This morning is all yours! So do as you please, graze, laze, take it as you like. Once we're all up and ready, we start our last adventure of the trip. We’re walking through the jungle to the stunning golden sands of the beach on the other side. Soak up some Vitamin D, have a swim in the sea and enjoy the simple pleasures and beauty of the shore. What a life! Once you’re all sun-kissed, we’ll head back to the hotel for our farewell dinner. We hope you’ve still got those tissues, you're going to need them, trust us. It’s not a TruTravels trip without a big last night out, so we’re going big BIG. Delicious cuisine, colourful cocktails and drinks and well, the company couldn't be better.

WHERE WE STAY!

delhi

Welcome to Delhi, the capital of India and where our 13 day adventure begins! Our comfortable hotel is perfectly located for us to explore both sides of this exciting city. Wander the bustling narrow streets of the old town and admire the grand colonial buildings of the new.

 

Please note: Our accommodation is subject to change but it will always be amazing and have a great location for all of the action we have planned! If you want to confirm which exact hotel you'll be staying in on your trip shoot our sales team a message (info@trutravels.com)

udaipur

Udaipur is known as the most romantic city in India and our heritage hotel is right in the heart of it. We’ve got all the city sights right on our doorstep and the beautiful lake is just a 10 minute walk away.

 

pushkar

We’ll be staying on the edge of the holy town of Pushkar next. With easy reach to the town but close to the nature of the desert, our hotel is the perfect place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing! Admire the views from your cottage, go for a swim in the infinity pool and enjoy a traditional dinner at the cosy restaurant.

Pushkar is a sacred pilgrimage site which means you won’t find anywhere to buy alcohol in the city but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Relax at the hotel’s lounge with a cocktail in hand as you look up at the starlit sky. Sounds dreamy right?

 

jaipur

The pink city is calling! We’re staying in another charming heritage hotel that’s right in the centre of Jaipiur, but set back from the hustle and bustle of the main roads. Built around a pretty courtyard with a pool in the middle, this is the best place in the city for us to chill and reminisce about the trip so far!

Enjoy everything that comes with a heritage hotel including the fabulous service and home cooked meals plus everything that modern hotels offer like air-con and TVs in the rooms.

 

ranthambore

One of the highlights of the trip, we’re heading to Ranthambore next and our 4 star hotel is just just 10 minutes away from the National Park. With a pool, lush gardens, an authentic restaurant and a well stocked bar, it has everything we need to relax after an early morning safari!

All rooms are air-conditioned and Wi-Fi can be found throughout the hotel so you’ll be able to upload those incredible safari pics to make everyone at home jealous!

 

agra

Last and certainly not least, our hotel in Agra is a modern hotel with everything we need for our night here, and more! An infinity rooftop pool, two restaurants and our personal favourite, the Sky deck. Agra is home to the Taj Mahal and it’s only right that we stay in a hotel with views of this magnificent Wonder of the World. Head to the sky deck to take a look for yourself. This really is a pinch me moment!

udawalawe

Talk about being close to nature... in Udawalawe we stay somewhere a little different. We stay at a responsible luxury eco campsite! Definitely one of the most exciting ways to sleep, next to the Rakwana River, listening to the sounds of the animals! It's an amazing place to relax and spend the day too, watching the birds and wild animals is incredible!

Last but certainly not least, our hotel in Unawatuna is a modern and stylish place, which is just a 10-minute walk from the beach. It also has an outdoor pool so whether you're more of a beach goer or you prefer lounging by the pool (we know this can be the easier option if you've had a few too many the night before!), then we've got you covered! The hotel has a barbecue and sun terrace, so you can lounge and chill all day. There's Free WiFi so you can upload all your Insta pics and make everyone at home jealous of the amazing last 10 days you've had.

Each room is air-conditioned and has a flat-screen TV.

Reviews

Having now done almost all of the tours…
Having now done almost all of the tours in Asia, I have to say Surya was the best tour guide from the lot. His passion for his country and culture was unmatched! He took great pride in delivering us the trip of a lifetime whilst keeping us safe and environmentally conscious at all times!!! He went above and beyond anything I would expect ensuring we had everything we needed and more in every destination! Thank you for making this the most memorable trip and starting my passion for wanting to return to India! The memories made and activities/ places visited were brought to life through Surya and I cannot thank him enough for making this trip to India magical! If I could have him on every tour I would!

Amazing trip to India with Suri
Suri was a brilliant guide. He was very relaxed and attentive and made it feel like everything was possible. Any requests he handled and he always remembered specific things about each person, like what they liked to do and or what in particular they were interested in seeing. I forgot some medication and he helped me get some. Any time our group had an unusual request he tried to grant it for us. He was great at the markets and with the street hagglers, getting good deals for everyone. I was nervous about India but because we were with Suri I became much less nervous. He is quick to dispel any of the negative myths about India which made me appreciate the country more. He is very knowledgeable about India and you can tell he has a deep love for his country. It’s lovely to be shown around and told stories by someone who feels this way. He is great ambassador for India. Hope to do south India with Suri!
