After breakfast, we will go on a sightseeing tour of Delhi. As the capital city of India, its former rulers always prized Delhi for its strategic location. A visit to Old Delhi is always an experience. Walk through the ancient bustling, twisting alleyways of Chandni Chowk, the bazaar area and the Red Fort as well as the Jama Masjid (India's biggest Mosque). For those who want to see more, there is the Raj Ghat where Gandhi was cremated and which today is a peaceful and popular park. The British built New Delhi, carefully planning the city and the main metropolitan area, when they moved their capital here from Calcutta in 1911. With many interesting museums and art galleries, and several monuments constructed by the mighty Mughal Emperors such as Humayun's Tomb and the Qutab Minar, there is plenty to explore in Delhi. Drive past the India Gate and the Rashtrapati Bhawan (The Presidential Palace). Visit also the prominent Sikh temple at Bangla Sahib. Delhi is a shopper's paradise. It is one big emporium for all of India's handicrafts, and home to some of the best contemporary designers that India can boast of. This energetic city now has good dining and nightlife options to complement its considerable historical and architectural interest. Overnight at the hotel. (Vehicle at disposal)

After an early breakfast you will be transferred to the railway station to board a train to Gangapur City. On arrival there you will be transferred to Ramathra. Check-in at the hotel on arrival and spend the rest of the day at leisure. The Ramathra Fort lies between two of India's famous wildlife reserves, the Keoladeo Ghana Bird Sanctuary in Bharatpur and the Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve in Sawai Madhopur. The Kailadevi National Park which is another game sanctuary is just 15 km away. The fort, the lake and the surrounding countryside are the three big attractions of Ramathra. You will be hosted by the charming and exuberant Gitanjali and Ravi who will delight you with stories about their family fort, and show you around the area. Overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast we will drive to Bundi, once the capital of a princely Rajput state. On arrival check in at the hotel. Bundi has for long remained isolated and undiscovered by mass tourism, and offers a warmth of hospitality rarely found elsewhere. This, together with the paucity of vehicles on its streets, makes this ancient town a pleasure to wander around in. The town's Rajput legacy is well preserved in the shape of the massive Taragarh Fort and the striking Bundi Garh Palace. The drive into the town is particularly pleasing as the road winds along the hillside overlooking the valley opposite to the fort.  Views of the town and the surrounding countryside are excellent. The town lies on the side of a steep hill overlooking a lake and is itself overlooked by the palace. Bundi is also famous for its 'Baoris' or terraced wells with stone steps, which were once used to store rainwater for the long dry season. These are often beautifully decorated, the most impressive of them being the Raniji-ki-Baori. Surrounded by ornately carved pillars and scalloped arches, at 150ft deep it is one of the largest and finest of its kind. The Nagar Sagar is a set of twin step wells outside of the Choughan gate. These matching step wells on each side of the main Bundi town have been crafted in immaculate stonework. A little out of town on the Ajmer Road is the Phool Sagar Palace with its beautiful artificial tank and sprawling gardens. Overnight at the hotel. (Vehicle at disposal)

This morning we will drive to Shahpura, a tranquil Rajasthani town relatively untouched by tourism, and dotted with lakes and verdant hills. There are several ancient forts and palaces around town, but what is most fascinating is the traditional arts and crafts of the region. After lunch we will go on a jeep safari through the neighbouring villages. Overnight at the hotel. (Vehicle at disposal)

Formerly the hunting reserve of the local royal family, today it attracts migratory birds to the reservoir during the winter months. Rustic farmlands, rolling hillocks and small villages surround the lake. A stay here allows you to experience rural Rajasthan in a way that few other places do. Rest of the day is at leisure.

After breakfast we will drive to Rohet and on arrival check in at the hotel. The desert village of Rohet is dominated by the fortified home of the descendants of Thakur Dalpat Singh I, the 16th century Rathore of the Champawat clan. The fiefdom of Rohet was bestowed upon him in 1622 by the Maharaja of Jodhpur as a mark of appreciation for his bravery in battle. Rohet is a typical Rajasthani village full of life and colour and set in a beautiful semi-arid landscape. Rohet is renowned for its village safaris that introduce guests to local cultures and traditions. You will be invited into homes and received with warmth and affection by the villagers, and will have the opportunity to interact with various communities and to understand their way of life. From here Jeep safaris can be arranged to the surrounding countryside where you can see the local opium ceremonies.

Post-lunch visit the Aya Mata Temple. Overnight at the hotel. (Vehicle at disposal)

After breakfast we go on a day trip to Ranakpur to see the Jain temples built in the 15th century during the reign of the liberal and gifted Rajput monarch Rana Kumbha. The temple is an astounding work of art and an example of true architectural genius. It is supported by 1,444 pillars, all of them intricately carved, each 45 feet high and each different from the other. The assembly hall has two big bells weighing nearly 108 kilograms each and their sound reverberates through the entire neighbourhood. The main temple is the Chaumukh or the four-faced temple dedicated to Adinath. Late in the afternoon we'll return to Narlai. Overnight at the hotel. (Vehicle at disposal)

After breakfast we will drive to Udaipur and on arrival check in at the hotel. Rest of the day at leisure. Set amongst rolling hills speckled with shimmering lakes, Udaipur is considered by many as the most beautiful and the most romantic city in Rajasthan. Founded in 1567 by Maharana Udai Singh, the city is surprisingly quiet and traffic-free. It has the atmosphere of a small town, with winding alleyways and tree-lined streets leading to the impressive City Palace, which overlooks the legendary "floating" Lake Palace. Overnight at the hotel. (Vehicle at disposal)

We will spend the day on a sightseeing tour of Udaipur, starting with the City Palace. The entrance to the City Palace complex is through the 'Hathi Pol' (elephant gate) along the main street of the old city, past the Jagdish Temple. The paintings, mosaics, intricately carved 'Chhatries' and the architecturally brilliant façade all contribute to making a visit to the City Palace a truly memorable experience. We will also visit the lovely Sahelion-ki-Bari, the garden of the maids of honour that was constructed for forty-eight young ladies in waiting who were sent to the royal house as a part of a lavish dowry. Later go on a motor launch cruise on the placid waters of Lake Pichola (subject to water levels). From the beautifully decorated boat you will be able to view the city of Udaipur as it rises majestically above the lake. We will also visit the Jag Mandir Palace - another lovely island palace in the middle of the lake. And if the weather gods permit, we will watch a spectacular sunset over the lake, which will be a fitting finale for the day. Overnight at the hotel. (Vehicle at disposal).
