Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi Hotels

Delhi – Agra – Fatehpur Sikri – Ranthambhore – Jaipur – Udaipur

Our Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi Hotels invites you to gaze at the Taj Mahal from the comfort of your private terrace at The Oberoi Amarvilas. Experience a luxury safari camp on the edge of a tiger reserve at The Oberoi Vanyavilas. Live the life of a maharaja at The Oberoi Rajvilas and The Oberoi Udaivilas. When paired with our experienced guides, dedicated drivers and seamless service, it’s easy to see why this is one of our most popular tours. Still, it’s merely a starting point to share a flavour of the possibilities – we can tweak or completely transform it until we’ve tailor-made your ideal journey.

Voted as the ‘Best in the World’ by readers of Travel+Leisure, the Oberoi hotels are the epitome of opulence and will ensure a genuinely dignified stay in Rajasthan. These luxurious properties exude elegance and sophistication while retaining an authentic Indian charm. Exploring Rajasthan with Indian Excursions, while staying in Oberoi hotels, is an award-winning combination for the ultimate in luxury.

Day 1

Arrive in Delhi (stay at The Oberoi, New Delhi)

Your Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi Hotels kicks off on your arrival in the capital. A member of our team will meet you at the airport and accompany you to The Oberoi, New Delhi. Recently having undergone an extensive two-year renovation, The Oberoi is perfect for those who’re seeking excellent service and a range of facilities and is one of the capital’s best luxury hotels. It’s well located for exploring the sights and overlooks Delhi’s golf course. The very chic 360 bar and restaurant, and a fantastic spa, contribute to its excellent reputation. Comparable hotels to choose from in Delhi include The Leela Palace, The Imperial, and The Lodhi. People who prefer history and colonial art will be happier at The Imperial, and for high-octane Indian glamour, The Leela Palace is perfect. The Lodhi, on the other hand, is well suited to those looking for understated and contemporary luxury.

The rest of the day, if any, is at leisure to settle in, and recuperate from your international journey. Depending on how early in the day you arrive, if you’d like to begin exploring this afternoon, you can let us know anytime. Your chauffeur is always on hand, and we’re only a quick call away on your complimentary mobile phone (or WhatsApp, if you prefer).

Day 2

In Delhi

A guided tour of both Old and New Delhi today will introduce you to the Jama Masjid, Qutab Minar, India Gate, Parliament House, Humayun’s Tomb and the Sikh temple. These sights are purely suggestive. You’re very welcome to tweak them with us in advance to best suit your interests, or even on the day itself by discussing with your guide at the time. We’re known for our flexible approach, allowing you complete control over the pace of your trip. After exploring the bustling capital, return to The Oberoi in the evening. There are three lovely in-house restaurants to choose from at The Oberoi (an Indian, a Chinese, and a multi-cuisine), but if you’d like to dine out we recommend the award-winning Indian Accent or Bukhara.

Day 3

Delhi to Agra (stay at The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra)

After breakfast, your Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi Hotels takes you on a drive to Agra – home of the magnificent Taj Mahal, and The Oberoi Amarvilas. Located a mere 600 metres from the Taj Mahal, The Oberoi Amarvilas is known for its luxury and style. The fabulous swimming pool and sweeping gardens make this an ideal place to rest and relax. All rooms and suites afford an uninterrupted view of the Taj Mahal. Without the restriction of visiting hours, you can catch the Taj Mahal peachy pink at dawn, glowing amber at sunset and glittering in the moonlight after dark. The rest of the day is yours at leisure to relax and enjoy the hotel. If you prefer a swifter pace, one night in Agra (instead of two) is sufficient to do justice to the Taj Mahal, and you can visit the monument this afternoon. In this sample itinerary, we’ve suggested a second night in Agra to ensure adequate time to enjoy The Oberoi Amarvilas as well. For an exceptional experience, we recommend upgrading to the Premier Room with Balcony. As the name suggests, this room affords a private terrace from where you can sit out and soak up a fabulous view of the Taj Mahal. You can even enjoy an exclusive four-course dinner on the balcony overlooking the monument. What an unforgettable way to experience the Taj Mahal!

Day 4

In Agra

Your guide will introduce you to the highlights of Agra, taking in the fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah and – of course – the magnificent Taj Mahal.

Day 5

Agra to Ranthambhore (stay at The Oberoi Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore)

This morning you have the option of returning to the Taj Mahal at sunrise if you fancy. Later in the day, you’ll drive to Bharatpur to catch the train to Ranthambhore. Visit the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri en-route to Bharatpur. When you arrive in Ranthambhore, a member of our team will meet you at the platform and accompany you to The Oberoi Vanyavilas. Here, you’ll be spending two nights in a luxury tent. The opulence of The Oberoi Vanyavilas is the perfect contrast to the ruggedness of Ranthambhore National Park. Each Luxury Tent is draped in fine fabric, dotted with traditional Rajasthani block-printed motifs. The beautiful free-standing claw-foot bathtub is a glamorous touch.

Day 6

In Ranthambhore

Day six of your Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi Hotels invites you to enjoy a day of safari, on the trail of tiger, in Ranthambhore National Park. Ranthambhore is well known as one of the best spots in the world to view the majestic Bengal Tiger in its natural habitat. Your safaris will be in a private jeep, with only you and your experienced naturalist guide. Between hand, there’ll be a few hours at leisure to unwind at The Oberoi Vanyavilas and discuss sightings with staff and other guests. We recently headed into the park; you may like to read about our experiences by clicking here.

