Peek at some of the residences of the nation's top officials lined around the vicinity.
Day 2: Exploring Delhi
Set out to explore Delhi, a city that combines its eclectic historic architecture and modern culture. Soak in the energy of the city, whether in the melodic hymn of the drifting call to prayer or in the energetic movement of the old market. In the city's ancient walls, find Chandni Chowk. This old market continues to brim with life, filled with the enticing smoky aromatics of grilled kebab and the rainbow clothing hidden in the bylanes.

From the old market to the Raj Ghat, the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial, venture through the new streets and the Raj Ghat before eventually bringing you to the Qutub Minar.

View the surrounding complex of ruined tombs and monuments, including Altamish's tomb, decorated with scrawling Islamic calligraphy.
Day 4: Heading to Udaipur
Meet your private guide at Udaipur airport, who will transfer you to your hotel. Find the tawny and purple woods of the surrounding foothills set alongside the banks of Lake Pichola. Venture out onto the cool lake, which ripples with the reflection of the surrounding mountains. Notice the City Palace complex along the shore, where gardens brush up against the banks, and the cupolas rise along the structure like mountain peaks. Soak in the calm and serene environs present in the vicinity of the Palace. The Palace on Jagmandier Island dates back to the 17th century. It begins to glisten in the sunset as the light glints off the water's surface.
Day 5: Discovering Udaipur
Visit the immaculate City Palace Complex that wraps around the lake's edges and stands like a regal memory. It is a modern museum and a collection of heirlooms of historic royalty. Discover eight arches on the left-hand side once inside the complex around the Great Gate. The arches commemorate the times that Maharajas were weighed in the open courtyard, and their weight in gold or silver was distributed to the local people. Venture into the large courtyard through the three-arched Tripolia Gate. Find a handicraft shop and a large tiger-catching cage. It is a unique look into the city and Palace's treasured past, from the artisans' current workings to the historical commemoration of the royal benevolence.
Day 6: Medieval Udaipur
Journey away from the glittery waters of Udaipur, watching the ramparts of the City Palace fade from view and be replaced by the marvelous 15th-century Jain Temples at Ranakpur. Relax in the temple complex constructed of cool white marble that brings a pearlescent glow to the entire area. The structure is filled with 1,444 pillars and decorated with detailed carvings. Chaumukha Mandir, known as the Four-Faced Temple, was constructed in the 15th century with milk-white marble. Wonder at the twenty-nine halls and 80 domes come together to show the architect's and funder's devotion. Then, continue to the remote fort of Kumbhalgarh at 3,300 feet and be welcomed by the massive entrance gate, known as Ram Gate. It protects a wall only second in size to the Great Wall of China.
Day 7: Venturing to Jodhpur
Head to the Bishnoi Village, where the people have been known since the 15th century for their conservationist religion for preserving animals and vegetation.

Then, come to Pushkar, a unique city that draws in Hindu pilgrims and curious travelers alike with its charm and the holy Brahma temples. When entering the religious complexes, find numerous bathing ghats among 400 milky-blue temples. Feel the earth tingle with humming prayers, drums, and gongs echoing off the mountains and the marble.
