Day 01. : Delhi / Udaipur Train
Early Morning, Our representative would meet & greet you at your
address in Delhi and would introduce India and your tour to you.
Welcome to India, or as we say 'atithi devo bhava' (the guest is an
incarnation of God). Thank you for giving us the opportunity to
serve you, later transfer to Railway station for train to Udaipur,
overnight in train.
Day 02: Arrive-Udaipur
Arrive Udaipur. Royal capital of a divine dynasty. Languid Lake
City, strewn with marble palaces, hibiscus - massed gardens,
fountain pavilions, and cobbled medieval gardens. Welcome to Udaipur,
the famed "City of sunrise ". Founded in 1567 by Maharana Udai
Singh, from the lineage of the legendary Sisodias of Mewar - the
decedents of the sun God. A city where the sun truly never set,
where tradition and a strict code of heroism were happily united
with a love of fine living. A city that has come to be an oasis of
romance in the warrior state of Rajasthan. Meeting and assistance
upon arrival & check into your hotel. This afternoon, we proceed on
a tour of this "Lake City". Udaipur is a cool oasis in the dry heart
of Rajasthan. It is probably the most romantic city in a state where
every city has some romantic or exotic tale to tell. The huge city
palace towering over the Lake Pichola is the largest palace complex
in Rajasthan. Though it is a conglomeration of buildings built by
successive rulers, it manages to retain a surprising uniformity of
design and affords very fine view of the lake and the city from the
upper terraces. The Jagadish temple next to the city palace
enshrines a black stone image of Lord Vishnu and his vehicle- a
mighty bird called garuda - in a brass image. The temple is a very
fine example of Indo-Aryan Art.
Day 02. : Udaipur / Ranakpur /
Jodhpur (260 Kms)
Jodhpur / Jaisalmer (Overnight Train Journey).
Following breakfast, we drive to Jodhpur. Our first stop would be at
Ranakpur. This is a site of some exquisitely carved white marble
Jain temples .The profusion of such detailed and intricate sculpture
depicting various folk tales and gods is mind boggling. We have a
guided tour of the temple and following which, we continue riding to
Udaipur. Royal capital of a devine dynasty. Languid Lake City,
strewn with marble palaces, hibiscus - massed gardens, fountains
pavilions, and cobbled medieval gardens.
From here continue drive to Jodhpur for a guided tour. Our tour
includes the massive fort. In olden days this must have been
impregnable since its rocky base is scraped straight down making it
nearly impossible to ascend. Once inside, royal palaces abound with
fascinating history and priceless jewels, on to the armoury and
Jaswant Tara - the Royal Crematorium
Late evening, transfer to the train station to board an overnight
train JPJ EXPRESS (10:45 PM / 07:25 AM*) to Jaisalmer.
Overnight On Train – Air-condition class Sleeper Carriages.
Day 03. : Arrival - Jaisalmer / Sam
/ Jaisalmer
Meeting & assistance upon arrival & transfer to Hotel.Following
breakfast, we visit the residential portions of the fort where one
third of the population of the old city lives. The design of houses
remains, as they were a couple of century's back and so are the
lifestyle of people occupying them. This is because most of the
families continue to work for generations for the rural (though only
titular now) hence there is a sense of continuity. The houses are
arranged in narrow lanes and have small windows from where the shy
child or the girl peeps. This is the city believed to be the home of
the most handsome men and women in Rajasthan.Afternoon, drive to
Sam, a dessert outpost. Enroute we visit a few typical dessert
villages, which have a sprinkling of huts. The rough terrain here
does not support cultivation; hence the entire village works as
casual labourers in road works or community projects. Inspite of
their poverty and hard life the people are very friendly and seem to
be aware that they are proud owners of very expressive and beautiful
faces. We move on to Sam where we explore the dessert on camel back.
Day 04. : Jaisalmer / Jodhpur
Following breakfast drive to Jodhpur.
Upon arrival, check into the legendary Palace Hotel, which is
beautifully set amidst well appointed gardens,This evening, we would
ride horse carriages to the Clock Tower Bazaar. This is one of
India's largest and most colourful wholesale markets especially with
respect to clothes, fabrics, spices, vegetables etc.
