The morning light on the Yamuna slices the Taj Mahal in slow motion—pale marble warming from pearly white to honeyed gold—while in the dry scrub of Ranthambore a tiger pads through tamarind and khair, patient and undeniable. This six-day loop across Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore and Jaipur moves fast: colonial boulevards and Mughal mausoleums give way to jeep tracks and pink sandstone palaces.
