India Family Adventure

Itinerary

Day 1 Delhi

Colourful and chaotic, Delhi is a great introduction to the subcontinent. Explore the bustling markets that sell everything from spices to puppets or escape momentarily from the rush and bustle in the green parks of the new city.

Days 2-3 Jaipur

Discover the very ornate and very pink Hawa Mahal and explore the hilltop Amber Fort. Spend free time in Jaipur strolling the winding streets, shopping in the bazaars or even take in a Hindi movie at the spectacular Raj Mandir Cinema.

Days 4-5 Pushkar

Travel out into the dunes onboard the 'Ships of the Desert' - camels. Back in Pushkar walk among pilgrims and sadhus, devout holy men, on the lakeside ghats or take an early morning stroll to a hilltop temple for amazing views over the town.

Days 6-7 Udaipur

From scenic Lake Pichola to the hilltop Monsoon Palace, Udaipur blossoms with beautiful sights. Head out into the hills to discover marble palaces, take in a dynamic local dance performance and shop for souvenirs in the tangled streets.

Days 8-9 Bijaipur

Take a journey of discovery past tribal people and rural villages on our way to Bijaipur. Stay in a fortified mansion and head out to see local sights on a jeep safari. With free time, jump on a bicycle for a ride through the countryside or relax poolside.

Day 10 Bundi

The thriving old city of Bundi is small enough to explore on foot. Absorb the timeless atmosphere in the colourful fruit market, see the intricately carved step-wells and visit the hillside palace.

Day 11 Ranthambhore National Park

A safari through one of the original Project Tiger reserves offers the chance to see sambar deer, wild boar, crocodiles and, if we're really lucky, the elusive Bengal tiger.

Day 12 Bharatpur

Chat with the locals on a public train on the way to the Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary. With more than 400 species of birds flitting through the trees, the sanctuary is a great place to spend the afternoon.

Day 13 Agra

Wander through the impressive Red Fort imagining how emperors once lived, and see India's most recognisable monument - the Taj Mahal. There may be an opportunity to see how handmade carpets are woven.

Days 14-15 Delhi

Return to Delhi in time for a final farewell breakfast and a chance to continue exploring the city's fantastic sights.