Day 05. : Jodhpur / Ranthambhore -
(Intercity Exp - 0550/1355)
Early morning you are transferred to the Train Station with packed
breakfast for your train to Ranthambhore, for a two-night wildlife
adventure in Ranthambore National Park, famed for its healthy
population of Bengal tigers who are frequently seen by day and in
full view of visitors. Once a royal hunting ground, this vast
preserve now protects a great variety of wildlife that are often
seen around the ruins of an ancient jungle fort.
Upon arrival, meeting and assistance and transfer to your hotel
Tiger Moon Resort, which gives you all the excitement and
exhilaration of holidaying in the heart of the Indian wildlife;
right where all the action is, in the lap of Nature at it's most
raw. Here the law of the jungle prevails; predator's prowl the wild
pathways; birds shriek in the skies and reptiles slither across the
earth. It is into this wilderness that we offer you ringside seats
to the ultimate show. This resort, situated on the edge of the
Ranthambhore National Park amidst the Aravali hills in Rajasthan, is
the ideal resort if you want to hit the tiger trail.
Day 06 : Ranthambhore / Jaipur
Morning, Jungle Excursions in open top vehicles. or Canter
After breakfast drive to Jaipur. In a land steeped with heritage,
picturesque with exquisite architecture, in a state vibrant with
heroic memories and romance, lies the Dream City of Jaipur. The
people are dynamic, martial and, need we say it, colourful. Here
every walk through the by lanes is a walk through history. Indeed,
Jaipur could be compared to a vast open-air museum. Pink turbans
jostle with saffron 'odhinis' (ladies scarves). Camel's buggies and
elephants are as commonly found as motorcars and buses.
Afternoon, proceed on a tour of City Palace & Observatory. The City
Palace in the heart of the old city is a blend of Rajasthani and
Mughal architecture. The centre of the palace is a seven-storied
building called Chandra Palace, with fine vies over the gardens and
the city. The palace lies in the heart of the city and occupies the
whole central grid. The fortified wall has seven gates and was built
for protection from invading armies and animals that lived in
jungles, which surrounded the wall that time. Next, we visit the
Solar Observatory - an astronomical treasure house, with solar
device that give accurate predictions till date.
Day 07 : Jaipur / Fatehpur Sikri
Agra
This morning we visit Amber Fort, the former capital of the royal
Jaipurs. Few fail to be moved by the dramatic Rajput grandeur of
this hilltop fortress-palace 11 km north of Jaipur. Set on the dry
wrinkled Aravali Hills, and surrounded by fortified battlements, the
palace straddles two sepia-hued tundra hills overlooking Maota Lake,
and its sprawling crenellated walls lattice the surrounding hills.
Following the tour we drive to Fatehpur Sikri for a guided tour.
This abandoned capital of the Mughals is a perfectly preserved city
at the height of the empire's splendour. The city divided into
religious and secular parts has interesting well-sculpted buildings.
From here we continue riding to Agra.
Upon arrival check into hotel Holiday Inn, lies in the heart of this
fascinating city, allowing you to explore and witness the ambience
of this historically beautiful city as well as the romance of the
Taj Mahal and the elegance of emperor Akbar's Fatehpur Sikri.
Day 08 : Agra / Delhi / Departure
Agra is the city of the Taj Mahal, perhaps the most photographed
monument in the world. However, there is a degree of enigma about
the Taj. Once you hear about a building so much and once you see so
many pictures of a building your expectations are real high; and
this is the enigma about the Taj Mahal. No matter how many pictures
you have seen or no matter how high your expectations are, the Taj
never lets you down - the unparalleled glory and beauty of the
building surpasses beyond all human imaginations. At sun rise we
visit the Taj Mahal to witness this spectacular monument built for
love. Besides perfect symmetry in every aspect of its construction,
the inlay work of semi precious stones into marble in pietra dura
style is absolutely remarkable.
Following breakfast, we ride to the massive Agra Fort. The elegant
buildings inside reflect an interesting synthesis of Hindu and
Central Asian architectural styles. Built by Emperor Akbar, the maze
of the courtyards, mosques & private chambers of the fort echo the
story of the Mughal Empire. The Moti Masjid & other magnificent
buildings reflect the skill of the ancient Indian architects.
A Home Visit & A Farewell Dinner: This evening we visit an Indian
family for an Indian home experience. The evening is designed to
give you a 'feel' and insight into Indian family life as well as
experience typical Indian hospitality and home made Indian food.
