions. Unlike commercial shopping districts elsewhere, many workshops here still maintain traditional handcrafted techniques.

Later, visit Saheliyon Ki Bari, the elegant royal gardens created for noblewomen and princesses. Lotus pools, fountains and marble pavilions provide a peaceful contrast to Rajasthan’s grand forts and palaces. Evening at leisure. Overnight stay in Udaipur.

Day 4 Udaipur to Narlai

Following breakfast, drive toward Narlai, one of Rajasthan’s hidden heritage destinations located between Udaipur and Jodhpur. Unlike larger tourist cities, Narlai offers a quieter and more intimate experience surrounded by rural landscapes, granite hills and traditional village life.

Upon arrival, check into your luxury heritage property, often converted from a former royal hunting lodge or historic haveli. The atmosphere here focuses on slow travel, personalized hospitality and authentic countryside experiences rather than fast-paced sightseeing. Guests may spend the afternoon enjoying the peaceful surroundings or exploring the nearby village with a local guide.

In the evening, enjoy a unique stepwell dining experience illuminated by lanterns and candles. Traditional Rajasthani cuisine served beside a centuries-old baori creates one of the most atmospheric experiences of the journey. Overnight stay in Narlai.

Day 5 Narlai to Jodhpur

After breakfast, continue toward Jodhpur through Rajasthan’s desert landscapes and rural settlements. Arrive in the Blue City and check into your luxury heritage hotel before beginning afternoon sightseeing. Dominated by the mighty Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur carries a strong warrior identity connected to Rajasthan’s royal past.

Visit Mehrangarh Fort, regarded as one of India’s grandest and best-preserved forts. Massive gateways lead into richly decorated palaces filled with royal artifacts, painted ceilings and intricate stonework. Views across Jodhpur’s blue-painted houses from the fort walls create one of Rajasthan’s most iconic scenes.

Later, explore sections of the old city near the clock tower market where spice traders, textile merchants and handicraft shops continue traditional trading practices. Evening at leisure. Overnight stay in Jodhpur.

Day 6 Jodhpur Cultural Experiences

This morning begins with a more relaxed exploration of Jodhpur’s heritage atmosphere. Visit Jaswant Thada, the elegant marble memorial built beside a peaceful lake in memory of Maharaja Jaswant Singh II. The serene setting offers beautiful views toward Mehrangarh Fort and the surrounding city.

Continue through selected heritage neighborhoods where local artisans produce leather goods, embroidered textiles and handcrafted furniture inspired by Rajasthan’s desert culture. Travelers interested in photography and architecture will especially appreciate Jodhpur’s combination of royal structures and traditional blue-painted houses.

The evening may include rooftop dining or cultural performances arranged within a heritage setting. Watching the illuminated fort rise above the city while enjoying traditional cuisine creates a memorable Rajasthan experience. Overnight stay in Jodhpur.

Day 7 Jodhpur to Pushkar

After breakfast, depart for Pushkar, one of India’s most sacred Hindu pilgrimage towns. Surrounded by desert hills and centered around a holy lake, Pushkar offers a spiritual atmosphere completely different from Rajasthan’s royal cities. The town is especially known for its temples, ghats and relaxed spiritual character.

Upon arrival, check into your luxury resort before visiting Pushkar Lake and the famous Brahma Temple, one of the very few temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma. Pilgrims, priests and local rituals around the ghats create a deeply spiritual atmosphere that feels timeless and authentic.

As evening approaches, witness the peaceful temple ceremonies and lake rituals while the sound of bells and devotional chants fills the air. Pushkar’s slower pace provides a welcome contrast after several days of royal sightseeing. Overnight stay in Pushkar.

Day 8 Pushkar to Jaipur

Following breakfast, continue toward Jaipur, Rajasthan’s celebrated Pink City known for royal palaces, colorful bazaars and architectural elegance. Upon arrival, check into your luxury hotel before beginning afternoon exploration of the city’s heritage landmarks.

Visit the City Palace where royal courtyards, ceremonial halls and museum collections preserve the legacy of Jaipur’s ruling family. Continue toward Jantar Mantar, the UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory featuring remarkable scientific instruments built centuries before modern technology.

The evening remains free for shopping and cultural exploration. Jaipur is internationally known for gemstones, hand-block textiles, carpets and handcrafted jewelry. Overnight stay in Jaipur.

Day 9 Jaipur Royal Heritage

After breakfast, proceed for a detailed exploration of Jaipur’s royal architecture and cultural landmarks. Begin with a visit to Amber Fort, dramatically positioned above the surrounding hills. The fort-palace complex reflects the artistic vision and military strength of Rajasthan’s Rajput rulers through mirror-work halls, painted chambers, grand courtyards and hidden royal passageways.

