Early today we visit what is one of the absolute highlights of the tour: the Taj Mahal, built in memory of his beloved empress, Mumtaz Mahal, by Emperor Shah Jahan. This marble mausoleum is the greatest gesture of love known to mankind. It is breathtakingly beautiful with many precious stones used in its inlays. Timed to correspond with the sunrise, we have ample time to explore this memorial.
In the afternoon we drive to Jaipur, the Capital of Rajasthan and often referred to as the ‘Pink City’. On arrival we check into our hotel for two magical nights. (BD)
We undertake a comprehensive full day tour of Jaipur taking in the highlights this interesting city has to offer. They include the Hawa Mahal, or the ‘Palace of Winds’, the Jantar Mantar (Astronomical Observatory) and the ornately decorated Amber Fort, located just outside the city. This was the seat of power before the City Palace was built, which is visited on our return to the city. (BL)
Early this morning we are taken to the airport for our flight to Udaipur where we are met and undertake one of the Inca Options listed below. Later you are taken to our hotel for a fabulous two-night stay. Udaipur is also known as the “Lake City” because of its two most beautiful sites, the dream-like Jag Niwas (Lake Palace) and the Jag Mandir marble palaces, which appear to rise from the blue waters of Lake Pichhola.

This morning we visit the famous City Palace. It is actually a collection of palaces all surrounded by the royal palace walls, which stretch over a mile on the eastern side of the lake. Following our tour of the palace we take a brief tour of Udaipur and then the remainder of the day is at leisure to further explore the palace or its surroundings. (BL)
