Itinerary

Day 1: Delhi - Bharatpur

Stop At: Deeg Palace, Deeg India
After a pick-up from your Delhi city hotel you will go on a private tour of Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary. It will take approximately 4 hours by air-conditioned chauffeur driven cab, and en-route you may enjoy the scenic beauty of the landscaping on both side of the road. On arrival, check in at your hotel, have free time to rest and then later have lunch (own expense).

In the afternoon, drive to Deeg Palace – a luxurious summer resort which is built in the 18th century by Raja Suraj Mal, the former king of Bharatpur. The palaces form a quadrangle with a garden and walkways at its center. There are decorative flowerbeds, shrubs, trees and numerous fountains which cool the place considerably during summer. Two huge water tanks, Gopal Sagar and Rup Sagar, on either side also help to bring down the temperature.

In festivals such as Holi, colours are added to the water and small cloth pouches with different organic colors are manually inserted into the holes in the reservoir wall. When the water flows out through the intricate network of pipelines, the fountains begin spouting colored water. The spray of water from the fountains and the jets create a monsoon-like ambiance which is enhanced further by a unique technique that produces thunder-like sound all around the pavilion. Hundreds of metal balls placed strategically on the channel surrounding the roof are set rolling with the water pressure which results in a thunderous effect.

After spending 2 to 3 hours there you will return to your hotel in the evening and enjoy the rest of the night at your leisure. You may dinner at the hotel (own expense).
