Travel story
From Delhi to the Ajanta and Ellora cave complexes, the Pink City Jaipur, and Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. This journey explores not only Mughal architecture and Rajasthan's royal palace culture, but also World Heritage sites that bear the history of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, offering a deep immersion into Indian civilization. On December 24 enjoy a special Christmas Eve dinner in Agra, and the next day visit the Taj Mahal. To conclude the trip, visit Delhi's Laxmi Narayan Temple and experience making chai and home cooking in an Indian family. From magnificent ruins to everyday life, this trip lets you experience India from many angles.
Signature points
To Ajanta and Ellora: A World Heritage journey tracing the depths of Indian civilization
Go beyond the classic Delhi–Jaipur–Agra route and extend your travels to Aurangabad. At Ajanta, explore cave temples that preserve ancient Buddhist art; at Ellora, visit cave complexes of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. Viewing the architecture and sculptures carved directly into vast rock faces reveals the long, layered history of religion and culture in India.
From the Pink City to the Taj Mahal: Enjoy royal culture and Christmas Eve
In Jaipur, visit the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), Amber Fort, City Palace, and Jantar Mantar to experience the lavish royal culture of Rajasthan. In the evening enjoy dinner while watching traditional folk dance. On December 24 travel via the striking Chand Baori stepwell with its geometric steps to Agra. Enjoy a special Christmas Eve dinner at the hotel and the next morning visit the World Heritage Taj Mahal—one of the trip’s highlights.
Not just sightseeing: Encounter daily life at temples and in Indian homes
The trip concludes with a visit to Delhi’s Laxmi Narayan Temple (Birla Temple) to experience India’s devotional culture. Afterwards visit a local family to enjoy interaction and try making Indian-style chai and home-cooked dishes. If desired, you can go to the market with the family to select vegetables for lunch. Conclude the journey by sensing a different side of India—the everyday life distinct from its majestic World Heritage sites.
