On this seven-day circuit you move by private, air-conditioned transfer between three cities whose stones keep different chapters of India’s past—imperial Mughal tombs, Mughal and Rajput forts, and a planned pink city that still hums with market life.

Book the Taj at sunrise
Reserve early entry to the Taj Mahal for softer light and smaller crowds; hotels can arrange transfers well before dawn.
Carry government ID
Indian monuments require ID for entry and sometimes photocopy; keep it handy to speed checkpoint processing.
Dress for modesty and heat
Light, breathable layers that cover shoulders and knees work for temples and sun exposure—avoid sleeveless tops for certain sites.
Bargain in markets, fixed price at boutiques
Haggle in street bazaars but expect fixed prices at branded stores and palace gift shops; start lower and be polite.
Comfortable walking shoes
Closed shoes with good grip are useful for palace courtyards, uneven steps, and long market strolls.
Reusable water bottle with filter
Staying hydrated in India’s heat is critical; a filtered bottle avoids relying on single-use plastics.
