STEP ONE...The adventure begins after stepping refreshed from a Jet Airways flight in to the bustling Indian capital of Delhi. From the teeming bazaars of Old Delhi to the boutiques and cafes of New Delhi, from mosques to forts and Mughal halls, boulevards and monuments to contemporary malls, this sprawling metropolis has it all. Located minutes away from the business, commercial and shopping districts, The Oberoi, New Delhi reflects the spirit of the city, with its blend of traditional and contemporary architecture and décor. The hotel is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and overlooks the soothing greens of the 18-hole Delhi Golf Club and the historic 16th century tomb of Emperor Humayun.
STEP TWO...Next it's a short hop on board JetKonnect (Jet Airways' low fare domestic carrier) to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, with its striking architecture, palaces, forts and monuments. Set out by elephant back to explore Amber Fort, browse the bazaars then retreat to The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur. Recreating the beauty of princely Rajasthan in a fort-like setting, this idyllic property is only 15 minutes from the centre of Jaipur and is an oasis of calm spread across 32 acres of lush gardens, trees and cascading fountains. Indulge in holistic Ayurvedic and Western therapies at The Oberoi Spa, housed in a 280-year-old Rajasthani Haveli (mansion).
STEP THREE...The final prong of the triangle before flying home from Delhi, is Agra. Located just 600 metres from India's most iconic monument, every bedroom and public space at The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra offers unrivalled views of the Taj Mahal. Guests can watch the world's greatest monument to love, without the crowds as it changes in the light from the pink rays of dawn to glowing white in the moonlight. Spread over nine acres of elaborate gardens, terraced lawns, fountains, reflection pools and pavilions, the classical design of the luxury hotel is a tribute to the legacy of Moorish and Mughal architecture. The property serves as an ideal base from which to explore Agra Fort and the Fatehpur Sikri, former capital of the Mughal Empire.
