The story

Two great ages in one unhurried journey. Begin with the Mughals in Delhi and Agra, among gardens, marble and court kitchens. Then travel west into the Rajput kingdoms of Jaipur and Udaipur, where forts rise above the desert and palaces float on lakes. It is the journey most first-time visitors dream of, with doors that open only by invitation.
