Upon arrival we will check into our home for the next 5 nights, the lovely Samode Palace. This 475 year old palace is like stepping into a dream. You will appreciate the beautiful architecture, classic Indian motif, beautiful grounds, and 5 star luxury rooms with elegant furnishings, 4 poster beds, soft linens, immaculate bathrooms, and all comforts you need for a magical retreat experience.
While at Samode Palace you can indulge in all included classes, events, excursions and included adventures. If rest and relaxation suit you better, you are free to stay by the pool, enjoy a day at the spa, or any other activity that speaks to your soul.

Upon arrival we will check into the recently renovated Trident Agra Hotel. Built in local red stone, with beautiful appointed gardens, a pool, and 5 star accommodations. You may enjoy a restful evening with a wonderful dinner, gentle yoga, and meditation before settling into sleep to prepare for the next day’s adventure.
Morning yoga, meditation and breakfast will be provided at the hotel. We will then set out on a tour of the historical city of Agra, which dates back to the second century.
Finally, embarking on a very special tour of the iconic Taj Mahal. A masterpiece of construction, featuring ivory white marble, built over 22 years, starting in 1632. You will feel the magnificent splendor of “The Taj” as you walk along the reflecting pool, take in the semi precious stones that bejewel the mausoleum and visit the symmetrical Persian garden. Bask in the grandeur of it all with stunning photo opportunities and a chance to reach back in time to feel the love of a king for his queen.
On September 30th we will say goodbye to Agra with yoga, meditation and breakfast at The Trident and head back to The Maidens Hotel in Delhi, via air conditioned coach.
Once in Delhi, enjoy a short excursion of sightseeing or shopping before a last evening dinner and relaxing meditation.
