        If you're looking for a charming and luxurious setting to enjoy a delightful high tea, look no further than The Atrium Restaurant at The Imperial Hotel, New Delhi.

        D&K Canyoneering and Zip lining
        It was such an amazing experience ! The terrain was challenging but it was worth it. The views of the canyon and falls were spectacular. Amazing guides Dave, Michael and JR took very good care of us, encouraging us for all the dips from the small to large cliffs to the rocky terrain. They even took photos and videos for us. Thank you so much!

        Well worth it!
        We partook in the evening cookery class with Mr Singh and his chef. This was a highlight of our trip and our teenage son was really looking forward to this experience. We first set off to the vegetable and spice markets so learn about the foods used in our dishes and where they came from, negotiating the Jaipur traffic which was an experience in itself! We then took a short Tuk Tuk ride back to the homestay, where we cooked up dishes and then partook in a meal of our dishes. This was a really insightful and pleasant evening which we enjoyed immensely.

        Unimaginable structures and systems
        The views and the structure was amazing and jaw dropping. 112 feet shiva Statue is one of the 8 wonders in terms of tallest structures and top 2 amongst Asia. Beware of the crowds and avoid going during Purnima or deepa deewali or Kartik Deepa festival season It was flooded with people coming from all over India for preparing for malai

        Indulgent high tea
        Best high tea ever! Great way to while away your last few hours in Delhi before getting the overnight train. There are hot and cold savoury options as well as at least 20 cakes to choose. It’s served buffet style.
