This itinerary is designed for travellers who prefer depth over distance and atmosphere over speed. By adding the heritage village of Samode to the classic Golden Triangle route, the journey shifts focus toward palace living, rural traditions, and relaxed cultural immersion.
The route balances historic capitals with a countryside retreat, allowing time to appreciate architecture, daily life, and regional character. Carefully paced days, luxury accommodations, and thoughtful transitions make this tour ideal for travellers seeking elegance, comfort, and meaningful travel moments.
On arrival in Delhi, you are received by your private chauffeur and transferred to a luxury hotel. The day is kept unhurried, allowing time to settle in and adjust after the journey. Later in the evening, the itinerary introduces Old Delhi through a guided rickshaw ride in Chandni Chowk, passing historic lanes, traditional shops, and centuries-old marketplaces.
The slow movement through the area provides insight into daily life and architectural contrasts. The sights, sounds, and rhythm of Old Delhi offer a layered introduction to the city before returning comfortably to your hotel for the night.
After breakfast, you depart Delhi by private car toward Samode, passing through changing landscapes as the city gradually gives way to Rajasthan’s rural surroundings. The drive is planned with comfort in mind, offering a smooth transition from urban energy to a quieter setting.
On arrival, you check in to the historic Samode Palace, set against the Aravalli hills. Later in the day, a camel cart ride through the local village introduces traditional homes, crafts, and daily routines. The evening is spent at leisure within the palace, surrounded by heritage architecture and calm surroundings.
The morning begins at a relaxed pace, allowing time to enjoy the palace setting before departing Samode for Jaipur. The short drive leads into Rajasthan’s capital, where history and urban life intersect.
