Tour Overview
This 14 Days Luxury Rajasthan & Varanasi Journey combines India's classic heritage, royal Rajasthan and the spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi in one carefully paced private itinerary. The route links Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and Varanasi with private chauffeur service, expert local guides and a sequence of exceptional luxury hotels.
Recommended stays include The Oberoi New Delhi, The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra, The Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur, Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, The Oberoi Udaivilas in Udaipur and a carefully selected luxury heritage or premium river-oriented hotel in Varanasi.

Varanasi is treated as a meaningful final chapter rather than a quick add-on. The itinerary includes a relaxed arrival, private heritage exploration, evening Ganga Aarti, a sunrise boat experience and Sarnath with proper rest between early and late activities.
