This elegant palace showcases classic Rajput architecture, complete with domes, minarets, and beautifully landscaped gardens where peacocks freely roam. [Learn more about Jai Mahal Palace.

After breakfast, set-out to explore Jaipur, famously known as the Pink City. A harmonious blend of historic charm and modern vibrancy, Jaipur was founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II, a visionary ruler, scholar, and astronomer. As India’s first planned city, it remains a marvel more than two centuries later. Visit the City Palace, still home to the royal family, and explore its museums filled with regal costumes, weaponry, and artwork.

DAY 3 – Jaipur – Ranthambore

Begin your day with tea, coffee, juices, and fresh rolls served in the hotel lobby prior to departure.

At dawn, join local devotees at the Govind Dev Ji Temple—also known as the Krishna Temple—for the sacred Aarti ceremony. Built in 1735 by Maharajah Sawai Pratap Singh II, the temple is adorned with elegant chandeliers and traditional Indian artwork. Its architectural marvel includes the world’s largest single-span flat roof, strategically positioned to offer the Maharajah a direct view from his palace.

Aarti, derived from Sanskrit meaning “homage” or “devotion,” is a ritual of offering light to the gods. Performed at designated times throughout the day and night, it is believed that the divine physically manifests during the ceremony. Lamps are circled clockwise before the deity, accompanied by the rhythmic chanting of hymns, the beat of drums, the sound of conch shells, and the ringing of temple bells. To conclude, the priest circles water around the idol to appease Agni, the fire god. The lamps, now imbued with divine presence, are used by devotees to collect the aromatic fumes and gently apply them to their faces.

After this spiritually enriching experience, return to the hotel for breakfast.

Later, drive to Amber Fort, stopping en route at the iconic Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds. This stunning example of Rajput architecture is crafted from red and pink sandstone, highlighted with white borders and motifs painted in quick lime.

The reserve is famed for its efforts to protect the majestic Royal Bengal Tiger and has inspired numerous acclaimed documentaries and books. Some tigers here have developed distinctive hunting techniques, making them subjects of international fascination.

Enjoy dinner and a peaceful overnight stay at the Taj Sawai Madhopur Lodge.

DAY 4 – Ranthambore

At dawn, enjoy coffee, tea, and bread rolls before setting off on a jeep or canter safari into Ranthambore National Park.

The park’s deep gorges offer shelter to elusive species such as leopards, tigers, and sloth bears. The forest also provides an ideal habitat for chital (spotted deer) and sambar, the largest deer species in Asia. The area is also home to an abundance of woodland, ground, and water birds, including the rare red jungle fowl.

Return to the lodge for breakfast and enjoy a leisurely morning.

In many rural parts of India, traditional crafts remain a vital source of social and economic empowerment—often serving as the primary means of employment for women. You may choose to visit the award-winning Dastkar Society, founded by six women to help artisans use their heritage skills to generate income and gain independence from commercial middlemen. The center hosts workshops for local communities, focusing on contemporary design, product development, and training in production systems. It features a wide selection of beautiful textiles and home goods, directly supporting over 370 craftspeople from villages surrounding Ranthambore.

In the late afternoon, embark on another thrilling game drive through the park.

Today, Agra is a treasure trove of World Heritage sites and traditional artisan workshops.

Enjoy lunch and spend the afternoon at leisure.

Later, visit the Taj Mahal, often described as the ivory gate through which all dreams pass.

DAY 3 - Agra

Early Morning Experience

Begin your day with coffee, tea, juices, and fresh bread rolls served in the hotel lobby before departing for the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Witness the first light of day casting a golden glow over the pearl-white monument, an unforgettable moment of serenity and beauty. Return to the hotel for breakfast.

Morning Excursion Options:

Fatehpur Sikri: Take a drive into the Indian countryside to explore Fatehpur Sikri, the red sandstone city that once served as the Mughal capital. Legend tells of Emperor Akbar’s pilgrimage to Sikri to seek the blessings of the saint Shaikh Salim Chishti. Upon the birth of his sons, Akbar built this magnificent city, blending Hindu and Islamic architectural styles. Though it thrived between 1571 and 1585, it was later abandoned—possibly due to water supply challenges. Today, it stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to Akbar’s vision and tolerance.

Agra Fort: Visit the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site credited to Emperor Akbar. Enclosed within its massive red sandstone walls are palaces, mosques, and audience halls, showcasing a rich fusion of Hindu and Islamic artistry. Return to the hotel for lunch.

