New Year 2026 in India: 11 days of reboot

Day 1. Welcome to India.

In the early morning at the airport you will be waiting for our caring transfer.

And today you will relax in the hotel after the flight, adapt and accumulate strength for a rich experience.

All this day - for recovery and soft immersion. You can relax in the room, swim in the pool, enjoy the atmosphere and allow yourself not to rush anywhere.

Because tomorrow will begin what you're here for.

If we can, we'll meet at dinner.

 

Day 2. Acquaintance with Delhi and sunset in Jaipur.

First you will plunge into the heart of Delhi - at the very moment when the cyclic rickshaw begins to wind down the old streets, the city comes to life at arm's length: the smell of spices, street talk, colorful saris and the sounds of thousands of klaxons.

We're going to show you the many faces of Delhi.

Akshardham Temple is a magnificent creation of modern India;

Snow-white Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, where there is peace and quiet among the bustle of the city; Lakshmi Narayan temple, a place where desires take shape and power.

We will also take a look at the real Dhobi Ghat Laundromat – a place where time seemed to stand still, and in the famous well of the 14th century, which stores more legends than it seems at first glance.

After the city mosaic - a change of scenery.

On the way to Jaipur we will make a few stops.

And in the evening, when the sun will paint the walls of Jaipur in a soft pink hue, you will already be at dinner, where you will find yourself.

Traditional Rajasthan dishes, live music and dancing will be the final chord of the day.

 

Day 3. Celebrate New Year's Eve 2026.

Today is the day when you don’t just travel, you create the story of your next year.

After breakfast, you will find a real adventure: a trip to the past in jeeps to Fort Amber. The stone walls of this fort, framed by mountains and mirrored halls, still retain the spirit of the Rajput rulers.

A walk through the most photogenic places in Jaipur:

The palace on the water is like floating in the lake surface.

The Palace of Winds is a building that makes both architects and romantics fade; the Main City Palace is a luxury and history behind every turn.

And in the evening comes what it is worth to be in India on these dates.

New Year’s dinner in a cozy and cheerful company: under the light of garlands, the sound of music and the aromas of Indian dishes, you will meet the New Year in the pinkest city of the planet.

This New Year will be different. Warmer, sincere and memorable.

 

Day 4. Visiting the monkeys and going to Agra.

After the New Year’s lights, music and dancing, the morning in Jaipur begins calmly.

No rush, only enjoy the moment: get enough sleep, have breakfast without fuss and give yourself time to feel how the special New Year continues to unfold in detail.

And at noon, we are waiting for the continuation of the Indian fairy tale.

We will go to Agra, but first we will stop in one of the most soulful and unusual places of the route:

Galta G Temple, better known as the Monkey Temple.

It's not just a temple. It is a place where harmony seems to rule the world: monkeys, humans and nature coexist without fear or haste.

You can feed the funny residents of the temple, make a wish at the holy water and make a few shots that will definitely collect likes and smiles for a long time.

After an easy and kind stop, the route will continue to Agra, a city where history comes to life within the walls of palaces and fortresses.

 

Day 5. Meeting with the Wonder of the World - Taj Mahal.

Today is the day when a dream hidden somewhere on the list will become a reality.

The morning will begin with the main wonder of India - the Taj Mahal. It is more than an architectural monument. This is a love story that has become a symbol of eternity. When you stand in front of him, time slows down. The marble shimmers into the sun, as if the building were actually floating in the air.

After lunch, you will continue your journey, this time into the world of feeling, music and dance.

In the evening you will find a theatrical show - a living story of the birth of the Taj Mahal, told in the language of emotions, movements and oriental beauty.

It was in Agra that our guests admitted: That was the day you caught yourself thinking, I’m really living this dream.

You will stay in Agra overnight to prolong this condition.

 

Day 6. Touch of Eternity by Varanasi.

Today you will go to a place where time loses its usual course.

After a transfer to Delhi and a short flight, you will be greeted by Varanasi, a city that has lived for more than 5,000 years and continues to be the heart of spiritual India.

Here people do not just pray, here they accept the meaning of life as it is.

In the evening, you will find something that is difficult to convey in words and impossible to forget:

The evening service of the Ganges River is Aarti Ceremony.

