Morning light cuts through Old Delhi’s alleys as the city wakes: chai stalls steam, cycle rickshaws thread through spice-scented lanes, and the call to prayer floats above Jama Masjid. On this three-day circuit, travelers move from Delhi’s layered history to the Taj Mahal’s marble hush and then up to Jaipur’s pink sandstone ramparts—each city a different chapter of Mughal and Rajput life.
