Early morning you will be transferred to Lodhi garden to experience the Yoga with a Yoga expert. Experience and indulge in the age-old holistic healing and wellness methods of India.

It’s not uncommon to see ladies patiently waiting, with bagful of spices and a recipe that has been handed down since generations.

Day 5:  Jaipur
