The Experience: A Day-by-Day Breakdown

While in Jaipur, here are other experiences we've covered

Day 1: From Delhi to the Heart of India’s Capital

Your adventure begins the moment you arrive in Delhi. Greeted by a representative, you’re whisked away in air-conditioned comfort to start exploring. The first stops include Qutub Minar, a towering UNESCO World Heritage site that showcases intricate Islamic architecture; Humayun’s Tomb, which offers a tranquil reflection of Mughal craftsmanship; and the bustling India Gate, a war memorial that’s a favorite for photos and people-watching.

In the afternoon, you might visit the Lotus Temple, a stunning Bahá’í House of Worship shaped like a lotus flower, or explore other cultural sites depending on your interests. The guides, including Lina and Raj, are praised for their knowledge and friendly demeanor, helping make history come alive. The day winds down with an overnight stay in Delhi, leaving you energized for the journey ahead.

Day 2: The Pink City and Its Wonders

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll head southwest toward Jaipur—about a six-hour drive. The drive itself becomes part of the experience, offering glimpses of rural Rajasthan and vibrant roadside markets. Upon arrival, check into your hotel, then set out for afternoon sightseeing.

Amber Fort is the first major stop—an imposing hilltop fortress with sprawling courtyards, ornate halls, and sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. We loved the way the guides explained the blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture. Next, the City Palace offers a peek into royal life with its museums and courtyards, and the Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory provides a fascinating look at medieval science.

No visit to Jaipur is complete without a photo stop at Hawa Mahal, the “Palace of Winds,” with its honeycomb façade designed for royal women’s privacy. Evening options include wandering the lively local markets—perfect for picking up souvenirs—or relaxing at your hotel. The guides are attentive, making sure you get the most out of each site.

Day 3: From Jaipur to the Wilderness of Jim Corbett

Prepare for a long day with an early start. After breakfast, you’ll begin the approximately 7-8 hour drive to Jim Corbett National Park. This is the highlight for wildlife enthusiasts—famous for its tiger sightings, although sightings depend on natural movements.

Arriving at the resort inside the park, we appreciated the comfortable accommodations that feel peaceful and in tune with the jungle surroundings. The evening is yours to relax, perhaps with a quiet walk or drink at the lodge, while preparing for the big event tomorrow—the safari.

Early mornings at Jim Corbett are a treat. You’ll go on a jeep safari in a private vehicle, guided by an English-speaking forest guide. While tiger sightings can’t be guaranteed—”Tiger sightings depend on natural movements and cannot be guaranteed,” as the organizers note—the best available zones are booked to boost your chances.

You might spot elephants, deer, peacocks, or even a majestic tiger. We loved the thrill of being out in the wild, with the jungle waking up around us. After the safari, enjoy breakfast at the resort, then start your journey back to Delhi, about 5-6 hours by road.

Arriving in Delhi in the evening, you’ll find last-minute sightseeing or shopping options, depending on your schedule. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel or the airport.
