Delhi Jaipur package - Sultan Mahal

Maharaja-style starter pack

With this Delhi Jaipur package, you’ll live like a Maharaja for your introduction to India. After one night in a comfortable modern Delhi hotel, you’ll stay in palace style accommodation situated in a small village outside Jaipur - a magical experience that is sure to beat your expectations. After this, you’ll spend one night in an atmospheric haveli in the heart of Jaipur, draped in romance and tradition.

For many centuries, Jaipur has been the gateway to the vast desert of Rajasthan. The Marahajas and the merchants who lived here were some of the richest people in India, famed for their good taste and refinement. The merchants of Jaipur lived in luxuriously decorated residences known as havelis. These are beautiful buildings, where you can withdraw to the peace of the shady patios with a cup of chai.

Day Two: Delhi - Samode

Travel time - Delhi to Samode: approx 5-6 hours

Today, your Delhi and Jaipur package will take you to the village of Samode. When you approach the village you’ll see the imposing walls of the Rajasthani palace appear. All of a sudden, you’ll feel as though you’re in a fairytale. After passing through two massive gateways, you’ll find yourself in a palace garden. Bowing servants will welcome you into the palace, and you’ll be stunned by its elegance and grace. Every room is designed to be different, with authentic oriental ornaments and furniture. The palace is a glorious example of Rajput-Mughal architecture, and was built by an ancestor of the Singh family. As well as this inspiring setting and décor, you’ll find all of the facilities you could possibly dream of, including 2 beautiful swimming pools, a sauna and Ayurvedic centre, a sublime restaurant and an intimate courtyard bar as well as a glittering mirrored hall. It really is no wonder that this palace-style accommodation has been ranked amongst the Top 5 Hotels in the World by Time Magazine.
 

Day 3: Samode - Jaipur

Travel time - Samode to Jaipur: approx 1 hour

After breakfast in one of the shady inner courtyards or the elegant palace style accommodation restaurant, your Delhi and Jaipur package will continue with the one hour journey to Jaipur, where you’ll arrive at a charming old haveli. You’ll stay here for one night, so make the most of the elegant swimming pool and the cool serenity of the inner courtyards. Perhaps enjoy a cup of cardamom-spiced chai in the luxurious dining hall before flopping on to your magnificent four-poster bed. It’s tempting not to leave the haveli at all, but there is so much to see in this city that you’ll find yourself eager to explore. 
 
Delhi Jaipur package - Jaipur
In the afternoon, you’ll take a guided tour of the ancient Pink City, visiting the City Palace, the Observatory and the Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal). The centre of Jaipur is a lively jumble of colours, camel carts, elephants, beggars, rickshaws, temples, forts and palaces.

The City Palace and the Palace of the Winds both stand in the ancient quarter of the city. The City Palace has several beautiful museums with fascinating collections. If you see the flag flying, it means that the Maharaja is in residence. The Palace of the Winds is a world-famous, pyramid-shaped building with dozens of windows. This is where the women of the royal harem could watch the processions in the street below, unseen by the masses.

Day 4: Jaipur - End of module

Your Delhi and Jaipur package ends after breakfast this morning, and you can continue your adventure further into wonderful Rajasthan. For example, you could now choose to begin the Camels and Castles in Rajasthan or follow the Wonders of the World to the breathtaking Taj Mahal. If you would like to include an excursion to the Amber Fort just outside of Jaipur city then we recommend an extra night in Jaipur.
