• Travel Description

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Days 1–2Departure & Delhi

Leaving home shifts you into the start of the journey. Delhi hits fast with traffic, voices, chai, and history. Mughal sites, spice-filled alleys, and colonial avenues create a chaotic mix that slowly becomes familiar. With patience, the noise and heat turn into rhythm, revealing a city that rewards curiosity and stays unforgettable.

Day 1: Departure
Leaving home shifts everything from planning to reality. Bags packed, nerves alive, and the sense that the journey has finally started.

Day 2: First Impact of Delhi ( Optional excursions )
Delhi hits fast—traffic weaving, vendors shouting, chai boiling, and history sitting right beside chaos. The day moves through Mughal-era tombs, crowded bazaars, and spice-filled lanes that refuse to slow down.
In the middle of it all, a 1-hour Old Delhi walk brings a sharper, more intimate view of the city. Narrow lanes, crumbling havelis, cycle rickshaws brushing past, and the constant hum of daily life make this hour feel raw and real. You don’t just see Old Delhi—you feel it. By the end of the day, the city feels loud, layered, and impossible to fully process in one go.

Days 3–4Nawalgarh

Driving to Shekhawati shifts you from city noise to quiet fields. Painted havelis appear like a forgotten art museum, their fading murals still striking. Courtyards feel alive with history, while locals move at an easy pace. No crowds, no rush—just character, stories, and the sense of discovering something beautiful the world overlooked.

Day 3: Drive to Nawalgarh
As you drive out, the noise fades and fields replace concrete. The shift feels refreshing, giving you space before Shekhawati’s history unfolds.

Day 4: First Encounter with Shekhawati (Optional excursion )
Arriving feels like opening a forgotten book. Havelis with fading frescoes line quiet streets, each mural telling stories of gods, merchants, and distant journeys. A Heritage Walk through the old lanes lets you step inside courtyards, admire hand-painted walls, and understand why this region became an open-air art gallery.

Day 5–6Khejarla

Traveling to Khejarla brings you into rural Rajasthan, where an old fort rises above village life. Goats, farmers, and quiet routines set a slower rhythm. The fort’s history adds depth, and conversations with locals matter more than sights. Evenings are peaceful, reminding you that beauty often lives far from famous destinations.

Day 5: Leaving Shekhawati
You move deeper into rural Rajasthan, leaving behind painted havelis for open fields and long, quiet roads. The landscape stretches wide, and the pace naturally slows.

Day 6: Arrival in Khejarla
Free Day in Khejarla. A slow day shaped by village life. Take a village walk past dusty lanes, grazing goats, and quiet homes, then end the day at the sunset point, watching the fort fade into warm evening light. Simple, calm, and unhurried.

Day 7Pushkar

Pushkar is a small, soulful town where spirituality and everyday life blend effortlessly. Centered around the sacred lake, it moves at a calm pace with temples, ghats, quiet cafés, and evening prayers shaping the rhythm. Simple, reflective, and deeply rooted in tradition, Pushkar feels less like a destination and more like a pause.

Day 7: Pushkar
Arrive in Pushkar and settle into the town’s calm, spiritual rhythm. Walk around the ghats, visit the temples, and spend time near the lake where daily life moves at its own pace. The evening is best kept slow—street lights, soft prayers, and the town winding down naturally. Stay overnight in Pushkar.

Days 8Pachewar Fort

Traveling to Pachewar Fort brings you to a quieter, more intimate stop. Its worn staircases and peaceful courtyards hint at centuries of rituals and daily life. With no crowds or markets, the calm feels grounding. Simple meals and slow moments make the experience personal, letting you connect with history rather than rush through it.

Day 8: Life Inside Pachewar Fort
The fort feels intimate, almost familiar. Courtyards echo old ceremonies, and staircases worn smooth by generations hint at lives once lived here. Step outside for a quiet village walk, where rural life moves without hurry. As evening settles in, enjoy a traditional dance at Pachewar, simple and grounded, reflecting the region’s culture. There are no crowds or markets—just slow rhythms, comforting meals, and the feeling of sitting still with history as it continues quietly around you.

