DELHI
Your journey begins in Delhi, India's dynamic capital. A city of layers,
Delhi reveals centuries of history and culture at every turn. Explore
Old Delhi by pedicab and experience its energy as you pass vibrant
bazaars and narrow winding lanes. Visit the Red Fort, a grand
reminder of Mughal rule, and Humayun's Tomb, a stunning
UNESCO Site that influenced the design of the Taj Mahal. Stop
at the India Gate and admire the broad avenues of New Delhi,
designed during the British Raj.
JAIPUR
Continue to Jaipur, the "Pink City" of Rajasthan. Along the way, visit
UNESCO-listed Fatehpur Sikri, the atmospheric former capital of the
Mughal Empire. In Jaipur, tour the Amber Fort, a majestic hilltop
palace with ornate interiors and sweeping views. Explore the City
Palace complex, still home to the Jaipur royal family, and marvel at the
UNESCO-listed Jantar Mantar Observatory, an 18th-century marvel
of astronomical instruments. Admire the Palace of the Winds, its
honeycomb façade offering a striking example of Rajput architecture.
AGRA
Travel by motor coach to Agra, where the legendary Taj Mahal
awaits. Witness this architectural masterpiece at both sunset and
sunrise, and watch as the marble shifts in colour with the changing
light. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute to his beloved
wife, the Taj Mahal remains one of the world's most romantic
monuments. Explore the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, often called
the "Baby Taj" for its graceful beauty. Consider an optional tour of
the formidable Agra Fort, another UNESCO Site.