Afternoon Options:

Agra Fort: (If not visited in the morning) Explore the majestic Agra Fort, a symbol of imperial power and architectural brilliance.

Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah: Discover the Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah, often referred to as the “Baby Taj.” This elegant mausoleum was the first to extensively use pietra dura—intricate marble inlay work that later defined the Taj Mahal. Though smaller in scale, its delicate craftsmanship and intimate charm are captivating.

Astrology Consultation: Meet Agra’s leading astrologer at the hotel. Guests may book a personal horoscope reading through the Oceania Cruises Hospitality Desk.

Shopping: Browse renowned shops such as Kohinoor, jewelers to the Mughal court and featured in National Geographic. Their private collection includes antique emerald necklaces, enamel jewelry, and exquisite embroidery. You may also visit marble inlay workshops, where artisans continue Agra’s rich decorative traditions.

Enjoy dinner and overnight stay at the Jaypee Palace Hotel or similar.

DAY 4 – Agra – Delhi

After breakfast, depart for Delhi by road. Restroom stops will be made en route, and light refreshments will be served onboard the coach.

Upon arrival in Delhi, enjoy lunch and check in to the elegant Roseate House.

Delhi, often referred to as the Empress of Indian Cities, boasts a rich and layered history. Though repeatedly invaded and left in ruins, its strategic location ensured its continual rebirth as the capital of successive empires. From the Rajputs and Afghans to the Turks, Mughals, and eventually the British, Delhi has been the seat of power for centuries. Its landscape is dotted with remnants of these dynasties—majestic ruins, tombs, and monuments that speak to the grandeur of civilizations past.

This afternoon, explore the wide boulevards and stately architecture of New Delhi. Highlights include India Gate, the nation’s war memorial and triumphal arch; Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of India’s President, blending Mughal and Western styles and formerly the home of the last British Viceroy, Lord Mountbatten; and Sansad Bhavan, India’s Parliament House, a circular structure symbolizing democratic governance.

Visit the Qutb Minar, India’s tallest minaret at 73 meters, built in 1199 by Qutb-ud-din Aybak, founder of the Slave Dynasty. Despite the name, these rulers were far from servile—many were former captives who rose to power through loyalty and ambition. The Qutb complex is a striking example of early Indo-Islamic architecture, with the minaret serving as both a tower of victory and a symbol of imperial might.

Continue to the Tomb of Humayun, commissioned by his senior wife, Haji Begum, in the 16th century. This early Mughal masterpiece features a harmonious blend of Persian and Indian design elements, including arched entrances, a grand dome, and formal gardens. Recently restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, it stands as India’s largest conservation project and a precursor to the Taj Mahal.

Dinner and overnight stay at the Roseate House or similar.

General Information

Electricity:

Nepal operates on a 230-volt, 50-hertz electrical system and uses two-pin cylindrical plugs and sockets. Power outages can occur, and scheduled cuts are announced for different areas. However, most hotels, guesthouses, and facilities are equipped with backup power systems to ensure uninterrupted service. If you plan to bring electronic devices, it is recommended to carry a universal travel adapter.

Expected Weather:

In October, daytime temperatures in Nepal typically range between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F), while nighttime temperatures drop to between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F), offering cool and comfortable weather ideal for travel and sightseeing.

What to Bring:

Nepal experiences a variety of climates, so it’s best to pack with both alpine and subtropical conditions in mind. Mornings can be cool, but the strong sunlight during the day can make it feel quite warm, making light cotton clothing ideal for daytime wear. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and it’s highly recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock, and a hat to stay protected from the sun.

Currency:

The official currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). While major credit cards are accepted at most establishments in Kathmandu and other popular tourist destinations, it is recommended to always carry some local currency for convenience, especially when visiting smaller shops, local markets, or remote areas.

Luggage:

Each guest is allowed to check in one piece of luggage weighing no more than 15kg (33 lbs.), along with one small carry-on bag with a maximum weight of 7kg (15 lbs.). Any baggage exceeding these limits will incur additional fees, which must be paid directly to the airline at the time of check-in.

•These documents must be sent to the Land Program Team via the Reservations Team at least one month prior to travel so that our local operator can begin the notification process with the airline(s).

•Failure to comply with the above regulations may result in a denial of this equipment at the airport for which the cruise line nor our local ground operator can be responsible for.

Please note: Some airlines may impose restrictions or specific requirements when transporting wheelchairs, mobility scooters, or other assistive devices. We recommend checking directly with your airline or the Cruise Line prior to departure to ensure compliance with their policies.
