Udaipur's markets by rickshaw

A rickshaw ride to explore Udaipur's colorful local markets

In Udaipur, an auto-rickshaw ride around the city's bustling spice and vegetable markets offers insights into everyday life in India's "City of Lakes." As you roam the markets, you'll see local women in brightly colored saris sitting among the stalls, surrounded by baskets brimming with their fresh produce, and a colorful array of curries and spices.

Cruise the palm-lined Kerala canals

A quiet window into daily life shaped by water, trade, and tradition...

Southern India's Kerala region is often called the "Venice of the East" for its network of palm-lined canals winding through small coastal villages. A leisurely cruise along these waterways offers a close look at life shaped by water and trade as you travel toward Kumarakom on the shores of Lake Vembanad.

The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra

A stone's throw from the Taj Mahal

The readers of Condé Nast Traveler named The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra to the prestigious Gold List, and the readers of Travel + Leisure rank it as one of the world's best hotels. Situated just 600 meters from the iconic Taj Mahal, each of its guest rooms affords uninterrupted views of this ancient monument to love, while elements of the layout and design pay homage to its Mughal splendor; it is surrounded by terraced lawns, fountains, reflecting pools and pavilions with rich interiors that are reminiscent of the days of princes and emperors.

On this trip the contrast between the northern desert cities and the lush tropical settings of the south is amazing.
