India

Begin in Delhi, where Mughal architecture stands beside modern boulevards. With your private guide, explore Old Delhi’s spice-scented lanes by rickshaw, wander the contemporary Lodhi Art District, and join an evening art walk followed by rooftop cocktails. At sunset, pause for an aarti ceremony — a ritual of light that brings a sense of collective stillness.

Travel by car to Agra, where every moment is measured against the ethereal beauty of the Taj Mahal. Witness its marble changing colours at both sunset and sunrise, then explore the Mughal grandeur of Agra Fort. From your room at the Oberoi Amarvilas, the Taj remains in view — a constant reminder of devotion and artistry.

Continue by car, stopping en route at Fatehpur Sikri — a deserted sandstone city frozen in time. Arrive at The Oberoi Vanyavilas, a jungle retreat where mornings begin with safaris in search of Royal Bengal tigers and evenings end beneath starlit skies. Relax with spa treatments, visit the 10th-century fort, or simply absorb the jungle rhythm.

Travel onward to Jaipur, where sacred marigolds set the tone of your days. On an exotic flower tour, trace their journey from temple rituals to artisan workshops, ending with hands-on block printing using floral pigments. Explore Amber Fort and the City Palace, then join an evening aarti for a moment of reflection.

Fly to Udaipur, the city of lakes and palaces. Take a boat across Lake Pichola, dine under starlight in your palace retreat, and paint in peaceful silence alongside a local miniature artist — each brushstroke an act of meditation. Wander spice markets, galleries and temples at leisure, then return to the serenity of The Oberoi Udaivilas, where courtyards and domes frame the water.

Fly back to Delhi for your final night at The Oberoi. Relax in familiar luxury, enjoy one last Ayurvedic treatment or rooftop cocktail, and reflect on a journey deeply rooted in soul and sensation.
