Itinerary
Landing in Delhi, we’ll meet you at the airport and take you to the accom to meet up with your travel crew.
Wandering the streets of Chawri Bazaar, our local guide will show us how little traditional life has changed. We’ll get a taste into India’s renowned cuisine as we sample local delicacies. This afternoon we visit the magnificent, Jama Masjid, Rajghat Memorial and a Sikh Temple.
We’ll catch a short flight to Jodhpur, a 700-year-old city in the desert famously known as the ‘blue city’. We’ll hop on some tuk tuks for a tour of the city before watching the sunset and heading out for dinner.
Dominating the Jodhpur skyline, the impressive Mehrangarh Fort stands on a rocky hilltop overlooking the city. Visit the fort to learn the history of this area and for some impressive views. Then head out to explore the land the warm and hospitable Bishnoi people call home.
Today we venture away from civilization into the Thar Desert. We’ll jump on jeeps for a sunset desert safari and later we’ll sleep in traditional Swiss tents under the stars.
Pushkar, one of India’s holiest cities, awaits. Centered around a sacred lake, it’s a mustvisit for Hindu pilgrims. With vibrant markets and delicious food, Pushkar offers a unique charm unlike anywhere else in Rajasthan.
Start the day with a sunrise yoga class in the birthplace of yoga, finding peace and balance. After breakfast, we’ll visit Savitri Temple for stunning views over Pushkar. Then, it’s off to Jaipur, the ‘Pink City,’ with its striking rose-hued architecture. Tonight, we join a local family for dinner—and even try our hand at cooking!
Today, we’ll visit the romantic Amber Fort, travelling up by jeep to explore its beautifully adorned rooms and intricate artwork. After soaking it all in, we’ll stop by Hawa Mahal for a photo op (symmetry is tricky!) before heading to Jantar Mantar, Jaipur’s nearly 200-year-old observatory with its remarkable instruments.
Today w are heading for the outskirts of one of India’s largest and most renowned national parks. After checking in, there’s time to chill. Later we’re going into the jungle to explore Ranthambore Fort.
It’s an early start as we head out on a sunrise safari to try and spot some tigers in the wild. Ranthambore National Park is brimming with wildlife - monkeys, crocodiles, wild boars, deer, peacocks, and even leopards! After our morning safari, you are free to explore the local area.
Departing the jungle, en-route to our next location we will stop at the Abhaneri Stepwell. We’ll the make tracks to magical Agra and visit the tomb of I’timãd-ud-Daulah – otherwise known as the Baby Taj. This will definitely get us excited for tomorrow!
Wake up early and witness the dawn illuminate the famous Taj Mahal with a mesmerizing golden glow. One of the 7 New Wonders of the World, our local guide will share the Taj’s history. We’ll head back for breakfast and drive back to South Delhi. Tonight we’ll enjoy one last Indian feast and maybe even some Bollywood dancing.
Today we’ll board our included flight to the beautiful Sri Lanka!
This morning we’ll jump into tuk tuks to explore the pretty seaside town of Negombo, stopping off to visit the local fish markets. We’ll then head north to the serene and sacred town of Sigiriya, where we’ll check in to our lush hotel stay.
Today we’ll take in views of the ancient Sigiriya Rock Fortress as we climb the towering rock adjacent, with 360 degrees views from the top. We’ll then head to a local village before hopping on some unique, local transportation to be treated to a local cooking demonstration courtesy of the local ladies.
Today we head south to Kandy, stopping en route to visit a spice garden. We’ll head out to visit the fascinating Temple of the Tooth. Dinner and drinks tonight will give us the chance to experience Kandy’s nightlife offerings.
We’ll learn the art of tea picking (and brewing) from local pickers today. We’ll then hop on board a train for one of the ‘world’s most scenic train journeys’ bound for beautiful and serene Ella. Later we’ll go out to an incredible dinner at a very popular restaurant followed by a night out.
We will lace up our trainers to hike up the beautiful Little Adam’s Peak and enjoy the stunning views. After that little hike, you will have plenty of time to explore the lovely town of Ella.
This morning we’ll be making a stop at Nine Arches Bridge, one of the most Insta famous places in all of Sri Lanka. We’ll then continue south to Udawalawe National Park, where we’ll check in to our laid back hotel on the edge of the park.
Travelling by jeep at sunrise we’ll see free roaming wild elephants, plus other species like crocodiles, buffalo and bird life on safari. We’ll then head to the beachside oasis of Hiriketiya for a chilled afternoon. Later we’ll arrive at our beachfront eco retreat in gorgeous Tallala.
Participate in the included yoga session, read a book, enjoy an ayuverdic massage, or just snooze under a palm tree. The choice is yours today.
We’ll stop off at Welligama Beach this morning for a private surf lesson. We’ll later check into our beachfront accommodation in Mirissa, before visiting the iconic Coconut Tree Hill.
Today we’ll be heading to a Buddhist Monastery to take part in a cultural exchange with the local monk students. Tonight we’ll be treating you to a farewell dinner on the beach.
