Relax and indulge your senses on this romantic tour (perfect for honeymooners!) of India. Enjoy comprehensive cultural touring with your own guides and drivers, and stay in the country's most acclaimed luxury hotels.
Begin in bustling Mumbai (Bombay). Tour the city’s cultural attractions and take a private boat ride to Elephanta Island Caves—inside are extensive Hindu stone sculptures linked to the cult of Shiva. Also explore the city's bazaars and most interesting districts.
Next, fly to Goa for three nights at one of India's best resorts, with free time to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach and spa.
Continue to Udaipur, India’s most romantic city, for several nights among the grand arches and courtyard gardens of the palatial Oberoi Udaivilas. Tour the City Palace, Jagdish Temple, the Saheliyon Ki Bari garden, and Udaipur’s bazaars. Cruise Lake Pichola and walk through picturesque backstreets, taking in views of the local villages and the surrounding hills and lakes. Also take a private excursion to spectacular temples that happen to be located near one of the region's best restaurants, located in a restored palace.
Next, spend several days in Alwar at Amanbagh, a luxurious resort in a walled compound in the Rajasthan countryside. A guaranteed highlight of your visit to India, touring includes an early morning breakfast (with yoga, if desired) at abandoned ruins in the region, a safari tour to local villages (including a visit to a home for tea), and a memorable dinner in an outdoor private pavilion.
Continue to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. Visit Agra Fort, local markets, and take a sunset carriage ride to the Taj Mahal, the world’s greatest monument to love. Stay in a room with a view of the Taj.
Conclude in Delhi with comprehensive touring that includes the bazaars of Old Delhi, the Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb, the Lodi Gardens, excellent museums and upscale shopping districts.
