    GLOSSARY

    • BB = Bed and Breakfast

    • FB= Bed, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Game Safaris

    Please Note: The new safari regulation being implemented by the park authorities has made it mandatory for all

    registered safari vehicles of the park, whether privately owned or belonging to the lodges, be allocated to visitors

    on a rostered basis. Thus, vehicles from our lodge cannot be any longer guaranteed for safaris but a vehicle from

    the day’s roster from the common pool for vehicles will be used for the activity. This change is being challenged

    in the courts but as of yet there is no conclusion on the lawsuit yet.

    ENTRY/VISA REQUIREMENTS

    • As for all international travel, the visitor to India is required to be in possession of a valid passport and

    visa. Travellers from all countries need a visa. Enquire about this from the Indian diplomatic

    Representatives abroad OR apply online at https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/visa/tvoa.html

    • Boarding or immigration can be denied if there is a mismatch of passport details mentioned on the visa

    letter issued by the Government of India and the passport presented at these checks.

    • The passport has to be valid for a minimum of 6 months AFTER the departure date from India and at

    least 2 (two) clear pages available in the passport for immigration stamping.

    • SATELLITE PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN INDIA

    “The use of Satellite phones in India without permits (a very complicated process) is prohibited. It is a

    criminal and jailable offence to be in possession of an unlicensed phone, or to use it. Mobile phones

    work well throughout most of the country and communications throughout your tour is generally good.”

    belt and after collecting your bags you may please proceed towards

    arrival hall wherein you will be welcomed by your &Beyond India host

    and chauffeured to The Oberoi New Delhi.

    New Delhi, the capital of India is a modern buzzing metropolitan city

    with remnants of the past strewn amongst the modern buildings. Much

    of New Delhi was planned by Sir Edwin Lutyen’s, who laid out a

    grandiose central administrative area as a testament to British imperial

    pretensions.

    Delhi was established between 900 B.C and 1930. Delhi's famous "seven

    cities" range from the 12th century Quila Rai Pithora, built by Prithviraj

    Chauhan, to the imperial Shahjahanabad, constructed by the Mughals

    in the 17th century.

    Of the many attractions in Delhi, the major sites are the Rashtrapati

    Bhawan designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as the British Viceroys Palace,

    Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) where the Red Fort is, or Jama Masjid in the

    famed Chandni Chowk in the heart of Old Delhi.

    The Oberoi: Located in New Delhi, India’s capital city, The Oberoi New

    Delhi reflects the city’s spirit in a harmonious blend of tradition and

    contemporary sophistication. Located close to the city centre near

    business, commercial and shopping districts, the luxury hotel overlooks

    Delhi’s prestigious Golf Club on one side and the heritage site of

    Humayun’s Tomb on the other. Exquisite interiors, impeccable service

    and fine cuisine combine to make this the Capital’s most graceful and

    elegant hotel. The award-winning hotel is ideal for business travel or

    holidays to explore the cultural wonders of Delhi.

    Spend One Night at The Oberoi New Delhi. Accommodation will be in a

    Premier Plus Room. Your stay is on Bed & Breakfast Basis

    Day 2 - New Delhi – Agra

    This morning, you will be driven to Agra. (Approx. 3 ½ hrs’ drive)

    Arrive Agra and check-in to the hotel The Oberoi Amarvilas.

    Agra: The city of Agra flourished under the patronage of the emperors

    Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan and attracted artisans from Persia and

    central Asia. Agra is where Emperor Shah Jahan celebrated his immortal

    love for his Empress in marble, the Taj Mahal. Agra is still famous for

    handicrafts products such as inlay work on marble, carpets, jewellery,

    zari and embroidery work.

    The Oberoi Amarvilas: Considered as one of India’s best hotels, The

    Oberoi Amarvilas stands unmatched in its grandeur and style. Being only

    600 metres away from the Taj Mahal, every single room in this property

    looks toward the monument.

    Once you have settled in, you will embark on a guided tour of the

    Itmaud-ud-daula and the Taj Mahal; to view it by Sunset.

    Itmaud-ud-daula: The Tomb represents a transition in monumental

    Mughal architecture between the construction from red sandstone with

    marble decorations, to those of white marble decorated with pietra

    dura inlay. The walls of the Tomb are of white and coloured marble

    encrusted with semi-precious stone decorations. These take the form

    of cypress trees, wine bottles, fruit or vases containing bouquets. Light

    enters the building through screens intricately carved from white

    marble.

    Taj Mahal: Said to be one of the most elegant and a harmonious building

    in the world, Taj Mahal is the manifestation of the wealth and luxury

    of Mughal art as seen in its architecture, garden design, painting, and

    calligraphy.

