Due to temperatures and precipitation, Delhi and much of northern India can be an extreme place to visit during certain months of the year. The hottest months of the year are May and June, during which time temperatures can get up to 40°C. The coldest months are from December until February whilst the monsoon season is from the end of May through to August. During this time although the the temperature cools, the humidity is very high, and rainstorms are frequent. It is not advised to visit during these months. The best season to visit is between October and March when the weather is pleasant and very cool, making it great for sightseeing.
Itinerary
Fly to Delhi
New Delhi, India
Starting in Delhi, you’ll have two nights in the city to start the adventure. Delhi is a city constantly on the move, reflecting India itself as an ever changing cultural and economic landscape. With your private guide, explore the colonial buildings of New Delhi and the Red Fort and Jama Masjid Mosque of Old Delhi all the while being surrounded by vibrant markets of flowers, jewellery and spices.
Accommodation: The Oberoi New Delhi ( 2 nights )
Varanasi, Delhi and the North, India
From Delhi you will head next to Varanasi which you will reach after a short internal flight of just under two hours. Set on the banks of the river Ganges, Varanasi has long been a place of pilgrimage with ceremonial offerings, lighting of funeral priers and the washing away of sins all daily occurrences on the river’s edge. Varanasi is one of the most evocative and vibrant places in the world and you could just sit back and watch the world pass you by here with a steady hum of people going about their daily and colourful lives. With your private guide, over your two nights in Varanasi, you’ll explore the Ganges by boat on morning and evening cruises, the best way to see the city. Alongside we have also included a walking tour of the Varanasi Ghats along the river front and the chance to take part in an Aarti Ceremony at Assi Ghat.

Agra, India
Next on the adventure from Varanasi you’ll fly back to Delhi and from here drive to Agra, the home of the magnificent Taj Mahal. On arrival in Agra with your private guide you’ll get to visit the impressive Agra Fort and the Mughal mausoleum of Itimad ud Daulah. The following morning at sunrise, you’ll have the chance to visit the Taj Mahal when the light is at its most beautiful. As the ultimate testament to love, on seeing the monument first hand it’s not hard to see why it is one of the world’s most famous masterpieces.
Accommodation: The Oberoi Amarvilas ( 1 night )
Jaipur
After one night in Agra, it is then on to Jaipur by car which will take just over four hours. As the capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur lives up to its royal prestige, full of beautiful palaces, gardens and lavish pavilions. Known as the Pink City, owing to the colour of all of its buildings specially swathed in honour of the Prince of Wales’ visit, it is a magical city to explore. With your private guide you’ll be able to explore the impressive Amber Fort, Jaipur's colour bazaars, as well as the beautiful city palace, observatory and palace of winds.