Day 7

Ranthambhore to Jaipur (stay at The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur)

After breakfast, we’ll drive you to Jaipur, also known as Rajasthan’s ‘Pink City’. Upon arriving in Jaipur, head to The Oberoi Rajvilas to relax and enjoy the Pink City’s most luxurious hotel.There are not many hotels in the world where check-in involves a brightly painted elephant and a fragrant shower of rose petals, but then again the Oberoi Rajvilas does not settle for anything less than spectacular! The resort is almost a destination in itself, with sprawling gardens and a 250-year-old Hindu temple in the grounds. The signature Oberoi service is attentive yet unobtrusive. The Oberoi Rajvilas even employ a handful of staff with the sole responsibility of shooing pigeons from the pool! One of the finest hotels in Rajasthan, The Oberoi Rajvilas is an opulent choice for those seeking luxury and a royal experience.

Day 8

In Jaipur

A full day of guided sightseeing in the Pink City, today. Begin at the splendid Amber Fort, later taking in the City Palace and its little-known private rooms, the Jantar Mantar observatory, and the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds). Optionally, continue to Dera Amer for a memorable evening with elephants. It’s a magical place on the outskirts of the city, where you can spend time up close with elephants by helping to feed and bathe them, before taking a gentle walk together through the surrounding forest at sunset (Dera Amer do not encourage rides). If meeting elephants isn’t your thing, this can certainly be removed or replaced. Perhaps with a private cooking class or a special dinner recommendation. For those who are interested in spending time with elephants, Dera Amer is a fantastic and ethical place to do it.

Day 9

Jaipur to Udaipur (stay at The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur)

Board a short flight to the dreamy city of Udaipur this morning (the journey is driveable, but we recommend flying to reduce travel time. If you’d rather limit internal flights and avoid long drives, may we recommend including a night or two en-route at Dev Shree, Deogarh? It’s nestled in the heart of rural Rajasthan, conveniently halfway between Jaipur and Udaipur). Also known as the ‘Venice of the East’, Udaipur is abundant with lakes and ancient water palaces, drenched in history and romance. On arrival, our representative will accompany you to The Oberoi Udaivilas where the remainder of the day’s at leisure. Resting on the banks of Lake Pichola, The Oberoi Udaivilas is unashamedly opulent and the stuff of fairy-tales. So much so, in recent years it was voted ‘Best Hotel in the World’ by Travel+Leisure. For many, it’s the highlight of our Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi Hotels.

Day 10

In Udaipur

If you can tear yourself away from The Oberoi Udaivilas, your guided tour of Udaipur will begin at the magnificent City Palace. This sprawling palace is the largest in Rajasthan and stands on a ridge overlooking the lake. Cupolas crown its octagonal towers, which are connected by a maze of narrow passageways. The rooms inside the City Palace all contain decorative art: beautiful paintings, colourful enamel, inlay glass-work, and antique furniture. Later continue with a walking tour through the old city, where narrow, winding streets are teeming with shops selling clothing, silver jewellery, and leather-bound journals. Other highlights include the Jagdish Temple, Saheliyon ki Bari (a beautiful rose garden), and the Crystal Gallery. End your day on a truly special note with a private, sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola, in the Oberoi’s charming shikara boat.

Day 11

Fly back to Delhi (stay at The Oberoi Gurgaon, Delhi)

The morning is free to relax and enjoy one of India’s finest hotels or explore the easy-going town of Udaipur further at your own pace. This afternoon, you’ll board a flight back to Delhi for an overnight stay at The Oberoi, Gurgaon.

Day 12

Depart from Delhi

Today you’ll be chauffeured back to Delhi IGI airport in time for your onward flight. This additional stop is optional – you might prefer to connect directly from Udaipur, especially if your international departure is scheduled at night or in the early hours. We can fine-tune this together to best suit your wider arrangements.

2022/23 Guide price:

In other words, we offer a seamless and hassle-free experience where the only thing you need to worry about is soaking up the sights and enjoying your luxurious Oberoi hotels! This indicative cost is per person, based on a couple travelling between October 2022 and March 2023, sharing a double or twin room. The cost would reduce significantly during the low-season months of April to September, while it will be noticeably higher during the peak Christmas and New Year period. We can arrange this itinerary at any time of the year, though it’s best between October and March. Ranthambhore National Park and The Oberoi Vanyavilas close annually from 1st July – 01st September.

Optionally, those with a keen interest in colonial history may like to extend their journey with a stay at The Oberoi Grand in Kolkata (here we have a fantastic sample trip). Or take in the spectacular Himalayan foothills at the Oberoi Wildflower Hall in Shimla (our suggested Shima extension is the perfecting pairing for our Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi Hotels). You could also end your tour in bustling Bombay with a stay at The Oberoi, Mumbai, rather than returning to Delhi (here’s how we recommend you spend 72 hours in Mumbai). For more inspiration like this, do have a browse through our other Luxury Oberoi India Tours, (including our popular Luxury Golden Triangle Tour with Oberoi Hotels) and our Insider’s Guide to Oberoi Hotels in India. Or, to experience the Oberoi’s signature luxury with a bit of variety, our suggested Luxury Rajasthan Tour with Oberoi, Leela & Taj Hotels may be up your street. All our tours are private, and tailor-made to complement your taste and interests.
