Dawn spills across the Yamuna as your private car eases through New Delhi’s wide avenues — a city that hums with layered histories. The first morning finds you at the Taj Mahal as the monument’s marble takes on soft gold; later, Jaipur’s red sandstone palaces glow under a cooler sunset. This is a three-day circuit that moves you from colonial boulevards to Mughal mausoleums and Rajput forts without the crowds of a group bus.
