Day 1: Takeoff

Pack your bags and set off to your departure airport ready to check-in for an overnight flight to Delhi, India's vibrant capital.

Days 2 & 3: Delhi

Starting from the moment you touch down in Delhi, you’ll be initiated into the city’s cacophony of sounds, kaleidoscope of colours and fragrant aromas. Transfer straight to your hotel and rest up ahead of your India adventure, and if time permits, why not start with a little solo exploration of Delhi’s historic centre, dotted with relics of the city’s past under Islamic rule?

The following morning, you’ll be whisked away after breakfast for a tour of Old Delhi, taking a deep-dive into Indian culture from the majestic Jama Masjid Royal Mosque to the lively Chandni Chowk Street. Make like a local and embark on a rickshaw ride around the Red Fort, former residence of the Imperial Family, and stop by the Raj Ghat to see the place where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated. In the afternoon, experience a different side of the city with a visit to New Delhi, passing by the India Gate, the Mausoleum of Emperor Humayun, and the imposing Presidential Palace.

Days 4 & 5: Jaipur

Today marks the beginning of your Rajasthan adventure - you're headed for Jaipur, the so-called Pink City and a historical melting-pot of Hindu, Jain and Mughal culture. Enjoy your first glimpse of the Rajasthani landscape as you travel through local villages and countryside, and after settling into your hotel you'll have some free time to unwind or get exploring. Come evening, the city's buildings exude a magical pink and orange glow, while a stroll through the streets will reveal a kaleidoscope of camel-drawn carts and colourfully-dressed residents.

The next morning, your first port of call will be the highly-snappable Hawa Mahal, known as the Palace of the Winds, one of India's most beloved historic buildings with a fascinating past. Next up, fasten your seatbelt as you embark on an exciting Jeep excursion to the Amber Fort, whose striking façade conceals the magnificent Sheesh Mahal, a lavishly-decorated room that was once the backdrop for the glamorous lives of the Maharajas. In the afternoon, it’s back to Jaipur for a tour of the city, passing by the spectacular Palace of the Maharaja and impressive Jantar Mantar, the world’s largest observatory.

Day 6: Fatehpur Sikri & Agra

Today you’ll be setting off back into the dusty landscapes of Rajasthan, stopping to admire the majestic red buildings and towering Bulund Darwaza gateway of Fatehpur Sikri, an otherworldly ghost town whose only inhabitants are relics of Mughal splendour from times gone by. From here, you’ll head onwards to awe-inspiring Agra, where red sandstone buildings brush shoulders with glittering marble edifices. After settling in at your hotel, you’ll set out to explore the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses the dazzling Pearl Mosque.

Day 7: Delhi

Return to bustling Delhi for today’s top-of-the-bucket-list tour - none other than the Taj Mahal itself. Dedicated to the beloved wife of a Mughal Emperor, the soaring marble mausoleum steals the show with its brilliant domes and majestic fountain, and of course the famous bench where millions have their photo taken each year. In the afternoon, a scenic drive will take you back to Delhi where you’ll spend the rest of the day at your leisure, reflecting on the soul-stirring sights you’ve seen and preparing for the final leg of your adventure.

Days 8 - 10: Maldives

Today marks the start of your all-inclusive, all-out relaxation experience as you jet off to Malé, the capital of the Maldives. The early morning will feel more than worth it once you’re slicing through the waves on a speedboat towards your hotel, with the sea air streaming past and idyllic atolls rising out of the ocean at every turn.

While away the hours as you wish in this otherworldly tropical paradise, where you can paddle away in the turquoise waters, discover colourful reefs beneath the waves, indulge in a soothing massage, or simply take in spellbinding views over tantalising fresh seafood.

Day 11: Homeward bound
