The destinations like Aurangabad, Prince of Wales Museum, Marine Drive, Hanging Gardens, Ajanta Caves and Bibi Ka Maqbara are popular mainly due to their vibrant culture and historical importance. This tour package offers you a wonderful chance to spend the vacations by witnessing the architectural beauties of India and admiring the great scenic beauty.

Day 01 Arrive Delhi (By Flight)
Arrival at Delhi International Airport.
Find our representative at the airport, and transfer to hotel.

Day 02 Delhi
After breakfast, we will visit the seven cities of delhi thirty centuries old and having been several times the imperial capital of the Hindustani subcontinent, they have given delhi the nickname of “the rome of asia”. Starting in the 13th century, six Muslim dynasties ruled northern India and built seven capitals of their empires in Delhi. In the first delhi, founded in 1206, we will visit the oldest mosque in india, qwaat-al-islam, built with remains of Hindu temples. We will see the Altamish tomb and the Qutub minaret, a seventy-three meter tower erected to commemorate the triumph of Islam over Hinduism.

After a stopover in front of the bahai lotus temple, we will visit the mausoleum of emperor humayum, second of the great Mughals. We will continue to shahjahanabad, the seventh or old delhi and we will conclude our tour visiting the Friday mosque, the largest in india and riding a rickshaw among the bazaars of the old delhi to the red fort, in its time the largest palace in the world. Despite the looting, the dying fort with its audience halls, kiosks and the shah jahan’s bedrooms testifies to the greatness of the Mughals, of the splendor of a court whose excesses, lusts and serrallos of hundreds of women and thrones covered with rubies and diamonds they granted a place in history.
Overnight at the hotel.

Day 03 Delhi – Varanasi (By Flight)
After breakfast departure by plane to Varanasi Varanasi. In the afternoon we will take a walk to Sarnath, a small town located a few kilometers from Varanasi. 25 centuries ago, in this place, in the deer park, buddha delivered the sermon of the four noble truths and spoke to his disciples about the causes and the overcoming of suffering transforming the thought and art of asia and giving structure to the great far eastern civilizations.

At night, in an unforgettable journey through time, the crowds and the bewitching decrepitude of the streets we will go into the heart of Varanasi, to witness the brahmanic ceremony of the aarti on the banks of the ganges.
Overnight at the hotel.

Day 04 Varanasi – Khajuraho (By Flight)
After breakfast, Sacred sensuality, the millennial Benares or Varanasi, is for Hindus the most venerable city in India and the oldest in the world. The ganges, a gift from the god shiva as a palliative to the thirst and existential emptiness of men, is the center of activity in this city. Before dawn, we will go out to the riverbank.

We will walk amid a procession of gurus, cows, flower garland vendors, incenses, embarrassed tourists, and beautiful girls dressed in colorful saris in a perpetual party vibe, like battleship of prayers, merchant bargaining, twittering birds, crow squawks and pop songs blasting out of ramshackle horns that hang over tea stands or fritangas. The incredible Varanasi, the “Dantesque” holy city with its river laden with human ashes is paradoxically one of the most vital places in India to which every dawn thousands of pilgrims come from all corners of the subcontinent to bathe to wash their souls. India and Hinduism, their rites and philosophies are concentrated in this microcosm: “the city where, according to the ancient texts, the most important of all trips begins, the one that each one undertakes towards himself”.

After a tour of the river in front of the s gaths ’stepped slopes and stroll on foot among the ancient streets of ancient varanasi, we will return to the hotel for breakfast. Departure at noon by plane to Khajuraho. In the afternoon we will visit the temples whose sculptures and the extraordinary beauty and elegance of the monuments deserved to enter the list of “unesco world heritage sites”. Khajuraho is the pinnacle of the Nagara style, the classic Hindu architecture of North India.

Under the slender stone towers carved with amazing mastery, we will appreciate the prodigious sculptural work of the walls populated by avalanches of nymphs, goddesses, celestial dancers and couples of lovers immersed in the ecstasy of a kiss or melting their rock anatomies in the most implausible forms of the act of love, like beings levitating amid the rapture of erotic fulfillment. Apart from the philosophical interpretations around the sculptures, there is no doubt that these are a tribute to feminine sensuality and beauty as a symbol of creative energy and a stone offering to the ritual of sexuality as the path to spiritual redemption. Khajuraho is one of the great treasures of Asia.
Overnight at the hotel.

