India bustles, throbs, and hums with activity - colors, sounds, and smells provide a feast for the senses and celebrate the joyful extravagance of life itself. What many don't realize, however, is that there is also a quieter side to India, an oasis of calm that can provide spiritual and physical reinvigoration. This tour begins with two nights in Delhi at the Imperial Hotel. After settling in, enjoy a full tour of the city, including landmarks such as the Memorial of Mahatma Gandhi, the Bahai Temple, the Red Fort and Jami Masjid, the largest mosque in India. From Delhi, journey north to the Ananda, a luxurious property nestled on broad sweeping lawns and gardens against a backdrop of snowy Himalayan peaks. At Ananda, you will be treated to a unique spa program that includes an Ayurvedic and Wellness Consultation, Hydrotherapy Ritual, customized Yoga session, and Ayurvedic Mind and Body Therapy. Return to Delhi for one night before continuing on to Agra and your accommodation at the Amarvilas; while here, explore the magnificent Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, among other sights. After Agra, travel to Jaipur, the famed "Pink City" of India. Your base in Jaipur is the Rajvilas, widely considered one of India's most luxurious properties. Surrounded by fountains and pools on 30 acres of gardens, the Rajvilas is a perfectly calm space in which to enjoy superb spa facilities. Between touring outings, enjoy the Oberoi Massage, a signature treatment that uses palms and fingertips to apply pressure with continuous strokes that flow rhythmically to stimulate blood circulation, iron out knots, and induce a state of total relaxation. The trip concludes with three nights at the Udaivilas in Udaipur, one of Rajasthan's loveliest cities, where the Magic of Mewar spa experience awaits you. Tour Udaipur, take a boat ride on Lake Pichola, and take a full day trip to see the magnificent Jain Temples of Ranakhpur, an monument to human ingenuity and artistic achievement that provide an inspirational conclusion to this tour.
