In the morning, our sightseeing begins. We will visit the walled city of Old Delhi, where every street is buzzing with activity. The influence of the Mughals, who once ruled from the ramparts of the Red Fort, can be seen extensively. First, we will visit Jama Masjid – the largest mosque in India, built in the 17th century. Later, we will drive past the New Delhi Area to visit Raj Ghat, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan (Presidential Palace), the Parliament House, and other colonial buildings. The early 20th-century work of Edwin Lutyens, a British architect, prominently features in the colonial districts. Finally, visit the famous Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb, a marvelous example of Persian-inspired Mughal architecture.

Today, we drive down to Agra to witness the architectural wonder of the Mughal golden age. Upon arrival, we transfer to the hotel and take a quick break. Then, visit the Agra Fort – featuring a blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Over time, Rajput and Mughal architects embellished the fort with red sandstone, bricks, and beautiful marble from Makarana, giving it the appearance of a city palace. After visiting Agra Fort, we will continue to India’s most iconic site, encased in white marble. Taj Mahal, a symbol of eternal love, stands on the Southern bank of River Yamuna. It was built by the 5th Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, in the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal in the 16th century. The view of the Taj Mahal at sunset never fails to enchant first-time visitors and leave them speechless. We then spend the evening visiting the bazaars, where the tradition of the Taj Mahal’s marblework survives today as artisans offer fine marble- inlay work for sale.

Today, we leave for Jaipur – the colorful capital of Rajasthan known as the “Pink City”. En-route, we will visit the Fatehpur Sikri, a grand, deserted, Mughal royal city. The impressive and well-preserved citadel served as Akbar’s political capital for 14 years until he abandoned it in 1585 following a drought. Also known as ‘The City of Victory’, Jaipur was the first planned city of its time, with imposing forts, dazzling palaces, and lush gardens. Today, Jaipur is the gateway to Rajasthan and still remains one of India’s most important heritage cities, full of historic charm. We will finish off the day by exploring the colorful evening bazaars, before getting some rest for a full day of sightseeing in Jaipur tomorrow.

We then proceed to City Palace, a perfect blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. Next, we visit Jantar Mantar, an observatory built in the 18th century. Its solar devices can measure the day’s progression with an error of just 2 seconds, making it an astronomical treasure that can still accurately make predictions today. We will also visit Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), a five-storied facade made of pink sandstone. Built in the year 1799, Hawa Mahal and its discreet windows (Jharokas) allowed royal ladies to watch street processions and festivities.
