Dear Friends,

India holds a special place in my heart. I hear this same sentiment from many travelers who have had the opportunity to visit this spiritual, diverse and fascinating country. For 2014, we have created an itinerary that captures the essence of all that India has to offer on a journey in luxurious comfort.

Arrive in Delhi and you will immediately become aware of the diverse influences in architecture. From the modern buildings of New Delhi to the elegant palaces, mosques and forts of Old Delhi, this thriving capital city will both charm and excite you. Experience the spiritual core of the country when you visit the center of the Sikh religion, Amritsar, and then again later on when you witness an aarti ceremony in Varanasi – one of the oldest living cities of the world. In Agra, you will have the chance to watch the famous Taj Mahal as it reflects the hues of the rising sun at dawn. Explore the fascinating caves – UNESCO World Heritage Sites – of Ellora and Ajanta. Flying on to southern India, you’ll ply the Kerala backwaters and then discover the Dutch and Portuguese influences in Kochi. The final stop in Bombay – or Mumbai as it now called – allows you a leisure day to take a walking tour of the Fort District or get an inside view into the film sets of Bollywood.

This incredible journey becomes even more memorable when you fly from city to city in royal luxury aboard your private jet and spend your nights in exquisite hotels. Add to this the all-inclusive meals with opportunities for our signature Dine by Choice, special entertainment and private access to fascinating venues – and it is a journey that will surely hold a special place in your heart.Please join us on this once-in-a-lifetime itinerary.

Sincerely,Heidi LakaniPresident

Lakani’s Dine by Choice

One of the most thrilling aspects of travel is the opportunity to taste the local flavors of each destination. This is why Lakani includes the exclusive Dine by Choice meal program in each private jet journey. This feature gives you flexibility and a way to personalize your traveling experience. Dine where, when and with whom you choose. If you fancy a quiet evening in the comfort of your luxury hotel room, then order room service. Wander down to one of the dining options located in your hotel. But for those who want to experience the local specialties and ambience of the city, journey outside your hotel to the restaurant of your choice. And don’t forget to seek the help of your tour manager who will assist you with suggestions and reservations.

Luggage One-Touch

For 17 days, enjoy the best India has to offer without any care. Our exclusive “luggage one-touch” service assures that once your luggage arrives in Delhi, you won’t have to handle it again until after your departure from Mumbai.

Your Personal Concierge

Winging your way around India aboard a Lakani Luxury Private Jet is the most stress-free and relaxed way to travel. Your professional tour manager will take care of all the details, leaving you to enjoy every moment of your luxury private jet journey. He will ensure that arrival and departure formalities are smooth and efficient, hotel rooms are ready when you are, and sightseeing is maximized to make the best use of your valuable time. Consider your Lakani Tour Manager your personal concierge who makes restaurant reservations for your Dine by Choice pleasure, assists you with personal shopping and is at your disposal 24/7. No request is too big, too small, or too difficult because the Lakani Tour Manager is devoted to making your travel experience special and memorable.

Lake Palace Hotel in Udaipur

Nadesar Palace, Varanasi

Vivanta by Taj, Aurangabad

Hotels of ChoiceStately hotels, enchanting palaces, and luxury spa resorts await you on this remarkable journey around India. Enjoy exquisite service and hospitality at your first hotel in the epicenter of New Delhi. The Taj Mahal Hotel, often chosen by dignitaries and heads of state, is known for its traditional grace and charm intermingled with contemporary comforts. You’ll feel as though you have stepped into a fairytale in Udaipur as you float across Lake Pichola to the historic Lake Palace Hotel. Formerly known as Jag Niwas, the 18th-century white marble royal palace occupies a four-acre island in the center of the lake and was a royal abode for 200 years before it was transformed into a luxury hotel. Immerse yourself in the royal mystique and awaken to stunning views.

Your most memorable sight of the Taj Mahal may very well be from your room at the splendid Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra. The hotel is just 600 meters away from the famous landmark and you will have many opportunities throughout your stay to gaze upon the monument while taking in the beauty of the resort itself. You may also avail yourself of fine dining and spa treatments offered at the hotel.

