The Story

Where Grace Met
the Subcontinent

In March 1962, Jacqueline Kennedy arrived in Delhi with her sister Lee — a goodwill tour hosted by Prime Minister Nehru that became the most photographed India journey of its century. The Jackie Kennedy Way is inspired by that chapter: palace mornings, the Taj at dawn, Benares light, and a boat gliding across Lake Pichola.

A private travel narrative shaped by the state visit that linked elegance, diplomacy, and the palaces of India.