    [Taj Mahal is closed on Friday]

    Spend Two Nights at The Oberoi Amarvilas. Accommodation will be in

    a Premier Room. Your stay will be on Bed & Breakfast Basis.

    extensively with marble and pietra dura inlay. Notable buildings in the

    fort include the Pearl Mosque, the Diwan-e-Am and Diwan-e-Khas (halls

    Ranthambhore: Tucked between the rugged Aravalli and Vindhya hills,

    the Ranthambhore National Park boasts a spectacular landscape filled

    with boulder-strewn highland plateaus, lakes and rivers - dotted with

    old forts and abandoned mosques - creating a wonderful atmosphere

    for both bird and mammal viewing. Ranthambhore is perhaps most

    famous for being one of the original 'Project Tiger' reserves and it still

    affords one of the best opportunities anywhere in India of seeing a

    tiger. At the centre of the park lay the ruins of the 10th to 16th century

    Ranthambhore Fort which dominates the leafy forests from its perch

    atop a dramatic rocky outcrop.

    examples of dry deciduous forest intersposed with grassland. It is where

    geographical zones merge and it is possible to see the tigers from the

    overhead area. The entire forest has scattered battlements & spill overs

    of the Ranthambore Fort, where tigers are said to frequent the ruins

    colours includes the City Palace, an astronomical observatory and a

    bustling bazaar where artisans fashion puppets, silver jewellery, lac

    bangles and other handicrafts in their workshops. At a short distance is

    Hawa Mahal [Photo stop only]: Perhaps Jaipur’s most famous building; the

    Hawa Mahal is the pink sandstone façade of a palace built for the ladies of

    the harem by Sawai Pratap Singh. The façade contains 953 small casements

    under a huge curve, each with a balcony and crowning arch. The windows

    enable cool air (Hawa) to circulate and the zenana to watch processions

    below without being seen.

    City Palace: A wonderful combination of Mughal and Rajput forms of

    architecture, it is now partly a museum housing miniature paintings,

    manuscripts, Mughal and Jaipur carpets, musical instruments, royal

    costumes and weapons, giving invaluable insight into Jaipur's royal

    past.

    http://www.andbeyond.com/

  • www.andBeyond.com Golden Triangle & Magnificient Wildlife 2020 - 21

    Observatory Tower or the Jantar Mantar was built between 1728 and

    1734 and it houses precise instruments for measuring “the harmony of

    heavens”. Each instrument serves a particular function and gives an

    accurate reading.

    After your interpretive adventure, you will have the opportunity of

    embarking on a walking tour of the market in the old city. Visit the

    Maniharon ka rasta (bangle makers lane), then walk to the Thada

    on the way, along with many small stalls.

    Day 9 – Jaipur

    Breakfast is at the hotel.

    You will embark on a guided tour of amer fort and anokhi museum.

    Amer Fort: It was once the ancient citadel of the ruling Kachhawa clan,

    before the capital was shifted to present day Jaipur. Amer Fort is known

    for its unique artistic style, blending both Hindu and Muslim (Mughal)

    elements, and its ornate and breath-taking artistic mastery.

    Anokhi Museum: The museum is located in a wonderfully restored haveli

    within walking distance of the Amer Fort, and exhibits an active

    acquisition program with a varietal of block printed textiles, alongside

    animated images, time honoured photographs, antiquated wood and

    brass tools, and related craft-like objects that provide a window into

    the lives of an ancient people. The art of block textile printing can be

    traced back centuries, easily considered to be the slowest and oldest

    form of textile printing, and was practiced across the East by imprinting

    various patterns onto textiles, by means of chiselled wooden blocks.

    Today, India is one of the largest producers and exporters of block

    printed fabrics in the world. The museum also houses contemporary

    http://www.andbeyond.com/

  • www.andBeyond.com Golden Triangle & Magnificient Wildlife 2020 - 21

    textiles works, featuring pioneering designs fashioned by talented

    conservation areas today. Lush Sal and bamboo forests are interspersed

    with vast grassy meadows. The Banjaar river forms the southwestern

    border of the park and provides a steady water source for the abundant

    wildlife.

  • www.andBeyond.com Golden Triangle & Magnificient Wildlife 2020 - 21

    afternoon park drives in an open safari vehicle. An experienced

    naturalist will accompany you, explaining and pointing out interesting

    flora and fauna.

    One of the joys of exploring this park is the range of habitats each with

    their own characteristics. There are large expanses of mixed deciduous

    forest with stretches of tall sal (Shorea robusta) trees with breaks of

    bamboo. Riverine patches are dissected by streams of gin-clear water

    which make for perfect cooling spots for the animals. Kanha is famous

    for its vast meadows or ‘maidans’, many of which were previously

    ‘forest villages’. These fields are excellent habitat for large herds of

    spotted deer and Swamp deer that are preyed on by packs of wild dogs

    or ‘dhole’, as well as tiger and leopard. All of these are interconnected

    by an excellent network of forest tracks and dirt roads.
