When you arrive in Delhi our representative will transfer you by private car to your Delhi travel hotel. You can choose from either a hotel situated about half an hour’s drive from the airport or a charming hotel in Central Delhi and ideal base to explore both the spice markets of Chandi Chowk and the modern bars of Connaught Place. Here you can catch your breath from your Delhi travel and rest after your flight. In both hotels they are comfortable rooms with a private en-suite bathroom.

 

Today your Delhi travel journey continues to Jaipur(approximately 5 hours), and you can watch exotic India speed past your window on the way. In Jaipur we have selected a cosy family hotel for a firsthand experience of typical Indian hospitality. The rooms here are tastefully furnished in traditional Indian-style and several have four-poster beds. Breakfast is served in the romantic English tea garden. The family will go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. With this Delhi travel experience you spend two nights in this tranquil location.

On Day 3 we have included a guided tour of this remarkable city, visiting the City Palace, the Observatory and the fairy-tale Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal). In the afternoon your driver will then take to you the imposing Amber Fort that lies just outside the city limits. From the battlements of the Amber Fort it is a wonderful view of the rocky hills and the smaller walls and forts constructed by the Rajputs and the Mughals in the area. The centre of Jaipur is a lively jumble of colours, camel carts, elephants, beggars, rickshaws, temples, forts and palaces...a great place to finish your Delhi travel.

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.

After this Delhi travel to Jaipur on the Easy Going package you will feel excited to continue onto your next adventure. Jaipur is a perfect starting point for other trips into Rajasthan. For example, you could now choose to continue your Rajasthan travel with our 'Camels and castles in Rajasthan' module or explore Taj Mahal India with 'Wonders of the World'.
