After breakfast, visit Old Delhi. Begin with a trip to the renowned Jama Mosque from the 17th century. Take a brief walk through the colorful, narrow streets of the old city. After a short break to pay respects to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat, you will visit New Delhi in the afternoon. In the afternoon, you will tour New Delhi and see the famous Qutub Minar and Humayun's Tomb. Then, you will take a drive around colonial Delhi, which includes visiting India Gate, the majestic President's Palace, and the Indian Parliament. The day concludes with a visit to a renowned Sikh place of worship called “Bangla Saheb Gurudwara". Return to the hotel for a brief rest, have dinner, and then retire for the night.
After breakfast, drive to the city of Taj, Agra. Afternoon go see the impressive Red Fort. Emperor Akbar laid the foundation of the fort in 1565 and the construction continued until the time of Shahjahan. The tall red stone structure extends for approximately 1.5 miles, commanding a turn in the river Yamuna to the northwest of the Taj Mahal. The building is noteworthy for its seamless fusion of Hindu and central Asian architectural designs.
You will be visiting the Taj Mahal at sunrise, built in 1630 by Shah Jahan to honor his queen Mumtaz Mahal. We will start at 6 am. This impressive building is a beautifully crafted work of art made from white marble. It shows the incredible ability of 20,000 craftsmen who came from Persia, Turkey, France, and Italy and worked together for 17 years to complete this "Love Poem in Marble." Return to the hotel for breakfast. Drive to Jaipur after breakfast. We will stop at Fatehpur Sikri on the way to Jaipur. Fatehpur Sikri, located 40 km from Agra, is an abandoned city built by Emperor Akbar in 1569 to honor the great Saint Sheikh Salim Chisti. The saint blessed Akbar and prophesied the birth of three sons to the then childless emperor. Akbar used Fatehpur Sikri as his capital and the city was active for 14 years. Sadly, it eventually became deserted and ruined after Akbar left the city. Water scarcity caused this city to be abandoned. You can see the stunning, intact structures in the 'Ghost City' that embody the grandeur of the Mughal empire at its peak. These include the Jama Masjid, tomb of Salim Chisti, Panch Mahal Palace, and other palaces. Then continue driving to Jaipur and check in at the hotel upon arrival.
Breakfast will be served at the hotel. Amber fort excursion in the morning with an Elephant ride. Amber is a beautiful palace in the state of Rajasthan, featuring classic and romantic architecture. Its walls may appear rough and worn on the exterior, but the interior is truly stunning. Miniature paintings on the walls depict hunting and war scenes, as well as festivals, and precious stones and mirrors are embedded in the plaster. When visiting Amber, be sure to see the Jag Mandir or the Hall of Victory located inside the palace. It's a famous room with all four walls and ceiling decorated with glittering mirror pieces. The mirrors were imported from Belgium during that period. On the way to Amber Fort, there is a brief photography stop at Hawa Mahal, which is also known as the Palace of Winds. In the afternoon, the city tour starts with the Maharaja's City Palace, which was the former Royal residence. Part of the palace is converted into a museum. A small part of the palace is still used by the Royal family of Jaipur. The palace is designed like a fortified campus and takes up almost one-seventh of the city's area. A major highlight of the museum is the Armoury Museum that showcases an impressive collection of firearms, including pistols, blunderbusses, flintlocks, swords, rifles, and daggers. Most of these weapons were once used by the royal families of Jaipur. Later, go check out Jantar Mantar, the biggest observatory in the world that's made of stone and marble. It's located near the city palace gate and boasts 17 large instruments, some of which still work. Afterward, enjoy dinner and stay overnight at the hotel.
After breakfast drive to Delhi to connect your flight back home.
