Experience the ancient magic and modern energy that is India on this exclusive 15-day journey, featuring luxury stays at legendary properties, authentic cuisine, thrilling game drives, and three nights in the storied city of Mumbai. A world of centuries-old marvels and natural beauty awaits as you explore some of India’s most iconic sites and destinations, from the 17th century forts, palaces, and bazaars of Old and New Delhi to the sprawling jungle of Ranthambore National Park – home to India’s famous Bengal tigers – and on to cosmopolitan Mumbai.
You’ll savor a breathtaking sunset at the Taj Mahal in Agra and then return at first light to watch the sun rise over this legendary UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. After leaving the Maharaja’s former royal hunting grounds in Ranthambore you’ll journey to the pink city of Jaipur, where immersive excursions include a visit to the majestic City Palace, a sprawling complex that showcases Rajput, Mughal, and European architectural influences, paired with a tour of the Jantar Mantar observatory.
Feel the daily pulse of Mumbai as you watch dabbawalas head out on their bicycles to deliver home-cooked meals to local workers—just in time for their lunch break – and visit Dhobi Ghat’s outdoor laundry where residents have been hand-washing their personal items for more than 140 years. Another Mumbai highlight is an inside visit to the Mani Bhavan – a serene, well-preserved residence where Mahatma Gandhi lived during key moments of India’s independence movement. This meticulously curated expedition to the heart of India features the ultimate blend of historical discovery and meaningful engagement with the people who call these places home, revealing a rich tapestry that spans millennia.
