Explore India — Make a Trip of It
"There are some parts of the world that, once visited, get into your heart and won't go. For me, India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds. It was as if all my life I had been seeing the world in black and white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced everything re-rendered in brilliant technicolor."
— Keith Bellows, Editor-in-Chief, National Geographic Traveler
Start Here
Delhi
India's Capital
India's sprawling, chaotic, endlessly fascinating capital. Ancient monuments sit alongside world-class restaurants and buzzing nightlife. Spend 2–3 days here to ease yourself in. Don't miss the majesty of the Red Fort, the towering Qutb Minar, and India Gate, with time to wander the grand colonial arcades of Connaught Place and shop and dine at Khan Market. Most international flights land here — it's the natural starting point for your India adventure.
Day Trips & Stops from Delhi
Agra
3 hrs from Delhi by train or road
Home to the Taj Mahal — one of the most breathtaking things you will ever see in your life. Visit at sunrise, when the light is soft and the crowds are thin, or at sunset for a warm, golden glow. Round out the day with a beautiful dinner at The Oberoi, with views of the Taj. Agra is easily done as a day trip from Delhi on the fast Gatimaan Express train, or as an overnight stop on your way south to Rajasthan.
Jaipur
5 hrs from Delhi · 6 hrs from Udaipur
The Pink City — Amber Fort, the iconic Hawa Mahal façade, and some of the best shopping in Rajasthan. Jaipur sits perfectly between Delhi and Udaipur, making it a natural overnight stop. Stock up on block-print textiles, silver jewellery, and blue pottery before the wedding.
Gateway City
Mumbai
India's Most Cosmopolitan City
The place to arrive jet-lagged and immediately fall in love with India. Eat your way through the street food stalls of Bandra, walk the Marine Drive promenade at dusk, visit the Gateway of India, and explore the colonial grandeur of South Mumbai. The restaurant scene is outstanding. International guests flying via Mumbai can easily spend 2–3 days here before flying to Udaipur.
Further Afield — Worth the Journey
Goa
1.5 hrs from Mumbai by air
India's beach paradise — Portuguese-colonial architecture, spice plantations, palm-fringed coastline, and a wonderfully laid-back pace. The north and south Goa coastlines each have a very different character. Best combined with a Mumbai visit before or after.
Jodhpur
5 hrs from Udaipur · 6 hrs from Jaipur
The Blue City. Mehrangarh Fort looms dramatically over a sea of indigo-painted houses. The food is some of the best in Rajasthan — don't leave without trying dal baati churma. A great extension for those spending more time in Rajasthan.
Kerala
2.5 hrs from Mumbai by air
Lush backwaters, spice-scented air, and a completely different pace and cuisine to the north. A houseboat stay on the Kerala backwaters is one of India's most memorable experiences. Perfect for those wanting to extend their trip into something truly special.
Udaipur - Our Wedding City
City Palace & the Old City
The City Palace complex is extraordinary — a labyrinth of courtyards, mirror rooms and lake views built over 400 years. The old city below is perfect for wandering — narrow lanes, rooftop cafés, and artisan shops. We recommend arriving a day or two early to explore.
Lake Pichola & Jag Mandir
Take a sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola and stop at Jag Mandir island palace for drinks overlooking the water. The light on the lake at golden hour is something you won't forget. Easily arranged through the Raffles concierge.
First Time in India? 🇮🇳
A few things to know before you go — from people who love it.
🌶️
The Food
Say yes to everything — Indian food is extraordinary and wildly regional. That said, a few simple habits will keep you feeling your best throughout the trip. Always drink bottled or sealed water (including for brushing teeth), and avoid ice in drinks at smaller establishments. At roadside stalls and local dhabas, stick to food that is freshly cooked and served hot — the sizzling dishes coming straight off the tawa are generally the safest and most delicious bet. Salads and raw produce are best avoided unless you're at a hotel or restaurant you trust. When in doubt, order what's hot and busy — if locals are eating it, it's usually a very good sign.
