Today get a real feel for Delhi, exploring the old and new areas of the city. Starting in the Old City, experience the sights, smells and people of Chandni Chowk Bazaar with your private local guide. Driving over to New Delhi, you will see some of the architectural highlights, including the iconic India Gate.

Check out of your hotel and drive three hours to Agra by road. On arrival, explore the Red Fort with your private guide. Enjoy abundant facilities at your hotel this evening, including views of the Taj Mahal from your room.

Rise early this morning to see the iconic Taj Mahal at sunrise. At this time, the beautiful site is at its quietest, allowing for more of a tranquil experience. Drive onward for about five hours to Jaipur with your driver, via the village of Abhaneri which is home to the beautiful Chand Baoris stepwell. Arriving in Jaipur, you have the evening to relax.

Today enjoy a private guided tour of Amber Fort, the original Maharaja's Palace, which lies 40 minutes outside the city. Following your time at the fort, visit the local Museum of Hand Printing housed in a restored haveli, where you'll learn about this traditional art form. Drive back into the city to explore the sights of Jaipur itself, which is fondly known as the Pink City, including the City Palace and the Palace of the Winds.

Spend the morning relaxing at your hotel. We recommend a leisurely breakfast, followed by some time to simply lay by the pool. This afternoon, join a local guide to explore the textiles, arts and foods that make the Pink City so iconic. Widely acknowledged as the craft capital of India, Jaipur is thriving with workshops in the oldest parts.

After a slow start to the day, travel by road back to Delhi for your final night in India. The drive takes about five hours, but your driver can suggest places to stop along the way if you wish.

An early start as you are taken to the airport for your flight to Malé. On arrival at Malé, you are met by a resort representative and transferred by seaplane to the luxury island of Milaidhoo. Here you can enjoy your time in the Maldives and spend your time at leisure relaxing on the beach.

Today you have the day to simply relax and recover from the busy pace of India, or explore your Maldivian Island. Spend some time in the spa, or relax with a book on the beach or by your own plunge pool.

Another day free to relax. Consider joining the chef to pick fresh ingredients for your private lunch, or ask the resident mixologist for a tasting session.

Your final day in the Maldives. With crystal clear waters and a vibrant array of marine life, it's worth taking some time to snorkel or dive. Guided snorkeling and diving trips leave from the island, or simply wade in right from the beach.

This morning you will be transferred by speedboat back to Malé to catch your onward flight home.
