Iconic India: Tigers and the Taj Mahal
10 Days Tour
Sept 2025 - Apr 2026
India’s treasures are among the finest in the world: marbled mausoleums, intricate Mughal palaces and temples as gold and gleaming as the eyes of a Bengal tiger – the king of the Indian jungle – who stalks the lush forests of Ranthambore. This unforgettable journey through India starts in colorful Delhi, before following the border of Uttar Pradesh south to Agra, home of the iconic Taj Mahal mausoleum. Further south, your chances of spotting Bengal tigers at Ranthambore National Park are high – it’s one of the largest tiger habitats in the country. In Jaipur, A&K’s expert guides will help you get under the skin of the fast-moving city, and you’ll sleep in some of the most majestic properties on the planet.

A world of discoveries in India’s capital territory
This vast metropolis surrounding the capital, New Delhi, is a frenetic web at the heart of the nation, sending winding roads and railways in all directions – though Delhi has much to keep travelers within its grand, historic grip: the crimson towers of the Red Fort, former home of Mughal emperors; the grand palms and lavish mausolea of the Lodi Gardens, and the bustling bazaars of Chandni Chowk, where everything, from heaps of spices to ornate rugs, is sold side by side.
Your HIDDEN JOURNEYS Experiences: Lose yourself in Old Delhi on a rickshaw ride exploring the colorful chaos of the Chandni Chowk shopping bazaar. Visit Raj Ghat, where a black marble platform marks the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated in 1948, before visiting Humayun’s Tomb, a grand dynastic, 16th-century mausoleum that influenced the forms of the Taj Mahal.
Your Hotel:The Oberoi, New Delhi
An Indian icon and the world’s greatest monument to love
Though Agra bustles with bazaars and is littered with grand forts and mausoleums, many visitors find themselves powerless to the charms of one modern-day wonder of the world: the Taj Mahal. The ivory-white crown jewel of Muslim architecture was built in the mid-17th century by Shah Jahan for his late wife on the banks of the Yamuna river. It remains an edifice of elegance shimmering against the rise of the morning heat as bare feet step quietly across its marble floors.
Your HIDDEN JOURNEYS Experiences: Your morning starts at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fatehpur Sikri, India’s royal ghost town; once the Mughal capital of Emperor Akbar, its complex of 16th-century palaces, mosques, tombs and hidden passageways now stand eerily abandoned. After, you’ll witness the magic of the Taj Mahal at sunset, when the white marble is sun-lit in a mesmerizing shade of burning gold.
Your Hotel:The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra
Jungle adventures with India’s most majestic beasts
Enveloping a 10th-century fort of the same name, the lush forests of Ranthambore National Park sprawl through eastern Rajasthan, a former hunting ground where encounters with wildlife include macaques, crocodiles and India’s most regal residents, Bengal tigers. The warning call of a chital deer announces the arrival of India’s king of the jungle, as these graceful big cats pick their way through the scrub.
Your HIDDEN JOURNEYS Experiences: From comfortable jeeps visitors are treated to tiger sightings on early-morning game drives through the park. Your guide will also point out sambar deer, langurs and the brightly colored Indian paradise flycatcher. Enjoy time at leisure before another early-evening drive.
Your Hotel:The Oberoi Vanyavilas, Ranthambore
Rich architecture and royal stories in the Pink City
Forts, palaces, cenotaphs, domed towers: Jaipur is regal to its blushing-pink core. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II commissioned this majestic city beneath the Aravalli in 1727, endowing it with grand sights from the intricate facades of the Hawa Mahal, a pink sandstone palace, to the ornate courtyard havelis that crowd the Old City. Indeed, the romantic soul of the Rajasthani capital reveals itself in that rose-pink tangle of streets, where the intoxicating scent of laal maas drifts through bazaars heaving with wood carvings, pottery and gleaming lacquer bangles.
Your HIDDEN JOURNEYS Experiences: Explore the arresting Amber Fort, built from red sandstone and marble. This ornate Mughal citadel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is considered one of the finest hilltop forts in India.
Your Hotel: The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur
Sacred sites and bold cuisine in the heart of the Punjab
As if plucked from the pages of a picture book, the Golden Temple gleams like bullion at the heart of the Harmandir Sahib gurdwara. The holiest shrine in the Sikh faith stands in sacred waters, its lavish masterpiece of gold, filigree and precious stones mirrored in the surface. Beyond the hallowed grounds is a fast-paced city of bazaars and historic gardens, where locals cool down with ice-cold lassi and refuel with traditional fried fish and kulchas, soft leavened bread dripping with butter.
Your HIDDEN JOURNEYS Experiences: Witness the pomp and ceremony of the Attari-Wagah border ceremony, which takes place daily at sunset on the Pakistani border. To the sound of thunderous applause, soldiers from both countries perform highly elaborate marching routines as their national flags are lowered for the day in a show of national pride and camaraderie.
Your Hotel: Taj Swarna, Amritsar
