Do you have 10 days and dream of experiencing authentic India?
We offer you a journey to the heart of Rajasthan, among colorful cities, fairy-tale palaces and millenary spirituality. An itinerary designed for those who wish to discover Indian culture up close, getting in touch with the people, the history and the timeless beauty of this land.
Here is how you could live 10 days in India.
Day 1 – Delhi: the silent spirituality of the Sikh temple
Start in Delhi, a metropolis in constant motion. Discover the colors and poetic chaos of Old Delhi amid mosques, markets and rickshaws, but don’t miss the Sikh temple Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. You’ll enter barefoot, greeted by devotional chants and smiling faces. The real magic is in the community canteen: every day, thousands of people share a free meal prepared by volunteers. It is an experience that combines spirituality and humanity, hard to forget.
Day 2 – Mandawa: walking among the frescoed haveli
You leave the city and head into the rural regions of Rajasthan, where time seems to pass more slowly. Mandawa will surprise you with its haveli: ancient painted mansions, true architectural canvases that tell stories of merchants, travel and mythology. Walking among these silent palaces is like stepping into an illustrated novel.
Day 3 – Nagaur: the forgotten elegance of its fort
In the heart of Rajasthan, Nagaur holds an imposing fortress with ancient charm. Its red walls enclose hidden gardens and elegantly decorated palaces. It is a little-known place, but perfect for truly feeling the historical soul of this land.
Day 4 – Jodhpur: the view from Mehrangarh Fort
Welcome to the blue city. In Jodhpur, indigo-painted houses climb skyward. Not to be missed? The climb to Mehrangarh Fort: massive, majestic, with breathtaking views of the city that looks like a blue sea of stone. The light at sunset here is pure poetry.
Day 5 – Ranakpur: the sacred silence of Jain temples
Continue the journey through green hills and villages where people still live by the rhythms of the earth. The Jain temple of Ranakpur, carved entirely in marble, is one of the most spectacular in India. A labyrinth of carved columns where every step is an invitation to meditation.
Day 6 – Udaipur: a boat on the lake at sunset
In Udaipur, the city of lakes, the atmosphere is romantic and suspended. Palaces reflecting on the water, hidden gardens and flower-filled courtyards. The moment not to be missed? A boat ride at sunset, amid the golden glow of the sun and the dancing reflections of the City Palace.
Day 7 – Pushkar: a tour around the sacred lake
Leave Udaipur for Pushkar, one of the holiest cities for Hindus. There is an intense energy here: pilgrims, flowers, sounds of bells and sacred chants. Walking around the lake at sunset, past white steps and small temples, is a ritual of deep connection.
Day 8 – Jaipur: Climb Amber Fort by jeep
Jaipur is a riot of color, markets, palaces and life. The highlight? The climb to Amber Fort, the palace-fortress perched in the hills. Reaching it by jeep between vistas and ramparts, then getting lost among ornate courtyards and gilded frescoes, is like stepping into an Indian fairy tale.
Day 9 – Abhaneri: descend into the most spectacular stepped well
On the way to Agra, there is an amazing place: Chand Baori, a giant stepped well carved into the earth like a mandala. Walking down its symmetrical steps is like entering a work of art. From there we continue through abandoned buildings and stories of ancient capitals.
Day 10 – Agra: the Taj Mahal at dawn
The trip ends with one of the world’s most iconic symbols: the Taj Mahal. At dawn, when the rosy light caresses it and the air is still silent, this mausoleum of love will take your breath away. A perfect ending to an itinerary through the India of the heart.