Wing your way to Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities of the world, where the serene Nadesar Palace awaits you with luxuriously appointed rooms, decorated with works of art from

the Maharaja’s collection. Begin your day with breakfast on the verandah. Look out onto the verdant gardens, orchards, and fields of flowers and relax in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Your home in Aurangabad is at the palace-styled Vivanta Hotel by Taj, situated on five acres of gardens – not far from World Heritage Sites of Ellora and Ajanta Caves. Take a dip in the inviting pool or get a massage at the spa after a day of exploring.

Fly south to Kochi and arrive at the acclaimed Kumarakom Lake Resort on the banks of Lake Vembanad in what has been described as one of the must-see paradises of the world – Kerala. Indulge in luxurious accommodations and the ancient healing of Ayurveda at this grand, yet charming, resort.

As your private jet journey draws to an end, what better way to spend your last nights than at Mumbai’s first harbor landmark – The Taj Mahal Palace. The historic luxury hotel has hosted Maharajas, dignitaries and celebrities for over a century. Enjoy your sumptuous accommodations, blending traditional elegance with state-of-the-art amenities, as you look upon the majestic Gateway of India.

Intriguing HistoryYour Lakani journey around India is sure to bring alive the rich history of the subcontinent. The secret to India’s survival is transformation – the ability to stay relevant. See the evidence of these transformations for yourself on the tour of the ever-changing subcontinent. In Old Delhi you’ll see plenty of evidence of the Mughal Empire in its architecture and monuments. Then, while driving through New Delhi the British influence is still a flourishing reminder of its rule for over 300 years. Look around and you will see for yourself the post-colonial push and pull; the urge to strive forward with new technologies from the colonizer and the struggle to remember old customs, which make these people unique.

In Agra, your leisure day activity choices provide an excellent sample of what India means to the world – ancient civilizations, global charity, and beautiful handiworks. You may choose which Indian treasure you wish to further explore. On the final leg of your journey, take a Heritage Walking Tour with an expert in Mumbai and you will hear fascinating stories of the transformation that has taken place there too.

Spiritual ReflectionsIndia is a virtual melting pot of spirituality. It is home to all of the major religions of the world, living in harmony for centuries. Learn the teachings of human equality of Sikhism as you tour the Golden Temple in Amritsar, a spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion. In the Hindu city of Varanasi, cruise the Ganges at sunset to witness a special ceremony reverencing all deities. In the morning, observe various ceremonies being performed along the Ganges as you ply the river on a private cruise.

Royal ExperienceFrom princes to palaces, you will have many opportunities to understand the royal influences of the ages. In Udaipur, you’ll not only experience the royal treatment during your stay in an actual palace, but you are invited to a special Rajastani party with royal cuisine and traditional entertainment. And of course, you will see the mausoleum of one of India’s most famous royal families in Agra – theTaj Mahal. This unforgettable monument is regarded as the eighth ‘Wonder of the World’ and you will be in the most enviable viewing position at the Oberoi Amarvilas, a royal experience in itself!

Ancient TreasuresThe Ellora Caves at Aurangabad bring to life the civilization of ancient India. The magnificent rock-cut monuments representing the three great religions of Buddhism, Brahminism and Jainism were dug side by side between 600 and 1000 AD. Examine the differences between the monasteries and temples of each faith and admire how they seemingly thrived in harmony in one single place. The nearby Buddhist Ajanta Caves date from the 2nd century BCE and here you’ll see perhaps the finest example of ancient Indian paintings and sculptures dedicated to Buddhism.

Tropical ParadiseThe pristine beaches and serene backwaters of Kerala is an astonishing contrast to the sights of the North. Become immersed in tropical bliss as you embark on a houseboat cruising through a network of canals lined with coconut trees and villages. See the influence of the Portuguese and Dutch as you tour the city of Kochi – an important spice trading center on the Arabian Sea since the 14th century. Perhaps you’ll indulge in a holistic Ayurveda treatment before you leave this naturally beautiful part of India.