Days 9–11 Jaipur

Arriving from Pachewar, Jaipur hits with color and movement. Pink streets, busy markets, and grand landmarks set the tone. Amber Fort, City Palace, and Hawa Mahal showcase its royal heart, while artisans keep its creativity alive. Over three days, the city’s bold, artistic, and welcoming personality becomes familiar and easy to connect with.

Day 9: First Look at the Pink City (Optional excursion)
Amber Fort rises from the hills like a memory from another century. Its courtyards, gates, and views set the tone for Jaipur’s royal side. Back in the city, Hawa Mahal stands like sandstone lacework, and the City Palace shows off its mix of art, history, and royalty.

Day 10: Half-Day City Tour and Orientation Walk
The day begins with a half-day city tour, covering Jaipur’s key landmarks—Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort, and the Jal Mahal. Together, they offer a clear picture of the city’s architecture and planning.
Later, an orientation walk through the old city helps you understand Jaipur beyond monuments—its streets, layout, daily life, and rhythm—setting context for everything that follows.

Day 11: Optional Excursion and Cultural Experiences
The day stays flexible with an optional excursion, letting you explore at your own pace. Later, take part in a Bollywood dance session, lighthearted and energetic, followed by a hands-on cooking class where you learn local flavors and techniques. The evening ends with a home-style dinner, turning food, music, and shared moments into a relaxed and memorable close to the day.

Days 12–13Agra

The drive to Agra leads to the Taj Mahal, glowing quietly at sunrise and feeling almost unreal. Agra Fort adds views of the river and distant domes. The city breathes Mughal history through symmetry, cuisine, and craftsmanship. Watching marble artisans and exploring its monuments shows how patience and skill create lasting beauty.

Day 12: Journey to Agra with Historic Stops
On the way to Agra, stop at the Galta Ji, where temples sit quietly between rocky hills and natural springs. The next pause is at the Abhaneri Stepwell (Chand Baori), an extraordinary structure of precise geometry and deep symmetry that feels both ancient and surreal.
Arrive in Agra by evening, ready for the early start the next day.

Day 13: Forts, Food, and Mughal Stories
Agra Fort opens another chapter—massive walls, river views, and arches framing distant glimpses of the Taj. Between sightseeing, you taste local dishes, explore small workshops, and notice how Mughal history still shapes the city. Agra isn’t just beautiful—it’s a reminder of what patience, craft, and devotion can build.

Days 14–15Orchha

Traveling to Orchha brings a slower rhythm. Temples, palaces, and cenotaphs rise quietly along the Betwa River. Reflections, fading murals, and evening aarti create calm moments. Nothing feels rushed or staged; the town simply lives at its own pace. Orchha offers honesty, stillness, and a grounding pause in the journey.

Day 14: Gwalior Fort and Drive to Orchha
Begin the day with a visit to Gwalior Fort, rising dramatically above the city with its palaces, temples, and sweeping views. The scale and strength of the fort offer a powerful contrast to the quieter days ahead. After the visit, continue the drive to Orchha, where the pace softens, and history feels more intimate.

Day 15: Evening Orientation Walk and River Ceremony
The day slows down with an evening orientation walk, helping you get familiar with the town’s quiet streets and riverside paths. As the sun sets, the light softens over the water, setting the mood for a small river ceremony—simple, peaceful, and deeply grounding. It’s an easy end to the day, focused more on feeling the place than doing too much.

Days 16–17Khajuraho

Khajuraho greets you with temples carved in extraordinary detail. Each panel reflects stories of devotion, philosophy, daily life, and human emotion. Walking among them feels like reading history in stone. Some carvings are bold, others gentle, all deliberate. Time slips by as you explore, leaving you quietly impressed by ancient creativity and skill.

Day 16: Free Day in Khajuraho – Stories Carved in Stone
Arrive in Khajuraho and keep the day open. With no fixed schedule, you explore the temples at your own pace, noticing the precision of the carvings and the stories shaped into stone. Walk, pause, and return to details that catch your eye. The freedom to move slowly makes the experience richer—quiet, thoughtful, and unhurried, leaving Khajuraho to reveal itself naturally.

