PM: Taj Mahal (closed on Friday), amongst world’s seven wonders. Taj Mahal is like tear drop on cheek of Time and known as monument of Emperor’s love for his wife. More than 20,000 skilled workers shaped it in 20 years in 16 th century.
Agra Fort: The Agra fort was once the flourishing center of the Mughal Dynasty, and four successive emperors helped to create its massive walls, within which Hindu and Muslim styles merge into a splendid fusion of military might and lavish beauty.
There after drive to Jaipur (250 kms / 06 hrs) visit Fatehpur Sikri enroute.
Fatehpur Sikri: about 40 km from Agra lies the magnificent deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri, the capital of the great and loved emperor Akbar. During his brief stay here, a great complex of Forts, Palaces and Mosques sprang up, but Akbar was finally forced to abandon his dream city due to scarcity of water, and it became a ghost town. This epic poem in sandstone lies straddled across a rocky ridge, surrounded by immense walls with nine gates. The largest of the gates is the Buland Darwaza, and it leads to the Jama Masjid and to the fantastic tomb of Sheikh Salim Chisti which lies under an elaborate marble canopy and is lavishly inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
Continue drive to Jaipur. On arrival check in at hotel.
AM: Amber (palace) fort: the original palace of the local rulers was built in the 17 th century high up on a hill overlooking a lake, the towers and domes of the Amber palace are reminiscent of scenes from some fairy-tale. Their hall of victory is richly decorated with panels of alabaster with fine inlay work of tender colours. You ascend up the palace on board gaily-caparisoned elephants. (Elephant ride on direct payment @ usd 12 pp).
PM: Jaipur city: this 18 th century city (capital of Rajasthan) is famous as “the pink city”, because of the local rose-pink-sandstone used in its construction. The fortifications give it a medieval atmosphere, but its well-planned layout is “modern”. Visit Maharaja’s City-Palace, situated in the heart of the city with charming gardens surrounded by high walls; palace of winds, a uniquely designed five –story structure with tiers of overhanging balconies of pink sandstone; Maharaja Jai Singh after whom the city was named, being a keen astronomer built an astronomical observatory which is still in use.
Drive to Delhi (265 kmr/05 hours), on arrival straight proceed to visit New Delhi
Pm: City tour of New Delhi visit the famous Qutab Minar, The President’s house, Parliament, India gate, the Rajpath and downtown Connaught place.
Am: Old Delhi is also called by its original name of Shahjahanabad for the emperor Shah Jahan, who built it. The havelis that line the gullies are architecturally stunning but irreversibly crumbling. The walls of the city spread over 7 miles, enclosing the Lal Qila (Red Fort), the Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque – the largest mosque in India, accommodating up to 25,000 worshippers at one time), Chandni Chowk and the residential quarters. Once the power center of the Mughal Empire with wide streets, waterways and lively bazaars, Old Delhi has now degenerated into an overcrowded cluster of shops and dilapidated houses.