Colorful and AromaticThe sights and sounds of India will no doubt remain with you for years to come – but it is the fragrant spices and vibrant colors that are sure to leave an indelible mark in your mind. From the rickshaw ride through Delhi’s principal street, Chandni Chouk, right through to your last impressions of India in Mumbai – your senses will be on overdrive with stunning architecture, picturesque scenery, fragrant incense, enticing culinary smells and enchanting music. India will capture your heart and mind. Enjoy each and every moment of your journey.

Your Journey begins...

NEW DELHI, INDIAMoN. & TuE., Nov. 03 & 04 Taj Mahal New Delhi

On arrival in New Delhi, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. This evening meet your traveling companions and Lakani Tour Managers at a welcome cocktail reception and dinner party.

Delhi, the modern-day capital of India, is comprised of two cities, and you will experience both on your city tour. The older part was built by the Mughals with elegant palaces, mosques and forts, and New Delhi was conceived by the British with its stately avenues, homes and gardens. Drive past the magnificent Red Fort, a marvel in red sandstone, built on the banks of River Yamuna by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Visit Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India.

Continue on a panoramic drive through New Delhi, the creation of British architects Edwin Lutyen and Herbert Baker. Later visit Qutab Minar, a 15th Century minaret that stands as Delhi’s sentinel even today. The 237 foot hand-carved minaret is adorned with scriptures from the

Koran. Enjoy a rickshaw ride through Delhi’s principal street, Chandni Chowk, a bustling jumble of shops, temples, mosques and craftsmen’s workshops of goldsmiths, silversmiths, and silk traders.

DELHI ArT WALk oPTIoN:For those who have previously visited Delhi, the following alternate excursion may peak your interest.

Accompanied by an expert of Indian Contemporary Art, visit the Crafts Museum and the National Gallery of Modern Art. The Crafts Museum, among its collection from all over India, includes a beautifully preserved 18th century mansion or haveli, and you can also see artisans at work in the museum courtyard. The National Gallery, formerly the residential palace of the Maharajah of Jaipur, today exhibits 4,000 art pieces from the mid-19th century to the present day.

AMrITSAr - uDAIPur THu., Nov. 06 Lake Palace HotelAfter breakfast there will be another opportunity to visit the Golden Temple in daylight before transferring to the airport for your Private Jet flight to Udaipur.

Udaipur was founded in 1568 as the capital of the old Mewar state; it was the only Rajput stronghold to uphold its Hindu allegiance in the face of Muslim invasion. From the late 16th century, peace brought about an era of renaissance in the arts and encouraged the building of beautiful palaces around the lake which culminated in the City Palace, one of the largest palace complexes in the world. Undoubtedly the most romantic city in Rajasthan, and perhaps the world, Udaipur is built around Lake Pichola and has inevitably been dubbed the ‘Venice of the East’.

Visit the City Palace, built in 1725, which houses the Dilkhush Mahal, Sheesh Mahal - studded with its glittering Belgian Mirrors, Moti Mahal and the Palace of Lord Krishna, all of which are ornately decorated. Explore the Jagdish Temple, built in 1651 in dedication to Lord Vishnu. Later today enjoy an exclusive boat ride around Lake Pichola, a romantic setting surrounding the gleaming white Lake Palace and the Jag Mandir – a refuge of the rebel Mughal Prince, Shah Jahan, who later became the creator of the Taj Mahal in Agra.

In the evening, enjoy an exclusive Rajasthani dinner party with royal cuisine and traditional entertainment.

AMrITSAr WED., Nov. 05 Hyatt Amritsar Today board your Private Jet and fly to Amritsar in northern India. Literally translated as “holy pool of nectar”, Amritsar is the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion, with the Golden Temple as its landmark and focal point. The Golden Temple, also known as Sri Harmandir Sahib was initiated by the fourth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Ramdas Jee and completed in 1601 by his successor Guru Arjan Dev Jee. This evening marvel at the sight of the temple illuminated at night, with its spectacular golden reflections.