Day 05 Khajuraho – Orchha (By Road) (180 Kms. / 4H 30M appx.)
After breakfast, The Unknown Kingdom, the Bundela dynasty established its little kingdom in the heart of the Mughal Empire in the early 16th century. Thanks to diplomatic talent, its rulers managed to maintain the independence and respect of their powerful neighbors.

The city was founded in 1530 on a rocky island amidst the streams of the betwa and was abandoned two hundred years later. Today, the ruins of its patina-blackened temples and cenotaphs still stand out around the imposing maze of domes, towers and passageways of the Jahangiri Mahal, the most important palace in Ourchha and one of the most original buildings in India.

We will by private car to Orchha.
On arrival, city tour of Orchha.

Orchha is a town in Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh state, India. The town was established by Rudra Pratap Singh some time after 1501, as the seat of an eponymous former princely state of covering parts of central & north India, in the Bundelkhand region.
Overnight in Orchha.

Day 06 Orchha – Gwalior – Agra (By Road) (240 Km / 2H 30M – One Way)
After breakfast, drive to Agra.
On the way visit Gwalior.

Gwalior is a city in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. It’s known for its palaces and temples, including the Sas Bahu Ka Mandir intricately carved Hindu temple. Ancient Gwalior Fort occupies a sandstone plateau overlooking the city and is accessed via a winding road lined with sacred Jain statues. Within the fort’s high walls is the 15th-century Gujari Mahal Palace, now an archaeological museum.

Gwalior Fort is a hill fort near Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, central India. The fort has existed at least since the 10th century, and the inscriptions and monuments found within what is now the fort campus indicate that it may have existed as early as the beginning of the 6th century.

Later, continue drive to Agra.
On arrival, visit Red Fort, Itmad-ud-daula, SIkandra and Mehtaab Bagh.

We will visit the mausoleum of Akbar the Great in Sikandra, and later the Agra Fort, with rooms lined with marble arches and fountains in the form of lotus flowers. This immense complex was the residence of Akbar, Jahanghir and Shah Jahan for a hundred years and together with the Taj Mahal and the small Itimid-ud-Daula mausoleum with which we will conclude the walk, it represents the apogee of the imperial style of Mughal architecture.
Overnight in Agra.

Day 07 Agra – Fatehpur Sikri/Abhaneri – Jaipur (By Road) (253 Km/ 5H 10M)
Early morning, visit of Taj Mahal.

The taj mahal and the red fort of the Mughals on the margins of romantic stories, of the hundreds of thousands of pages of diatribe or elegy written around the taj mahal, no one can deny the fact that this is the most important mausoleum famous and one of the most moving buildings in the world for its almost supernatural beauty.

Come back to hotel for breakfast and shower.
Check out from the htoel and drive to Jaipur.
On the way, visit the ghost town of Fatehpur Sikri.

En route we will visit Fatehpur Sikri, the “city of victory” and capital of the Akbar empire. Due to lack of water it was abandoned and its palaces, harem and squares, thanks to the arid climate, were left intact. Fatehpur sikri is forceful in its outline and plastic unity, like a colossal symphony of red sandstone. The effect of this vast and empty city is overwhelming. We will walk among the palaces of the Akbar favorites and ministers, the Serrallo enclosure, the private audience pavilion with its extraordinary “lotus capital”.

Finally we will go to the mosque area, the gate of magnificence and the small mausoleum of selim chisti, the adviser of akbar, and the only white marble construction in the whole city, lost as a pearl in the huge red labyrinth of fatehpur.

Abhaneri, also spelled Abaneri, is a village in the Dausa district of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Abhaneri is popular for the Chand Baori step well and Harshat Mata Temple.
Late afternoon, arrival in jaipur in the afternoon.
Overnight at the hotel.

Day 08 Jaipur
After breakfast, The throne of the wise men jaipur is the capital of rajasthan, the land of deserts and the “lion princes” where, in the absence of water, “only the blood quenched the thirst of the heroes”. Like its passions and its history, in Rajasthan everything is intense: dances, crafts, the hubbub of its cities and the beauty of its people. Jaipur was founded by jai singh ii, “the sage,” who devoted much of his life to books, mathematics, and astronomy.

