The Oberoi Selection
Slowly, almost timidly, the sun rises in the sky. First it shines in red, pink and orange and then almost golden over the white dome of the Taj Mahal. It kisses the monument to love with its rays, which seems as if it has been swept away, not quite in your world. A monument carved in stone to the most beautiful of all feelings. The city palace in Udaipur also seems romantic and as if from another world. Especially at the end of the day, when the sun prepares to bathe the sky above the historic complex in the most colourful hues, until the reflection of the palace in Lake Pichola slowly disappears into the darkness of the night. These are moments of wonder and contemplation that only India can create. A country to fall in love with. A country of extreme contrasts that can't help but surprise you. We take you on an incredible luxury journey through the fascinating subcontinent.
Stroll through centuries-old forts, marvel at the world-famous Taj Mahal and let yourself be touched by the everyday aspects of Indian life. This personalised luxury trip through India combines all the beauty you have dreamed of in India. Treat yourself to your dream of India and reside like royalty in the most magnificent luxury hotels that this huge country has to offer.

"For me, India is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. Magnificent palaces, spiritual places and ancient culture almost everywhere. My personal highlight on this trip is probably the most beautiful and at the same time saddest declaration of love in the world: the Taj Mahal. Definitely an unforgettable moment at sunrise."
Flight to India - Delhi
You fly from Germany, Austria or Switzerland to New Delhi in India, where you arrive shortly after midnight. You will be met at the airport and taken by private transfer to the five-star luxury hotel The Oberoi.
2 nights in the 5★ Hotel The Oberoi New Delhi, Luxury Room incl. breakfast – Details about the hotel
Welcome to India. After a delicious American breakfast, you will set off on your first exploration tour of the Indian capital. The Mughal tour takes you to the old part of the city, which was once surrounded by walls. The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan moved his capital back from Agra to Delhi in 1648. With his special talent for architecture, the emperor not only created the seventh city, but also ensured Delhi's glorious renaissance. One of Shah Jahan's last architectural masterpieces was the Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in Asia. You can see it today.
From a traditional cycle rickshaw, you will explore the winding alleyways of the capital. Make fragrant stops at Chandni Chowk, once the most opulent perfume market in India, and the largest spice market in Asia. Sniff and enjoy the numerous exotic fragrances that surround you here. At the spice market, you have the unique opportunity to buy typical Indian spices for yourself and your loved ones at home - don't forget to bargain, that's part of life in India.
From the spice market, the journey takes you past the Red Fort, the former symbol of power of the Mughal emperor, to the Humayun Mausoleum. The tomb of the former Great Mughal Humayun is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This masterpiece of architecture is the first garden tomb on the Indian subcontinent.
Optional:
If you like, head to the Lodi Gardens next. There you can take a walk through the 4,000 square metre area and discover a number of prominent tombs and mausoleums.
The next fixed point on your itinerary today is the landmark Qutb Minar. From the approximately 70-metre-high victory and watchtower, your route continues to India's most extravagant neighbourhood, Lutyens' Delhi. In this majestic part of the city, you will see Delhi's most famous sights such as the official residence of the President of India, Rashtrapati Bhavan, and the First World War memorial, the triumphal arch India Gate.
Optional:
Another possible stop on today's city tour is the prominent Sikh temple Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. You can not only marvel at the impressive white and gold building, you can also become part of temple life yourself today. Around 10,000 people come to the temple every day to eat. The food from the huge open kitchen is distributed free of charge to the people who eat here together regardless of religion, caste or creed. Today you can become part of the so-called langar.
The day culminates in an extensive shopping tour at the city's Khan Market, where you will find numerous special shops by local designers.
In the evening, we recommend a visit to the Diva Restaurant. A temple of culinary delights that is second to none. The brilliant chef Ritu Dalmia always welcomes her guests with a friendly smile. Not only can you savour a fabulous array of curries and other dishes at her restaurant. In her home country, she delights gourmets from all over the world as one of the best flavour magicians with fusion cuisine with an Italian accent. We would be happy to arrange a table reservation for you.
Delhi - Agra
After breakfast and check-out, your driver will be waiting to take you to Agra by private transfer. You will stay in a uniquely marvellous location with a direct view of the Taj Mahal.
After checking into your luxury hotel, you will visit the Itimad ud Daulah later in the day. The Mughal mausoleum is often described as a jewellery box. The term "Baby Tāj" can also be read or heard from time to time, as the tomb is often regarded as a draft of the iconic Taj Mahal. On this day, you can see the impressive 17th century mausoleum for yourself.
The evening is at your disposal. Watch a dance performance in the hotel garden and then enjoy a Tali dinner in the restaurant.
2 nights in the 5★ The Oberoi Amarvilas, Premier Balcony Room incl. breakfast – Details about the hotel
Agra
Today the time has finally come: you will visit the most famous building in India and the most extravagant monument ever built for love: the Taj Mahal. Marvel at the white landmark with the dome gleaming in the sun and reflect on the meaning of love in the world. Grand Mogul Shah Jahan built the mausoleum for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The construction work is said to have taken 21 years.
Agra Fort is also on your programme today. Discover the huge fortress with all its Islamic and Hindu architectural elements and take time to empathise with the place where the Great Mughal saw his beloved for the first time and immediately fell in love with her.
Optional:
If you wish, you can also visit Mother Teresa's orphanage in Agra on this day. Around 48 children live here, as well as 150 adults who are unable to provide for themselves. The mission survives solely on donations.
The day is rounded off with a marvellous sunset in the Metab Bagh garden, from where you once again have a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal.
Agra - Jaipur
After breakfast and check-out, you will be driven to Jaipur in a private car - sightseeing tour included.
Another highlight on the way to Jaipur is the ghost town of Fatehpur Sikri. The magnificent Mughal city is still well preserved today and presents you with a remarkable combination of Hindu and Persian architecture.
Optional:
Visit one of the most impressive sights along the way: the step well in the village of Abhaneri - one of the deepest and longest step wells in India. Step wells were once used as places of retreat and for ablution before visiting a temple. The so-called baolis were also used as a pool and water source for dry times.
2 nights in the 5★ The Oberoi Rajvilas, Premier Balcony Room incl. breakfast – Details about the hotel
Jaipur
Today's city tour begins high up. On the back of an elephant. From this height you have a marvellous view of Amber Fort, the first major sight of the day. The fort is one of the most beautiful in India and is an exquisite example of Rajput architecture with its palaces, temples, mirrored halls and beautifully manicured gardens.
A second city tour is on the programme in the afternoon. On the way through the pink city, you will see the impressive city palace, which was built during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, as well as the Jantar Mantar observatory with its architectural astronomical instruments.

