The journey begins in northern India, amid the vibrant atmosphere of Delhi and the timeless splendour of Agra, before immersing itself in the colours and charm of Rajasthan. You will pass through cities that seem to have come straight out of a fairy tale: Udaipur, the romantic city of lakes; Jodhpur, enveloped in the indigo hues of its houses; Jaipur, the elegant and majestic capital of the region. In the heart of the wilderness, Ranthambore National Park offers the rare thrill of encountering tigers in their natural habitat. The journey ends in Mumbai, a fascinating and contradictory metropolis, one of the most beautiful and intriguing cities in India. Accompanying the experience is the comfort and elegance of a stay in the prestigious Taj Hotels chain, making the trip even more memorable.
