DAY 1

You'll meet your fellow Beats Travelers in Delhi. With its diverse religious temples, architectural sites and bustling locals, Delhi is a real introduction to the magic of India. Then, you'll hit the road and head for the first stop on your Golden Beats tour: Agra and the famous Taj Mahal. There's much to be said for the off-the-beaten-track approach, but you cannot visit India without experiencing the Taj Mahal. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, you'll see why seven million people journey here each year to see this magnificent marble building, constructed by the Emperor for his wife.

DAY 2

Day

You'll rise bright and early to make your way to the Taj Mahal. Afterwards, you'll head to Jaipur. Known as the Pink City, Jaipur holds a spectacular history that dates back to the 17th century when it was ruled by the Royal family. The bustle on the streets, the passing camels, the amazing architecture—this colonial city is a must-see in India. After hitting the colorful bazaars, boutique markets and shops, you'll go out for a group dinner at a local Rajasthan restaurant.

DAY 3

Day

You'll start the day with an early visit to the magnificent Amber Fort. Located high on a hilltop on the outskirts of Jaipur, this palace has elephants roaming its grounds and magnificent views—it's definitely one of the most Instagrammable locations on the itinerary. In the late afternoon, you'll head to Chowki Dani, a village-themed restaurant that captures the heart and spirit of Jaipur.

DAY 4

It’s festival time, and you know what that means: three nights of partying in a 17th-century palace! Magnetic Fields will be sure to set the bar high for any future festivals you attend.

You'll wake up with your fellow Beats Travelers each morning, step out of your modern Bedouin tent and stare out into the vast desert beauty of India.

DAY 5

Day

You'll say goodbye to Alsisar and Magnetic Fields and head to Pushkar for a bit of R & R.

DAY 6
