Go on to New Delhi and visit Gandhi Smriti, a peaceful courtyard nowadays to remember Gandhi's life and mark the site of his assassination. A bit far away, stroll around the ground of the lofty Qutub Minar, marveling at the intricate carvings and inscriptions adorning its wall surface.

Afterward, continue the trip to Jaipur for the night.

Be awe in of the hillside Amber Fort in the morning. Sitting atop a small hill about 11 km northeast of the city center, this architectural masterpiece draws every tourist. Inside its yellow and pink sandstone crowd palaces, halls, and gardens, including the sparkling Sheesh Mahal, known as the Hall of Mirrors due to its wall covered in intricate mirror works.

Return to the city center and stop in front of the Hawa Mahal for photography. Later, appreciate the superb collection of Rajasthani costumes and armory at the City Palace Museum. End the tour at the nearby Jantar Mantar, where you can try to check the local time with huge moment instruments.

On the Full Moon Day falling in the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna, Indians will flood the streets to celebrate the arrival of Spring by throwing powdered dye with abandon and spraying water. Today, you will be one of them, spraying each other with brightly colored powder and dancing, to experience this unique culture and deeply rooted tradition.

Take a road trip for about 6 hours back to Delhi. Stop during the road for a break where you can stretch your legs.

Take time to pick some souvenirs if you prefer until being escorted to the international airport. Bid farewell to India and board your homebound flight.
