Day 1–2: Delhi – Mughal Majesty Meets Modern Grace

The capital city of Delhi presents a meeting point of ancient traditions with contemporary developments. People should see Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar which are UNESCO sites yet also discover Hauz Khas Village and art cafes in Mehrauli. A curated gallery walk reveals contemporary Indian artists. Wind down with a private Mughlai dinner in a restored haveli with a Sufi performance.

Day 3–4: Varanasi – The Soul of India

No cultural journey is complete without Varanasi. From sunrise boat rides to temple bells echoing through the ghats, this part of the journey is spiritual. Visit silk weaving colonies, participate in a temple flower offering, and enjoy a storytelling session on the Ganges. The ancient feels immediate here.

Day 5–6: Orchha & Khajuraho – Forgotten Temples and Erotic Stone Art

Move to Madhya Pradesh’s architectural jewels. Orchha’s places are sleepy, stunning secrets. Khajuraho’s temples, though famous, surprise with detail. You’ll have a local art historian as your guide to decode symbolism in sculptures—an experience many miss.

Day 7–8: Jaipur – Where Palaces Are Still Alive

Jaipur combines grandeur with artisan energy. Visit Amer Fort and Jantar Mantar in the morning, then spend your afternoon with block printers and blue pottery artists. Visit a royal family’s private residence for a meal. It’s not about seeing Jaipur—it’s about belonging.

Day 9–10: Udaipur – Romance in Marble and Water

In Udaipur, your hotel might be a lakeside palace. Visit miniatures painters in their ateliers, take cooking lessons with a Rajput chef, and enjoy quiet moments on a boat lit by floating candles. History feels poetic here.

Day 11–12: Madurai & Chettinad – Temple Towns and Southern Opulence

South India opens with Madurai’s Meenakshi Temple—a living sculpture. Then visit Chettinad, where grandeur meets community. Enjoy heirloom meals in ancient mansions and tile-making demonstrations.

Day 13–14: Thanjavur & Pondicherry – Legacy and Leisure

Visit bronze-casting studios where idols come to life through centuries-old techniques. End in Pondicherry’s French Quarter, with a café trail and restful walks on the beach promenade.

This itinerary is not just about places—it’s a pilgrimage through India’s artistic and emotional landscapes.

Which Art & Heritage Sites Should You Expect to See?

Each location is chosen for its contribution to India's cultural legacy. These include:

“I would highly recommend this company!”

“I came in a group of 5 young women and we were a little nervous about coming to India. TRAVELOSEI made us feel very safe here. They picked us up from our hotel and even though we had a plan of things we wanted to visit, they are very flexible. We made several detours each day and they took us wherever we wanted to go. The drivers were excellent and the tour guides were very knowledgable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them, we will absolutely use them when we come back!”

“We had a terrific time!”

“I went to India with a few coworkers for a business trip and we booked a Taj Mahal tour on our 24 hr layover in Delhi. Travelosei took care of everything - they organized the car transport (including a last minute swap when we had to switch hotels) and planned a lovely tour of Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and a few artisans. At every stop, we skipped the lines and our guide Talib knew all the best places to get great views and take nice pictures of us. He also shared a lot of history as we walked through the sites. We had a terrific time and cannot recommend TRAVELOSEI enough.”

“Thank you so much TRAVELOSEI”

“The amount of knowledge and details in his stories as well as history. He was also wonderful at guiding us through the local culture how to act where how and what not to. Javed was very patient and very kind to my many questions about the smallest things. Such a good experience with TRAVELOSEI in general. This was our second trip to Agra but the first time with them. And what a pleasure. When I come back or I know anyone going to Agra I will diffidently suggest them to have Javed to guide them around if he has time. Thank you so much TRAVELOSEI”