After exploring Amber Fort, stop for photographs at Jal Mahal, the beautiful Water Palace floating in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. Continue toward Hawa Mahal, Jaipur’s famous Palace of Winds, built with hundreds of intricately designed windows allowing royal women to observe city life while remaining unseen. The structure remains one of Rajasthan’s most photographed landmarks.

Later in the afternoon, guests may enjoy curated shopping experiences at Jaipur’s luxury boutiques and artisan workshops. Gemstones, hand-block textiles, carpets and handcrafted jewelry make the city one of India’s finest destinations for heritage shopping. Evening at leisure. Overnight stay in Jaipur.

Day 10 Jaipur to Agra via Fatehpur Sikri

This morning, depart Jaipur and drive toward Agra with a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned Mughal capital built by Emperor Akbar during the 16th century. Massive gateways, red sandstone courtyards and royal palaces reflect the ambition and artistic sophistication of the Mughal Empire during its golden period.

Your guide will explain the fascinating history behind the city’s sudden abandonment and its role within Mughal politics and architecture. Unlike many historical sites, Fatehpur Sikri still preserves a remarkably complete layout of imperial court life including audience halls, royal residences and spiritual spaces.

Continue onward to Agra and check into your luxury hotel. The evening remains relaxed, allowing guests to enjoy views of the city’s Mughal atmosphere before the following morning’s Taj Mahal experience. Overnight stay in Agra.

Day 11 Taj Mahal Sunrise & Agra Heritage

Early this morning, visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise when soft morning light reflects beautifully across the white marble monument. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal continues to be regarded as one of the world’s greatest architectural achievements and a symbol of eternal love.

Your guide will explain the monument’s architectural symmetry, marble inlay artistry and historical significance while guests explore the gardens, mosque and marble mausoleum. The peaceful atmosphere during sunrise creates an especially emotional and memorable experience.

Return to the hotel for breakfast before continuing to Agra Fort, once the principal residence of the Mughal emperors. Massive sandstone walls protect marble palaces, audience halls and royal chambers overlooking the Yamuna River. Evening at leisure. Overnight stay in Agra.

Day 12 Agra to Varanasi

After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your domestic flight to Varanasi, considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the spiritual heart of Hinduism. Upon arrival, proceed to your luxury hotel near the sacred River Ganges.

Unlike Rajasthan’s royal atmosphere and Agra’s Mughal grandeur, Varanasi offers an entirely different emotional and spiritual dimension. Ancient alleyways, temple bells, incense-filled streets and sacred rituals create a city where tradition continues uninterrupted across centuries.

In the evening, witness the famous Ganga Aarti ceremony performed along the ghats of the River Ganges. Priests carrying large oil lamps, synchronized chanting and devotional music create one of India’s most powerful spiritual spectacles. Overnight stay in Varanasi.

Day 13 Varanasi Spiritual Experiences

Before sunrise, enjoy an early morning boat ride along the River Ganges. As pilgrims gather for sacred bathing rituals and morning prayers, the ghats slowly awaken with spiritual activity that has continued for generations. The atmosphere during sunrise remains peaceful, reflective and deeply moving for many travelers.

Later, visit important temples and sacred neighborhoods while your guide explains the city’s religious significance within Hindu philosophy. Walking through Varanasi’s narrow lanes reveals flower markets, incense shops, hidden shrines and daily rituals that shape the city’s spiritual identity.

The afternoon remains flexible for relaxation or cultural activities including silk weaving demonstrations and traditional music experiences. Varanasi offers a cultural depth that extends far beyond ordinary sightseeing. Overnight stay in Varanasi.

Day 14 Varanasi to Delhi

Following breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight back to Delhi. Upon arrival, check into your luxury hotel where the remainder of the day remains free for relaxation, shopping or enjoying the hotel facilities before international departure arrangements.

Guests interested in shopping may explore luxury boutiques, textile galleries and artisan stores offering handcrafted Indian products ranging from carpets and jewelry to fine fabrics and contemporary fashion collections. Delhi’s cosmopolitan atmosphere provides a refined conclusion to the journey.

In the evening, enjoy a farewell dinner celebrating the remarkable experiences encountered across Rajasthan, Agra and Varanasi. Overnight stay in Delhi.

Day 15 Departure from Delhi

After breakfast, transfer to Delhi International Airport for your onward journey. Assistance will be provided throughout the departure process to ensure a smooth and comfortable conclusion to your luxury India holiday.

