Dive head first into the colour and chaos of India. Soak up the sights, sounds and smells of the crowded bazaars and scented spice markets of Old Delhi.

Possibly one of the greatest follies ever built, Fatehpur Sikri now lies abandoned. Learn the secrets to old family recipes and spend the night in a beautiful converted haveli.

Colourful and vibrant Jaipur is home to Hawa Mahal and the Amber Fort. Perhaps head to the Art Deco cinema to experience the razzamatazz of a Bollywood blockbuster.

Days 7-8 Bijaipur

Explore rural India in style from a base at the opulent Castle Bijaipur. Observe a traditional feast being prepared in the royal kitchen then dine by the pool, serenaded by local performers.

Days 9-10 Udaipur

Learn the secrets to buying fresh produce at a market then spend a day perfecting Rajasthani delicacies at a renowned cooking school. Explore the lavish City Palace, one of India's largest royal palaces. A breathtaking sunset over Lake Pichola is the perfect finale to the day.

Days 11-12 Mumbai

Take a fascinating heritage walk through Ahmedabad then fly to Mumbai. Explore the Dhobi Ghats, see the Gateway of India and stroll among courting couples on Chowpatty Beach.

Days 13-15 Goa
