• So you've always wondered about India as a destination but didn't know quite where to begin? Well, we have the answer right here - a perfect introduction to India with travel specialist TWX's Golden Triangle tour, with Chambal and Patan.
   
• Taking you from Delhi to Agra, via Chambal, then on to Jaipur in Rajasthan and Patan, before ending back in Delhi, staying throughout at wonderful 5-star properties. 

• The 9-day (8 night) itinerary will give you a fantastic taste of this remarkable country and its ancient culture. And, what is more, you'll be taken care of from start to finish with an expert team of travel professionals providing all meet and greet services, transfers and tours.
   
• The adventure begins when you are met at Delhi airport and driven through Lutyen's Delhi to your hotel. After a restful night, you'll be met by your driver/guide and taken on an extraordinary day of sight-seeing around New and Old Delhi. And we can promise every one of your senses will be overwhelmed by the end of the day. 

 

• The next morning, you will awake refreshed and ready to transfer to New Delhi railway station, where it's on to Chambal, via Etawah.
   
• After checking in at Chambal Safari Lodge, you will enjoy an enthralling River Safari with an experiened local guide. Crusing along the river, there will be chance to spot stunning reptile wildlife, as well as Dolphins splashing in and out of the water surrounding you. 

• Next up in Chambal; camel safari along the banks of the river - one of the most exotic ways to explore wildlife - and a village walking tour of Bateshwar Temple, taking in the ancient culture of rural India.
   
• Then, on day five, it's on to Agra, where you will marvel at the exquisite Agra Fort, and, of course, the breath-takingingly iconic Taj Mahal.
   
• After a night in Agra, you will then visit the Fatehpur Sikri - India's famed deserted red sandstone city - en route to Jaipur. 

 

• In Jaipur, famous for the Amber Fort and the City Palace, you will wander the overwhelming complex of palaces, gardens and courtyards and the City Museum filled with paintings, costumes, carpets and treasures (though an elephant will spare you the trouble of reaching the clifftop fortress!). Then inspired, go ahead and treat yourself to a handful of glittering jewels and shimmering lengths of the finest silk. 
   
• Your final destination is magnificent Patan, where you'll relax in the beautiful Patan Mahal. Located in the picturesque valley of the Aravali range, the 200-year-old Patan Mahal is an authentic palace... and is the most luxurious way to experience historic significance and the hospitality of one of India's oldest families, the family Mahal. 

 

• Of course, the trip of a lifetime wouldn't be complete without a bit of variety... And we're able to offer two stunning alternate hotels in Jaipur, available at a small surcharge (see the BBI bit below) and offering both contemporary luxury and a taste of traditional India:
   
  • Samode Haveli - Spend two nights at the unexpected and charming Samode Haveli; a self-contained, intimate, heritage hotel, hidden deep in the folds of the busy streets of old Jaipur and seeped in history, tradition and style. 

• Devi Ratn - Alternatively, you can spend two nights at the Devi Ratn; a contemporary celebration of textures, patterns, latticework and colour. The modern, mesmerising architechture is a world away from the cultural India, while first-class luxury and incredible views of the Rajasthan hills make this hotel a truly unique experience. 

• This is a trip that will render suitcases bulging, fill digital cameras and provide you with fantastic memories to last a lifetime... 

...So bid now for a remarkable journey.