Over the course of the journey, guests have experienced Rajasthan’s royal heritage, Mughal architecture, sacred traditions and spiritual ceremonies while traveling in comfort through some of India’s most iconic destinations. From lake palaces and desert forts to the Taj Mahal and the sacred River Ganges, every destination has revealed a different side of India’s cultural richness.

  because my time with him in India was the most organized and exciting two weeks of my existence. I spent two weeks touring Southern India with a class of 16 American students and one professor who had never been to India, but thanks to Nand, the trip was seamless. He took us to incredible locations and called upon his personal connections to create opportunities for us and ensure that we were involved and informed. The entire time we were there, Nand made India feel like home. Somehow, he found a way for us to experience a range of incredible, new experiences in a completly unfamiliar place, while always ensuring our safety, comfort, and awareness. There is nothing Nand will not do to make your trip incredible. I cannot reccommend him enough.  ...Read More

  My wife had a wonderful 28 day trip around the main sights in Rajasthan, The Golden Triangle and onwards to Varanasi. Nand organised the hotels to our budget, the driver and guides all of which were very good. Without his expertise this trip would not have been possible so a big "thank you"!  ...Read More

  Our trip with Top Indian Holidays was fantastic. Our family of five, including 3 small kids, visited the Golden Triangle of India. It was a wonderful cultural experience. I cannot recommend them enough. The hotel accommodations were great (we stayed at the trident hotels). The food was delicious. Everyone we met in India was so friendly and kind. We always felt safe. Our tour guide Nand was super nice and informative. Our kids’ favorite stop was the Monkey Temple :) The rickshaw ride through Delhi was exciting and fun.  ...Read More

  I’ve made such wonderful memories here in India. For a week, I had the chance to work on my sister’s women’s healthcare project in the village of Chandelao, and then spent a weekend in Jaipur. The accommodations have been top notch, and both our guides- Kartika and Nand Singh- have become our good friends. Top Indian Holidays is a tour company dedicated to exceptional service. Despite traveling alone with my sister, we felt so safe and at home. I truly have fallen in love with I did!  ...Read More

  Last year, I travelled throughout northern India for one month as part of a course at Saint Mary’s College. We had such incredible adventures, thanks to our in country guide and friend Nand Singh Rathore. I was so impressed by his company’s commitment to excellent hospitality that I planned another visit this March. The main purpose of my trip was to work on a women’s healthcare project in Chandelao. Top Indian Holidays was so helpful in organizing transportation and accommodations. Our guide, Kartika, and our driver, Bhim, made sure we were well taken care of. My project would not have gone smoothly if it weren’t for them- and I am so proud to call them my new friends! My sister and I stayed an extra weekend in Jaipur, and Nand Singh was amazing as usual. He is so, so good to us!!! If you visit India through Top Indian Holidays, I assure you that you will have a safe, adventurous, and unforgettable experience!  ...Read More

  Top Indian Holidays is THE BEST! We came to India for the Jain Festival in south India at Shravanabelagola (which happens only once every 12 years) and continued on to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and to sit for teachings with His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. Top Indian Holidays handled all of the arrangements expertly, providing first rate service, excellent accommodations, transport, and first rate local guides! We've travelled through many, many countries with numerous very good travel agencies but none have provided the excellent service that Top Indian Holidays provided. They are committed to excellence. Thank you Top Indian Holidays!  ...Read More

  We had an absolutely incredible experience touring India with Top Indian Holidays, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Our journey took us through Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, and Jaipur, and every part of the trip was seamlessly organised from start to finish. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between sightseeing, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences. Seeing the Taj Mahal in Agra was, of course, a highlight, but the real standout moment was Ranthambore—where we were lucky enough to see tigers in the wild, something we’ll never forget. What really made the trip exceptional, though, was having the same driver with us throughout the entire journey.  ...Read More

  On the advice of a friend we contacted Nand Singh Rathore at Top Indian Holidays in Jaipur. Nand worked with us and suggested a suitable tour over 5 days. We flew from Goa to Delhi and were met by our driver Ram Singh, whom stayed with us for the duration of the tour. Day 2 we visited the Taj Mahal with a very well informed local guide and spent 3 hours enjoying this special place. We then headed for Jaipur ( a 6 hour drive from Agra) stopping on the way at Chand Baori ( The Abhaneri Step Well). Day 3 in Jaipur we visited the Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal, and the City Palace. We were also due to visit the Jantar Mantar but because of heavy rain and thunderstorms we missed this out. Day 4 we were picked up at our hotel for the 7 hour drive to Udaipur , stopping for lunch and comfort breaks on the way.  ...Read More
