Delhi & Agra

Plunge right in to Northern India's intoxicating mix of sublime beauty and riotous pandemonium. You'll ride a bicycle rickshaw into the heart of Old Delhi and experience the teeming streets, pungent spices, and glorious jumble of shops and temples. In Agra, you'll marvel at the one of the world's man-made wonders, the Taj Mahal, a sublimely beautiful testament of one man's love for his beloved wife and queen. Rudy consults with an astrologer, who foresees a long life, but warns him that his hotel room number is unlucky!

Rajasthan

The largest state in India beckons with its irresistible lure of brilliant colors, scorching days, ghostly twilights, and the fiery spirit of its people.. Rudy shows how to navigate the controlled chaos of Jaipur, the "Pink City," and visits its most famous landmark, the Palace of the Winds. Next on the itinerary is Pushkar, a Hindu pilgrimage center where intense spiritualism and crafts commercialism exist side by side. Rudy samples the spice of life in the remote and mysterious Jodhpur, where he examines textile and antique treasures, and visits a maharajah who transformed his palace into an exquisite hotel fit for a king.
