A new perspective—India’s pulse, beautifully decoded
Delhi — A New Perspective on Old City Life
Begin in Delhi with a stay at The Imperial Hotel, then step into the layered heart of the city on a private walking tour through the Old City. You’ll weave past the domes and minarets of Jama Masjid and into the aromatic intensity of Chandni Chowk market, where the city’s rhythm is best understood on foot.
One of the most meaningful moments here is the Salaam Baalak walk—an experience guided by a young local who grew up in the neighborhoods around Delhi’s railway station, offering a rare, human perspective on daily life and resilience.
Jodhpur & Jawai — The Blue City, Then Leopard Country
Next, head to Jodhpur and check in at the Raas Hotel, set beneath the dramatic presence of Mehrangarh Fort. Explore the city privately—from fortress views to the Old City’s lesser-seen bazaars and carved havelis—then step inside Kishanji Temple, known for its garland makers and sweet shops.
From here, the landscape shifts into the rolling hills and rivers of the Aravalli Mountains as you travel on to Jawai Leopard Camp. Over the next two days, head out on game drives through the hills in search of the region’s famously elusive leopards—wild, quiet, and unforgettable when you spot them.
Udaipur — Ancient Arts & Local Flavours on Lake Pichola
Arrive in Udaipur, framed by the Aravalli Hills and centered around Lake Pichola, and stay at the iconic Taj Lake Palace—a floating address that makes slowing down feel natural. Begin with a private city tour through older quarters, including a pause for tea with a local vendor before a masterclass in the intricate art of Jal Sanjhvi, led by one of its remaining practitioners.
The next day goes deeper into everyday life: meet a local family at the market, visit their favorite vendors for ingredients, then return home for an intimate cooking lesson that feels more like being welcomed than being instructed. To close your India chapter, take a sunset boat cruise across Lake Pichola, watching the city turn dusky pink as the day fades.
The Maldives — Six Senses Laamu and Reef-Time Reset
After a quick overnight in Delhi, swap tuk-tuks and markets for the hush of palms and water. Fly to the Maldives, then transfer by speedboat to Six Senses Laamu—your barefoot-luxury base for the final four days. Life here is beautifully simple: sea time, spa time, and starlit dinners, all elevated by the attentive care of your personal butler.