2 nights at the 5★ The Oberoi Udaivilas, Premier Room incl. breakfast – Details about the hotel
Udaipur
Well fortified from your tasty American breakfast at the hotel, you will start your tour of the Venice of the East on this day. Udaipur is one of the most romantic cities in the world.
The magnificent city palace is the first sight you are allowed to visit on this day. Stroll through the huge building on the hill on the lake shore and breathe in the centuries-old history of this complex of palaces, which was built in 1567 and is surrounded by a craggy wall.
Continue your stroll through the colourful Rajasthani bazaar and discover all kinds of handicrafts for sale, sacred temples in every nook and cranny, camels and rickshaws jostling alongside the people in the streets.
The next stop is a little quieter: Saheliyon-ki-Bari. Maharana Sangram Singh, better known as Rana Sanga, built this pretty garden for his sick daughter and the ladies of the court.
The day culminates in a romantic boat trip on Lake Pichola. On your private boat, you can sit back and watch the lights of the setting sun and the city palace reflected on the lake.

In a typical Mumbai black and yellow taxi, you continue to the Bombay High Court, a high court in Mumbai, the university and Churchgate in the south of Mumbai. In the heart of the fortress, you will visit a dabbawala, a typical Mumbai food vendor. In large Indian cities, these delivery services usually bring lunch from the homes of office workers to their workplaces on bicycles.
You will see another everyday sight in Mumbai at your next stop, Dhobi Ghat. Every morning, the city's masses of laundry are taken to this huge open-air washing system, where they are soaped, boiled and rinsed.
A less eventful but equally important visit is the next stop: the Hanging Gardens. Situated on the crest of Malabar Hill, the Hanging Gardens are a unique green oasis in the middle of a city with little nature. You will then see the Gandhi memorial museum Mani Bhavan, the Jain temple, the Crawford Market and the V.T. Station.
Art lovers can look forward to the next item on the programme: you will visit the former Prince of Wales Museum (today's name: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya) with its huge dome. Stroll through the impressive building and discover over 50,000 artefacts from art, archaeology and natural history.

German citizens require a visa to enter India. Holders of German passports can obtain an electronic tourist visa under certain conditions. In most cases, this authorises two entries for a stay of up to 60 days. The Indian embassy is responsible for issuing visas.
If travelling directly from Germany, there is generally no obligation to provide proof of vaccinations. The Federal Foreign Office recommends checking the standard vaccinations according to the current vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute when travelling and completing them if necessary. This also includes vaccinations for adults against tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and polio (infantile paralysis), as well as measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), influenza (flu) and pneumococci if necessary. Vaccinations against hepatitis A and typhoid are also recommended, as well as against hepatitis B, rabies, meningococcal meningitis ACWY and Japanese encephalitis for long-term stays or those at particular risk.
India's climate can be divided into three zones: the tropical south, the subtropical centre with parts of the north and the temperate to alpine mountain regions far up in the north. In northern India in particular, the temperature can vary greatly depending on the time of year. In summer, you can expect temperatures of up to 40 degrees, while in winter it can get cold and even snow heavily in the far north. The south is constantly hot all year round. In addition to the temperatures, the monsoon should also be taken into consideration when travelling. This causes heavy rainfall in many parts of the country from June to September.
