Day 8. Agra - Ranthambore
Overnight – The Oberoi Vanyavilas
You are assisted with your check-out from your resort and then you are driven to the Chand Baori stepwell at Abhaneri, located just off the highway before you turn into the countryside towards Ranthambore. The massive 10th century Chand Baori stepwell is one of the most impressive in all of India and is located next to a charming Rajasthani village. The depth of the stepwell is that of a modern 7 story building, and there are stairs (no longer accessible to visitors) leading down to the bottom from three of the 100 foot plus wide (35 meters) sides, creating symmetry and beauty to the ancient structure.
You can choose to break for lunch at a decent and hygienic restaurant on the highway, or wait until the mid-afternoon to eat after arrival at Ranthambore. After lunch you will continue on with your journey to Sawai Madhopur (Ranthambore National Park). The second half of this drive is through rural Rajasthan and there are colorful villagers around you going about their daily activities. You will also encounter many camels and other livestock on this drive.
Upon arrival you are assisted with your check-in at another one of the Oberoi Hotel’s gorgeous resorts, the multi-award winning Vanyavilas. Located at the edge of the National Park with spectacular grounds and facilities, the gorgeous jungle resort has a limited number of beautiful luxury tents and service beyond compare.
