Delhi/Jaipur

Visit Delhi's impressive India Gate and Connaught Place before traveling to Jaipur, commonly called the "Pink City" for its unique architecture.

Jaipur

Explore Amber Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, clinging to the surrounding hills on Maota Lake.

Then, visit the palace complex to learn more about the ancient history here. Opt to witness an evening puja, a Hindu prayer ceremony.