Day 17: Khajuraho – Optional Excursions
Spend another day in Khajuraho with the option to choose activities based on interest. You may revisit the temples for a deeper look, explore nearby villages, enjoy a relaxed cultural walk, or simply take time to rest and absorb the atmosphere. This flexible day allows you to experience Khajuraho beyond sightseeing, at a pace that suits you best.

Days 18–20Varanasi

Reaching Varanasi brings intensity and deep spirituality. The ghats show life and death side by side, from prayers to cremations. Sunrise on the Ganges feels calm and golden. Narrow lanes, rituals, and Sarnath add layers of history and peace. Varanasi lingers within you, and the night train leaves you thoughtful and changed.

Day 18: Long Drive to Varanasi
A long day on the road brings you to one of the world’s oldest living cities. The journey itself is slow and demanding, setting the tone for what lies ahead. By the time you arrive, the atmosphere already feels different—older, heavier, and deeply alive. Evening is best kept light, allowing the city to unfold gradually.

Day 19: Morning on the Ghats and Spiritual Walk
The day begins early with a morning tour and boat ride on the Ganges, where the river glows softly as prayers, bells, and chants rise from the ghats. Life and faith move together—ritual bathing, quiet offerings, and cremation fires existing side by side.
After the boat ride, a walk along the ghats and nearby lanes brings you closer to the spiritual rhythm of the city. Temples appear without warning, priests chant, locals go about their day, and it becomes impossible to stay detached. Varanasi doesn’t explain itself—it pulls you in.

Day 20: Departure and Night Train
Check out from the hotel and keep the day flexible with an optional excursion, based on interest and energy. Use the time to revisit a ghat, walk a little more, or simply sit and observe. As night falls, board the night train, carrying the weight of the journey with you—tired, reflective, and quietly full.

Days 21–22Delhi to Home: Farewell

Day 21: Back to Delhi (Optional excursion)
Delhi feels different now—familiar, almost softer. The skyline, the noise, the movement all make more sense after everything you’ve seen. You rest, revisit a favourite corner, or simply sit with your thoughts. It’s the first real pause after weeks of shifting landscapes, cultures, and emotions. Here your trip end's and you will be dropped at airport.

Day 22: Back to Home
The trip ends, but its impact doesn’t. You leave with memories of villages and cities, temples and forts, quiet forests and crowded ghats. What started as places on a map has turned into moments you’ll carry long after the bags are unpacked.

On the road with Namaste India24:

During our trips, there's no rigid itinerary. Travel days are fixed, of course, but the program is developed locally in consultation with the group and the tour leader. The tour leader offers a program most days, and several excursions are included, but you're certainly not obligated to participate. Those who prefer to explore independently are free to do so. After all, that's the best way to get to know a country. The maximum group size for this trip is 5-15 people.

Frequently Asked Questions

Useful information to help you prepare for your India & Nepal journey with confidence.

1Is this itinerary fast-paced or slow-paced?
It’s balanced. Some days involve travel between destinations, but most locations give you enough time to explore without rushing. Big cities get multiple days, while quieter heritage stops are intentionally slower to help you experience the culture rather than just pass through it.
2What type of accommodation is planned during the trip?
Expect a mix of heritage hotels, forts, boutique stays, and comfortable standard hotels in major cities. In places like Khejarla, Pachewar, and Orchha, the experience is more historic and atmospheric rather than ultra-modern luxury.
3How much walking is involved?
Moderate walking is required, especially in historical sites, old city lanes, and temple complexes. Comfortable shoes are important. Most walks are slow and scenic rather than physically demanding.
4What’s the best time of year for this trip?
October to March is ideal. The weather stays pleasant across most destinations, especially Rajasthan and Varanasi. Summer months can be extremely hot, and monsoon may affect travel schedules.
5Will I need a guide at each location?
Not everywhere, but hiring local guides at major sites like the Taj Mahal, Jaipur’s palaces, Khajuraho, and Varanasi can significantly enrich the experience. For heritage forts and villages, sometimes just walking and observing is enough.