The world is silent, the space is filled with the light of lamps, mantras, the smell of incense and the ringing of bells. It’s not just a ritual, it’s an experience that brings people back to themselves.

It is said that Varanasi cannot be understood by the mind, but by the heart.

Today is exactly the day you will have.

 

Day 7. Dawn on the river Ganges and the sacred Sarnath.

This day will begin before dawn, when the world is still asleep, and we will be on the Ganges River to witness the beginning of a new cycle of life.

We will get on a boat and quietly sail through the waters of this sacred river. In the rays of the first sunlight, the Ganges bloom in golden shades, and the city of Varanasi slowly wakes up, filled with the sounds of prayers and rituals of pilgrims. This moment plunges into an incredible state of peace and harmony. It becomes clear why the Ganges is not just a river, but a symbol of eternity and purification.

Afterwards, we will go to Sarnath, the place where Buddha delivered his first sermon more than 2,500 years ago.

Here you will feel incredible strength and calm. Buddha said that stupas help to purify the mind and achieve enlightenment. Together with you, we will devote time to these practices and allow ourselves to turn off everything for a few moments to hear the inner voice.

At the end of the day - transfer to the airport and flight to Mumbai. Night in Mumbai, where your day will end in one of the most dynamic and vibrant cities in the world.

This day will be more than just a trip to India.

This will be the day you really rethink your life by seeing the world in a new way.

 

Day 8. Mumbai is a city of contrasts. Flight to Goa.

Today Mumbai will open to you from a variety of angles: from the splendor of ancient buildings to the most unexpected and lively corners of the city. You will see how India in one place combines grandeur and commonplace, luxury and simplicity.

After breakfast, we will begin by walking along the historic boundaries of old Bombay: The University and the Library - here the spirit of the English era still lives;

Victoria Station is an architectural wonder guarded by UNESCO, where past and future connect.

After lunch at the legendary Café Leopold, where the atmosphere is familiar to all Shantaram fans, we will head to Malobar Hill to take beautiful photos overlooking the city.

But don’t think Mumbai is just about luxury. India is full of contrasts, and in this city they are particularly strong. After that, we will go to the most expensive corners of the city, and then plunge into another world:

Slums, where the smell of grandmother's cakes brighten up the ordinary day, and life boils with its special rhythm.

And, of course, not bypass the most famous symbols of the city:

The Gateway of India is a majestic arch standing on the shore and the world famous Taj Mahal Hotel.

This journey from the most expensive to the simplest, but no less impressive corners of Mumbai will open up India from a variety of angles.

After a busy day, we will fly to Goa, where we will finish the day in a cozy hotel.

 

Day 9. Chill in Goa.

North Goa, Arambol - orange sun and simplicity of being

Today, we leave the hustle and bustle behind and plunge into an atmosphere where time slows down and enjoying the moment becomes a top priority.

Welcome to Arambol, a corner of northern Goa where the warm sea meets the soft orange sun and tranquility meets the lively atmosphere.

One of our organizers lived here for three years. We have chosen for you a comfortable and peaceful hotel away from the noisy tourist centers. It has been tested by many groups before you and you will definitely feel at home.

And if you want to extend your vacation, Goa is a place where you can’t get tired of beauty. You can stay here for a long time, enjoy every moment and always find something new.

 

Day 10. Free day. Rest.

Today is not just a day of rest. This is the moment when time slows down and every moment becomes valuable.

Goa is the capital of the world holiday, where you do not need to rush, there is no need to rush anywhere. Just enjoy the warm sea, gentle waves and the atmosphere of leisurely happiness.

For outdoor enthusiasts, we have options to choose from: we can organize tours of Goa to get acquainted with its other facets.

But if you just want to disconnect, Goa is the perfect place to immerse yourself in your inner world and give yourself peace.

 

Day 11. Goodbye, India.

If you do not want to rush, enjoy the highlights:

• Walk on the beach in the shade of palm trees,
• Take a look at the azure sea,
• Allow yourself to do nothing while enjoying the atmosphere of peace and relaxation.

For those who need to go home, we arrange a transfer to the airport.

Who wants to extend the rest - we will gladly help to organize leisure.
