Arrival in Delhi and Guided Sightseeing Tour

Indira Gandhi International Airport - Receive a warm traditional welcome from the representative at New Delhi International Airport. Meet the representative and transfer to the hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. Check-in and embark on a half-day sightseeing tour of Delhi.

Humayun’s Tomb - This splendid garden tomb is the first significant example of Mughal architecture in India. Constructed in 1565 A.D., nine years after Humayun’s passing, by his senior widow Bega Begam, it features garden squares (chaharbagh) with pathways and water channels, and a centrally located mausoleum topped by a double dome. Several Mughal rulers’ graves are within the walled enclosure, where in 1857 A.D., Lieutenant Hudson captured the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah II.

Qutub Minar - A towering 73-meter-high victory tower, built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak following the defeat of Delhi’s last Hindu kingdom. The tower has five distinct storeys, each with a projecting balcony, tapering from a 15-meter diameter at the base to 2.5 meters at the top. The first three storeys are red sandstone, while the fourth and fifth are marble and sandstone. At the tower’s base is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, India’s first mosque, with an inscription over its eastern gate stating it was built using materials from 27 demolished Hindu temples. A 7-meter-high iron pillar stands in the mosque’s courtyard, and legend says encircling it with your hands while standing with your back to it will fulfill your wish.

Rashtrapati Bhavan - The residence of the President of the world’s largest democracy, symbolizing India’s strength, democratic traditions, and secular character. Designed by Sir Lutyens, the H-shaped building covers 5 acres on a 330-acre estate. The mansion has 340 rooms over four floors, 2.5 kilometers of corridors, and 190 acres of gardens. Thousands of laborers, including masons, carpenters, artists, carvers, and cutters, completed this masterpiece in 1929.

India Gate - Opposite Rashtrapati Bhavan, at the center of New Delhi, stands the 42-meter-high India Gate, an “Arc-de-Triomphe”-like archway at a crossroads. Similar to its French counterpart, it commemorates the 70,000 Indian soldiers who died fighting for the British Army during World War I. The memorial bears the names of over 13,516 British and Indian soldiers killed on the North Western Frontier in the Afghan war of 1919.

Delhi - Agra (By Road) and Guided Sightseeing Tour

Agra - After breakfast, check out from the hotel and drive to Agra. Upon arrival, check into a pre-booked hotel.

In the afternoon, proceed for local sightseeing of Agra. Visit:

Agra Fort - Built by Emperor Akbar on the west bank of the Yamuna River, Agra Fort dominates the city’s center. The crescent-shaped fort has a 20-meter-high, 2.4-kilometer-long outer wall containing a maze of buildings forming a small city within a city. The Diwan-i-Aam (hall of public audience), Diwan-i-Khas (hall of private audience), octagonal tower Musamman Burj, Khas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace), and Anguri Bagh (Grape Garden) are notable sites within the fort. The impressive Red Sandstone structure appears strong and invincible. It is commonly believed that Mughal emperor Akbar built it, further developed by his heirs. However, the fort was initially a small fortress built by a Hindu warlord around the 5th century, recognizing Agra’s strategic importance on the Yamuna River.

Agra - Fatehpur Sikri - Jaipur (By Road) and Guided Sightseeing Tour

Taj Mahal - Early morning visit to the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Located in Agra, this “symbol of love” was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Annually, more visitors than Agra’s population pass through its gates to see this breathtaking monument. Described by Rabindranath Tagore as “a teardrop on the cheek of eternity,” the Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Covering over 60 bighas, it was constructed using white marble from Makrana, Rajasthan.

After breakfast, check out from the hotel and drive to Jaipur.

Fatehpur Sikri - En route, visit Fatehpur Sikri, an old deserted town of the Mughal Dynasty. Built in red sandstone in honor of Saint Salim Chisti, who predicted the birth of three sons to Emperor Akbar, it exemplifies robust stability and originality. This fortified ancient city was the Mughal empire’s short-lived capital between 1572 and 1585 during Akbar’s reign. Akbar visited Sikri to consult Sufi saint Shaikh Salim Chishti, who predicted an heir’s birth to the Mughal throne. When the prophecy came true, Akbar built his new capital here, including a stunning mosque still in use today, and three palaces for his favorite wives – one Hindu, one Muslim, and one Christian (though Hindu villagers in Sikri dispute these claims).

In Jaipur (Guided Sightseeing Tour)

Amber Palace - A captivating blend of Hindu and Muslim architecture, this fort was built by Raja Man Singh on a hillside in the 16th century. Construction began in 1592 by Raja Mansingh I and was completed by his descendant Jai Singh I. While the fort’s exterior is rugged, the interiors are equally enchanting, with Hindu and Muslim architectural styles reaching ultimate refinement. Painted scenes of hunting and war adorn the walls, with precious stones and mirrors set into the plaster. In the foreground, Maota Lake provides a magnificent reflection of the Fort.

Jal Mahal - Possibly the most serene sight amidst Jaipur’s chaos is the beautiful Jal Mahal, the Water Palace. This low-rise symmetrical palace, once a shooting lodge for the Maharajah, appears to float in the center of Sagar Lake. The light sand-colored stone walls of Jal Mahal contrast starkly with the lake’s deep blue waters, while lush foliage sprouts from the palace’s interior.

Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind - Located near the commercial center of Pink City, Hawa Mahal is considered Jaipur’s landmark. Known as the ‘Palace of Winds,’ this five-story building was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. The palace features 953 windows or ‘Jharokhas’ adorned with intricate designs. A small museum within Hawa Mahal houses famous items like miniature paintings and ceremonial armor.

City Palace of Jaipur - A palace with stunning architecture and cultural artwork, once the seat of the Kings during their reign. City Palace is a complex of courtyards, gardens, and buildings situated in the Old City’s center. A must-visit for tourists due to its impressive history, architecture, gardens, and courtyards, it houses several other buildings. Blessed with urban layout beauty, City Palace is more than a tourist destination; it is an exquisite symbol of design, art, and creativity.

Jantar Mantar - Jaipur - Jantar Mantar is a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments built by Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, completed in 1734. It features the world’s largest stone sundial and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located near City Palace and Hawa Mahal, the instruments allow observation of astronomical positions with the naked eye. The monument showcases architectural innovations and the convergence of ideas from different religious and social beliefs in 18th-century India. The observatory exemplifies Ptolemaic positional astronomy shared by many civilizations.
