Regal Residences of Rajasthan

This is a far cry from the tired old route that almost everyone takes through India’s Golden Triangle. We know that you’re not everyone. Veer off the tourist trail into the heartlands of Rajasthan to feel the true essence of timeless and, yes, incredible India.

You’ll still be able to experience the manic magic of Delhi, the warm pink hues of Japiur and the magnificence of the Taj Mahal. But you'll also experience so much more by staying in some of the country’s best heritage properties, brought to life by charismatic hosts. You’ll get the best of both worlds - and be amazed that the rest of the world doesn’t seem to be in on the secret. Shhh!

Highlights include: 

  • Explore magnificent and lesser-visited sites on the banks of the Chambal River
  • Experience a flavour of rural and royal Rajasthan in two contrasting rural palaces
  • Experience the sumptuous luxury of one of India’s finest tented camps
  • Witness the splendour of the Taj Mahal

This exceptional route showcases exactly why this region has held visitors spellbound for centuries - from staying in private forts and luxury homestays with royal families to exploring sleepy villages and uncovering the customs and traditions of rural north India.

And so, so much more!

As with all of our itineraries, but even more so (if that’s possible) we’d encourage you to design this itinerary to suit your tastes, terms and timescale.

This is a sample itinerary which we will tailor to suit you. Prices are dependent on destination, flights & dates but ETG holidays always include the following:

  • International flights (if required)
  • Guides, drivers & their tips
  • Accommodation
  • Specified meals & snacks
  • Your immersive experiences
  • Internal & regional transfers

Day 1  Depart the UK

Depart the UK and fly to Delhi 

Days 2 -3  Delhi 

Arrive in India and transfer to your hotel in the heart of New Delhi. During your time in the city, there is time to take our signature tours that explore both Old and New Delhi. Experience the thrills of a rickshaw ride through the old quarter while sampling some of the city’s legendary dishes.

Day 4- 5  Chambal Safari Lodge 

Journey from Delhi to Agra by train and arrive at the excellent Chambal Safari Lodge. Experience the exceptional hospitality while exploring the fascinating wildlife and cultural sites that sit on the lodge's doorstep. Highlights of a stay here include a relaxing boat trip down the Chambal River and a sunrise or sunset visit to the temples and ghats of Bhateshwar with their colourful and vibrant poojas.

Day 6 Agra 

It’s a short journey back to Agra to visit the iconic Taj Mahal Palace. It is one of the undisputed wonders of the world and a must-see for most visitors to India. Check-in at The Oberoi, just a 10-minute walk from the east gate of the palace.

Day 7-9 Jaipur 

Head to Jaipur, the mesmerising ‘pink city’ of Rajasthan. Spend two days exploring the city on foot and by bike. Visit temples, mosques and churches, drink the famous and delicious Chai Tea and catch some of the splendid religious ceremonies that occur daily in many temples.  

Day 10-11  Shapura Bagh  

From the bustle of Jaipur, transfer by road to the rural Palace of Shahpura Bagh, (around 4 hours). Part luxury hotel, part royal homestay; it's the kind of experience only India can offer. Grand buildings, an illustrious history dating back twenty generations within one family and sumptuous food will ensure there is never a dull moment. Your hosts will take you under their wing and show you the challenges and treasures of inheriting such a majestic property while bringing the local town and region to life. For relaxation, look no further than the glorious swimming pool, the perfect antidote to the hot summer days. Dinner or drinks atop the local fort is a special experience that'll stay etched in your memory long after you return home.

Days 12-13 Chanoud Garh  

Saving the best till last? Perhaps… Chanoud Garh is another rural palace, lovingly restored to its former glory by the latest generation of its custodians. Learn the family’s fascinating history while having the honour of staying in this incredible property. Dine on the rooftop under the stars, explore the nooks and crannies of the palace and their fascinating details and stories, or take a jeep drive into the surrounding villages and countryside to get a unique insight into this region’s way of life.

Day 14-15  Udaipur  

End your trip in Udaipur. Explore the city’s magnificent sites, including the iconic fort with its blue-walled houses and buildings.
