Our fabulous Luxury India Tour with Oberoi Hotels will awaken all your senses, taking in stunning architecture, rich culture and multicolours. With the opulent Oberoi hotels as your base and Indian Excursions as your tour operator, you can look forward to an award-winning combination for the ultimate luxury India tour experience. Readers of Travel+Leisure magazine voted the Oberoi hotels as their ‘Best in the World’ last year, and it’s easy to see why: these beautiful properties exude elegance and sophistication while remaining true to their surroundings with authentic Indian charm. Enjoy a view of the Taj Mahal from your private balcony at The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra; soak up the romance and feudal splendour of Rajasthan at The Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur. Combine this with our experienced guides, professional drivers and seamless arrangements, and we assure a delightful and unforgettable luxury India tour. Though this itinerary has been designed based on routes and hotels much-loved by our past guests, it’s completely flexible – every detail can be tweaked or completely transformed until we’ve tailor-made your ideal journey.
Our Luxury India Tour with Oberoi Hotels kicks off in the capital city of Delhi, where you’ll be met on arrival at the airport by a member of our team and chauffeured to The Oberoi, New Delhi. The swanky Oberoi New Delhi is perfect for those who’re seeking excellent service with a range of facilities and is one of the city’s best luxury hotels. Recently having re-opened after an extensive two-year renovation, the Oberoi boasts the most luxurious rooms in the capital and state-of-the-art clean air technology. Those who prefer history and colonial art will be happier at The Imperial, and for high-octane Indian glamour, The Leela Palace is perfect. Another comparable alternative is The Lodhi, which is well suited to those seeking understated and contemporary, Aman-style luxury. With all our tours being tailor-made, we’ll design every detail around you; from the destinations to the experiences, to the hotels.
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).
After breakfast, we’ll drive you to Jaipur, also known as Rajasthan’s ‘Pink City’. En-route, we recommend stopping in Fatehpur Sikri to explore this intriguing 15th-century Mughal capital – interestingly, it was abandoned after just 14 years. When arriving in Jaipur, a representative of Indian Excursions will greet you at The Oberoi Rajvilas – one of India’s most spectacular luxury hotels. 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. Ideal for those seeking a royal experience when in Rajasthan, The Oberoi Rajvilas is a highlight of any luxury India tour.
Today you’ll be exploring the best of the Pink City on a guided tour. Jaipur is, for many, quintessential India at its best: expect a cacophony of sights and sounds, from splendid forts and glittering palaces to snooty camels and brightly painted elephants, swirling moustaches and hot pink saris! Highlights you’ll take in include Amber Fort, the City Palace, Hawa Mahal (aka the Palace of Winds), the Jantar Mantar Observatory, and the Jal Mahal water palace.
Day six of your Luxury India Tour with Oberoi Hotels invites you to relax and enjoy The Oberoi Rajvilas, or explore further on your own – your chauffeur’s always available. You might like to take this opportunity to browse for interesting souvenirs in Jaipur’s famous markets and emporiums. (When it comes to shopping, Jaipur has something for everyone: from elegant textiles to kitschy wooden camels, even the most frugal visitor is likely to leave the Pink City with one or two pieces tucked in their case! For a souvenir with local fair, we recommend a piece of semi-precious jewellery or blue pottery).
Later, continue to Dera Amer to spend 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.
Today you’ll travel to the dreamy city of Udaipur by boarding a short flight (the journey is drivable, but we recommend flying to reduce travel time. If you’d rather limit internal flights and avoid long drives, may we propose 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 all the history, romance and feudal splendour of India. After having checked in to The Oberoi Udaivilas, the rest of the day is yours at leisure to enjoy your fabulous lake-side surroundings. Nestled on the edge of Lake Pichola, this luxury Oberoi hotel is something straight out of a fairy-tale. Regarded as one of the finest hotels on the planet, in 2015 it was voted as the ‘Best Hotel in the World’ by readers of Travel+Leisure magazine in the US.
