Travel Map

Day 1: Mumbai, India

Arrive in Mumbai, the illustrious gateway of India, where you are met and privately transferred to your luxurious hotel.

Day 2: Mumbai

Explore Mumbai on a visit that appeals to all of your senses, heading to a railway station to watch the famous dabbawalas, who deliver thousands of hot home-cooked meals in time for lunch. After savoring lunch at a local restaurant, visit a local spice market. Return to your hotel, where this evening you enjoy a welcome cocktail and dinner.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 3: Ranthambore National Park

Fly by private charter to Jaipur in the heart of Rajasthan. Travel to the southeast toward Ranthambore National Park. Along the way, stop for an exciting camel cart ride in the Rajasthani countryside followed by lunch at Talabgoan Castle. This evening at your hotel, listen to a special talk on Ranthambore’s wildlife and enjoy a Scenic Sundowner.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 4: Ranthambore National Park

Explore Ranthambore National Park on two thrilling game drives, spotting crocodiles, sloth bears, leopards or perhaps the rare and majestic Bengal tiger. Alternatively, you may choose to visit Ranthambore Fort this afternoon, which offers panoramic views of these former royal hunting grounds.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 5: Jaipur

Travel overland to Jaipur, where you settle into your stunning villa set in a beautiful garden with a private plunge pool and featuring exotic design touches, such as local textiles, in a fantasy of pinks, purples and greens. Later this afternoon, visit the local bazaar, taking in the colors and vibrancy of local life.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Dinner

Day 6: Jaipur

Visit the Amber Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built of red sandstone and overlooking a lake, it features opulent and influential design flourishes worthy of the Rajput rulers who once called it home. Savor lunch at a local restaurant, and then visit the City Pal...

Day 7: Jaipur

This morning, enjoy one of these Design Your Day options. Cycle on the Streets of Jaipur, stopping for chai at a local cafe, visiting a market and feeding cows for good karma. Visit Badal Mahal to interact with local women receiving training in craft making, supported...

Day 8: Agra & Varanasi

Today, fly to Agra via private charter. Upon arrival, explore the peerless Taj Mahal, a travel moment that never fails to amaze. Later, reboard your jet for a flight to Varanasi, a city of more than a thousand temples and shrines sacred to Hindus and Buddhists.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 9: Varanasi

Discover Sarnath, the place chosen by Buddha to deliver his first sermon. Explore the ruins of a once-flourishing Buddhist monastery and look around a museum of Buddhist art and sculpture. At dusk, beside the Ganges River, witness the aarti ceremony, as lantern-bearing priests bid the gods a restful slumber.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 10: Varanasi

Rise early for a private sunrise cruise on the Ganges River to observe activity along the ghats (stone steps leading down to the river), where locals and pilgrims cleanse themselves, literally and spiritually. Later, fly to Delhi for a farewell dinner.

Explore Delhi, old and new, visiting Jama Masjid. Then, ride by rickshaw through Chandni Chowk bazaar and encounter Humayun’s Tomb — an architectural precursor to the Taj Mahal. Stop for lunch at a restored 19th-century mansion, and enjoy views of Old Delhi from the haveli’s rooftop.

View Profile

At Abercrombie & Kent, we strive at every turn to redefine your notion of what is possible on a vacation. Our approach combines singular service — such as a private passage by road and lake through the Andes, or a maximum group size of only 12 guests on each Galápagos shore excursion — with insider-access opportunities unlike any you have experienced before. A&K lets you discover Machu Picchu through the eyes of its former resident archaeologist, and introduces you to Mayan culture firsthand, through an exclusive meeting with a Mayan family.

In these and myriad other ways, Abercrombie & Kent consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty — and no A&K journey is complete without that extra, unexpected "and" that makes your experience unique and unforgettable.

Choose from a Luxury Small Group Journey, the finest group travel experience in the world; a Connections journey, which combines A&K’s renowned service with unbeatable value; A Marco Polo Club Invitational Journey to an exotic locale; a private Signature Series itinerary; or a custom independent journey created just for you. When it comes to discovering the world, the possibilities are endless.

Making these extraordinary journeys possible are the handpicked experts in our 50 offices worldwide, on call around the clock. Chief among them are our resident A&K Tour Directors and local guides. The Tour Director leads each group departure, providing unmatched on-the-ground expertise with A&K local guides contributing along the way.

With expertise in not only luxury but culture, wildlife and history as well, Abercrombie & Kent reveals your destination with an authenticity beyond the reach of any other travel company.
