Itinéraire du groupe
Walk out of arrivals at Delhi's airport and look for the Soca Islands sign: a representative will be waiting just past the exit to take you to your hotel. We'll help you through check-in, and then the evening is yours to rest up after the flight.
Today moves from the tangle of Old Delhi to the wide boulevards of the capital. After breakfast you'll see the Red Fort and Jama Masjid, one of India's largest mosques, then climb into a cycle rickshaw to weave through Chandni Chowk. A guided walk takes you into Khari Baoli, billed as Asia's biggest spice market, before a stop at Raj Ghat, Mahatma Gandhi's memorial.
Next the scene changes completely as you drive along Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath), past Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament and the Secretariat, pausing for photos at India Gate. The day closes at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, the Sikh temple whose community kitchen serves free meals to thousands of visitors, before you head back to the hotel.
After breakfast the group drives south to Agra. The main stop today is Agra Fort, a walled red sandstone citadel of palaces, audience halls and gardens from which the Mughal emperors once ruled. Then check in and take it easy; tomorrow starts early.
Set your alarm: you'll reach the Taj Mahal early, before the heat and crowds build. Shah Jahan raised it as a tomb for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, and it is every bit as striking in person as in photos.
Afterward you're back on the road west to Jaipur, Rajasthan's capital, famous for its pink-washed streets, forts and palaces. You'll check in here for two nights.
Please note: the Taj Mahal closes every Friday.
Begin at Amber Fort, where Rajput and Mughal styles meet in courtyards, mirrored halls and terraced gardens. An elephant ride up to the gates is offered as an option.
Later, pause for photos at Hawa Mahal, the honeycomb-fronted Palace of Winds, and at Jal Mahal, which appears to float on Man Sagar Lake. Finish at the City Palace, still home to Jaipur's royal family, before returning to the hotel.
One last breakfast in Jaipur, then the drive back to Delhi as the Rajasthan countryside rolls past the window. Once you've checked into your hotel, the rest of the day is free: shop, rest, or head out for one more look at the city.
Enjoy breakfast, pack up, and your transfer will take you to the airport for your flight home. Thanks for traveling with Soca Islands; we hope India stays with you for a long time.

FAQ du voyage
Fly into and out of Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL).
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.
While we’re not medical professionals, we want to help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure. Here are some tips:
- Consult with a healthcare professional: Schedule an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure to get any necessary vaccines or medications.
- Up-to-date medical advice:
- US residents: Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
- UK residents: Visit the NHS Fit For Travel website.
- Australian residents: Refer to the Smart Traveler Health website.
3. Government travel advice:
- US residents: Consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.

- Australian residents: Visit the Smart Traveler website.
4. Medication tips: If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last the entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays. Carry a copy of your prescription in case you need to visit a clinic abroad.
We hope this helps you prepare for a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