🎨
What to Pack
Light, breathable fabrics are key. October is warm so pack accordingly. Comfortable walking shoes are essential. Modest clothing is appreciated at temples and religious sites.
🚕
Getting Around
Uber and Ola work in most cities and are the easiest way to get around. Auto-rickshaws are an adventure — always agree on a price beforehand or insist on the meter.
🧘
The Golden Rule
Things may not always go to plan, and that's part of the magic. Embrace the unpredictability, go with the flow, and you'll have the trip of your life.

Frequently Asked Questions
General
What will the weather be like? +
October is one of the loveliest times to be in Udaipur. After the monsoon, the days are warm and sunny — around 32°C (89°F) — and the evenings cool to a comfortable 18°C (65°F). We'd suggest packing a light shawl or wrap for the outdoor evening events.
Are the events indoors or outdoors? +
The Welcome Night will be mostly indoors. Every other celebration will be outdoors, under the Udaipur sky.
Can I take photos? +
During the wedding ceremony, we'd love for everyone to be fully present with us, so we kindly ask that phones be silenced and put away out of respect for the sacred nature of the occasion. For every other event — snap away to your heart's content! We'll also share all the photos and video from our professional team with you after the wedding.
What should I wear? +
Consider this your official invitation to go all out — Indian weddings are made for fashion moments, and ours is no exception! Head to the Dress Code section for guidance on each event. If you'd like a head start on shopping, a few of our favourite Indian clothing sites are: Kynah, Pernia's Pop-Up Shop, Ogaan, Lashkaraa, Ensemble, Aza Fashions, Tasva, and Aayka.
Travel & Logistics
When should I arrive and depart? +
Please plan to arrive at the Raffles any time after 11:00 AM on October 28th. If you expect to arrive earlier, just let us know. Checkout is at 12:00 PM on October 31st.
Which airport should I fly into? +
The closest airport is Maharana Pratap Airport (UDR) in Udaipur. Guests flying from the US should fly into Delhi (DEL) or Mumbai (BOM) and connect to Udaipur on a quick domestic flight.
Will transportation be provided? +
Yes! We'll arrange transport for all guests between the airport and the hotel on your check-in and departure days. You'll find more about the arrival experience on the Travel page, and our wedding concierge will be in touch closer to the date to collect your flight details.
Do I need a visa to travel to India? +
Most likely, yes. You'll find visa and entry requirements on the Travel page, and our wedding concierge will send a detailed document with everything you need to know — feel free to reach out to them with any questions.
The Celebrations
What is a Haldi ceremony? +
Haldi is a joyful pre-wedding ritual where family and close friends apply a turmeric paste to the bride and groom — said to bless the couple and give them a radiant glow before the big day. It's as messy as it is fun, with plenty of laughter, music, and marigolds.
What is a Sangeet? +
The Sangeet is a night of music and dance where both families come together to celebrate. Expect performances, dancing, and a whole lot of joy carrying on late into the night.
What is a Baraat? +
The Baraat is the groom's grand wedding procession — Rohan will arrive surrounded by family and friends dancing to a live dhol. It's loud, high-energy, and one of the most fun moments of the day. Everyone's welcome to join in!
What is the Wedding Ceremony? +
The Sikh Wedding Ceremony, known as an Anand Karaj, translates to the ‘Ceremony of Bliss.’ This significant event represents a sacred bond between the divine and the couple being wed. It is a moment of spiritual connection that emphasizes the importance of love and commitment in the presence of God. The ceremony is not only a celebration of their union but also a reflection of both partners being equal companions supporting each other in faith and values, marking the beginning of their journey together as partners in life.
Guest Services & Gifts
Will hair and makeup be available? +
Yes — a hair and makeup guest salon will be available before each event. Our team will reach out about pricing and availability ahead of the wedding.
Will ironing services be available? +
Complimentary ironing service, up to 10 garments per room, will be available to keep your outfits smooth and stylish. Please contact the hotel laundry at least 4-5 hours before the event for timely delivery.
Is there a gift registry? +
There is no gift registry for our wedding. If you would like to give a gift, we warmly ask that you refrain from bringing boxed gifts.
