The Real Stops Along the Way
5 of your 7days — the full day-by-day plan follows below.
Day 2 · Delhi
Delhi — Old City & the Imperial Capital
A full day across two Delhis. The morning is Shahjahanabad on foot — the Jama Masjid, the spice market, a cycle-rickshaw through Chandni Chowk. The afternoon is the imperial city the British built: the long axis of Rajpath, India Gate, and the sandstone government buildings on Raisina Hill. Humayun's Tomb or the Qutub Minar fills the gap between them. It is a long day and worth it.
Day 3 · Delhi → Agra
Delhi to Agra — The Yamuna Expressway
The drive to Agra runs about 165 kilometres down the Yamuna Expressway and takes three to three and a half hours. It is flat, fast and unremarkable, which is the point — it replaced a full day on the old road. You reach Agra by early afternoon. The rest of the day is Agra Fort, in the long light, with the Taj Mahal visible downriver from its marble balconies — a first sight of it before tomorrow's sunrise.
Day 4 · Agra → Jaipur
Agra to Jaipur — Taj at Dawn, then Fatehpur Sikri
The Taj Mahal at sunrise first, then check out and drive for Jaipur. Forty kilometres out is Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar's abandoned capital, still complete because nothing was ever built over it — the palaces, the courts, the fifty-four-metre gateway. Further on, near Abhaneri, is Chand Baori, a ninth-century stepwell that drops thirteen storeys in a lattice of stairs. You reach Jaipur in the evening. The full drive is about five and a half hours plus stops.
Day 5 · Jaipur
Amber Fort & Jaipur's Old City Bazaars
A full day built around Amber Fort. The fort sits on a hill above Maota Lake, begun in 1592 by Raja Man Singh I. Inside, Sheesh Mahal glitters — thousands of small mirror tiles set into the walls and ceiling, still catching light after four centuries. A guide walks you through Ganesh Pol, the fort's most ornate gate, before the afternoon opens up. Back in the old city, Johari Bazaar sells jewellery the way it has for generations, and Bapu Bazaar deals in block-printed textiles. Both are better explored slowly, with someone who knows which shops to trust.
Day 6 · Jaipur → Ranthambore
Jaipur to Ranthambore — Into Tiger Country
A morning drive south from Jaipur to Ranthambore, about 180 kilometres and four hours through the town of Tonk. The country turns dry and open along the way. Ranthambore was once the private hunting ground of Jaipur's rulers. It became a Project Tiger reserve in 1974 and a national park in 1980. You check in by early afternoon. An optional evening game drive can be added on the arrival day, or the evening kept free to settle in.

Delhi
Arrival in Delhi — Mughal Landmarks
A private airport pickup in Delhi, then a first afternoon among the city's Mughal landmarks. Humayun's Tomb, finished in 1570, was the first great garden tomb built in India. Its design was later echoed in the Taj Mahal. Qutub Minar rises more than 70 metres and dates from the 12th century. It is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Old Delhi adds the Red Fort and the broad steps of the Jama Masjid. The evening is free before the drive to Rajasthan.
