Itinerary

Day 1

DelhiWhen you arrive in Delhi, you'll be collected by your private driver and taken to your hotel. You can choose from either a hotel situated about half an hour's drive from the airport or a charming hotel in Central Delhi, and ideal base to explore both the spice markets of Chandi Chowk and the modern bars of Connaught Place. Here, you can catch your breath and rest after your flight. In both hotels, you'll have a comfortable room with a private en-suite bathroom.


Day 2

Delhi - JaipurToday, you'll be transferred to Jaipur (approximately 5 hours), and you can watch exotic India speed past your window on the way. In Jaipur, you'll stay in a cosy family hotel for a firsthand experience of typical Indian hospitality. The rooms here are tastefully furnished in traditional Indian-style and several have four-poster beds. Breakfast is served in the romantic English tea garden. The family will go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. You'll spend two nights in this tranquil location.

Day 3

Jaipur tourOn Day 3, you'll take a guided tour of this remarkable city, visiting the City Palace, the Observatory and the fairy-tale Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal). In the afternoon, you'll visit the imposing Amber Fort that lies just outside the city limits. From the battlements of the Amber Fort, you'll have a wonderful view of the rocky hills and the smaller walls and forts constructed by the Rajputs and the Mughals in the area. The centre of Jaipur is a lively jumble of colours, camel carts, elephants, beggars, rickshaws, temples, forts and palaces.The City Palace and the Palace of the Winds both stand in the ancient quarter of the city.The City Palace has several beautiful museums with fascinating collections. If you see the flag flying, it means that the Maharaja is in residence. The Palace of the Winds is a world-famous, pyramid-shaped building with dozens of windows. This is where the women of the royal harem could watch the processions in the street below, unseen by the masses.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
