The journey

Why these places belong together.

From the layered streets of Delhi to Jaipur's royal architecture and the timeless Taj Mahal, discover three very different faces of northern India — with the details handled by people who know them personally.

Recommended route · Delhi → Jaipur → Agra → Delhi

Day by day

How the days run.

A working shape, not a fixed timetable — every day can be slowed down, swapped, or given another night.

  1. 01Day 1

    Delhi

    Arrive in Delhi and explore Old Delhi — the lanes around Chandni Chowk, and the city as it was before it was a capital.

  2. 02Day 2

    Delhi

    New Delhi, its monuments and neighbourhoods, at the pace of someone who lives here rather than a coach timetable.

  3. 03Day 3

    Delhi → Jaipur

    Drive to Jaipur, arriving in time for an evening market or food experience as the city cools.

  4. 04Day 4

    Jaipur

    Amber, the old city and Jaipur's living culture — the workshops and households still working behind the facades.

  5. 05Day 5

    Jaipur → Agra

    Drive to Agra by way of Fatehpur Sikri, the capital that was built, used briefly, and abandoned.

  6. 06Day 6

    Agra → Delhi

    The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in the morning light, then the return to Delhi.

Signature experiences

The parts people remember.

  • Old Delhi on foot

    The lanes, the food, and the layers of a city that has been rebuilt seven times.

  • Amber before the crowds

    Arrive early, walk the ramparts while the light is still low over the valley.

  • A Jaipur food evening

    Eat where the city eats, with someone who can order properly.

  • The Taj at first light

    The one time of day the marble does what everyone came to see it do.

Make it yours

Nothing here is fixed.

This is the shape most travellers start from. Say what you would rather do and we will rebuild it around that — the itinerary is a proposal, not a product.

  • Add a night in any city to slow the pace
  • Upgrade the accommodation category
  • Airport transfers at either end
  • Continue into Rajasthan instead of returning to Delhi
From the road

Taken by us and by the people who travelled with us. Nothing here is a stock photograph, and nothing has been staged for it.

  • The Taj Mahal at the end of its reflecting pool in the early morning
  • The great sandstone gateway to the Taj Mahal complex, with visitors beneath it
  • A travelling group on the steps outside a Delhi restaurant in the evening
  • The tiered pink facade of Hawa Mahal in Jaipur under a dark sky
  • A traveller sitting before a gilded and mirrored Mughal interior at Agra Fort
  • The group walking the red sandstone grounds inside Agra Fort
  • A traveller among the scalloped arches of the audience hall at Agra Fort
  • The group walking a long arcaded corridor at Agra Fort

We ask before we publish a photograph of anyone recognisable, and you can always change your mind afterwards.