In the morning, “on the back of an elephant” we will go up to the Amber Fort, former seat of the Jai Singh II dynasty. We will visit the kali temple and the palace bedrooms with vaults adorned by thousands of mirrors whose purpose was to multiply the lights of the lamps to infinity. In the afternoon we will do the panoramic circuit of jaipur including the royal palace and the palace of the winds, exotic fantasy of pink stone, with five floors of façade, created with the sole purpose of allowing harem women to see the parades without being observed by the street people.

Finally we will visit the Jantar Mantar, the observatory built by Jai Singh, with its enormous sundials and other monumental structures designed for the study of constellations and planetary movements. After the visit we recommend, in the company of the guide, to explore the jaipur bazaars, in the tripolia bazaar area. In its ‘havelis’, old noble residences and adjacent streets, there are small antique shops and silversmiths’ workshops, gem carvers, puppet makers, miniature painters and the most unlikely variety of artisans working and selling their products.
Overnight at the hotel.

Day 09 Jaipur – Aurangabad (By Flight)
In the afternoon departure by plane to Aurangabad via Bombay.
Overnight at the hotel.

Aurangabad is a city in Maharashtra state, in India. It’s known for the 17th-century marble Bibi ka Maqbara shrine, styled on the Taj Mahal. The nearby Shivaji Maharaj Museum, dedicated to the Maratha king Shivaji, displays war weapons and a coin collection. North of the city, the Aurangabad Caves comprise ancient, rock-cut Buddhist shrines. West of the city, battlements surround the medieval Daulatabad Fort.

Day 10 Aurangabad
After breakfast, departure to ajanta, a set of thirty caves excavated by Buddhist monks fifteen centuries ago. While in Europe the Roman Empire collapsed and in Mesoamerica the heyday of Palenque and Teotihuacan began, on the other side of the world, in Ajanta, India, temples and monasteries were excavated on the side of a ravine with splendid murals and sculptures on life of the “enlightened”.

The great merit of these works, more than the biographical content on buddha, is their coloring and the courtly scenes of the palace where siddhartha was supposedly born among girls with huge eyes, dressed only in necklaces of jewels and gauze that accentuate the beauty of their dark bodies. Contemplating the joy and life of these paintings we understand why the rigidity of ancient Buddhism disappeared from India to give way to medieval Hinduism which, despite its ascetics, has been the most exalted celebration of sensuality in human history.

Later we will continue to it for the visit of the kailasa altar, the largest monolithic temple in the world. Kailasa, the sacred mountain, center of the universe and residence of shiva in the Himalayas is represented here in this titanic feat. 200 thousand tons of rock were carved into the carving of the magnificent altar and the dozens of chapels that surround it with thousands of mythical figures, gods, scenes from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata and the different personifications of Vishnu, Shiva and Parvati that inhabit its friezes and corners. All Hindu mythology is present in this encyclopedic assembly of deities, the most prodigious feat of sculpture performed in India. return to aurangabad.
Overnight at the hotel.

Day 11 Aurangabad – Mumbai (By Flight)
After breakfast, departure by plane in the morning to Mumbai. In the afternoon we will take a panoramic tour of the most powerful and cosmopolitan city on the subcontinent. With its Victorian buildings surrounded by palm trees and red double-decker buses, it is a kind of tropical London where India’s progress, tradition and social, religious and multilingual diversity come together. On the walk we will visit the chattrapathi shivaji railway station, a splendid neo-gothic building. We will see the elphingstone college, the post palace and the university.
Overnight at the hotel.

Day 12 Mumbai
After breakfast, in the morning we will visit the elephant island cave, an hour by boat from Mumbai. This cave was carved out of the rock 14 centuries ago. Despite the mutilations suffered at the hands of Portuguese friars and soldiers, elephant is a pilgrimage center for all art lovers who come to admire the carved sculptures with amazing strength and simplicity.

The temple is dedicated to shiva, the most fascinating and complex god of Hinduism; its facets are represented with all vigor and mastery of line in each of the 9 panels of the cave. Especially notable are the dancing nataraja or shiva, the half-man and half-woman ardhanarishvara or shiva and the gargantuan trimurti, the trilogy that integrates the faces of creation, destruction and contemplation or ecstatic shiva embodying the “immutable serenity of being” , imperturbable as the rock of the island in the middle of the sea of our mind, waves of restlessness and delirium always struggling between the storm and the calm. Free afternoon.
Overnight at the hotel.
