Live like royalty for a week.
Seeing the Taj Mahal in person is one of those moments that stays with you forever. At sunrise the white marble glows pink and gold, and it’s even more beautiful than the photos.
From there, the Golden Triangle and Rajasthan open up a world of maharajas’ palaces, desert forts and bustling bazaars. In Jaipur, the Pink City, ride up to Amber Fort and shop for jewels and textiles. In Udaipur, the City of Lakes, stay in a palace hotel that seems to float on the water.
