Day 3: Delhi – Agra
Today after break fast embark for Agra Via Mathura, Vrindavan (
Lord Krishna's Birth Place. A city of Temples). Agra is famous as being
home to one of the seven wonders of the world-the Taj Mahal. The
architectural splendour of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is a
vivid remainder of the capital in the 16th and early 17th centuries.
Day 4: Agra excursion tour
Taj Mahal Emperor Shah Jahan vowed to honor his wife Mumtaz Mahal
with this memorial of unmatched beauty when she died. This poignant
Mughal mausoleum has become the tourist emblem of India. Agra Fort
is a veritable treasure trove of the Mughal architectural tradition.
The various buildings within this sprawling fort complex represent the
assimilation of different cultures, which was the hallmark of the
Mughals. Fatehpur Sikri (En Route) The perfectly preserved, red
sandstone “ghost town”.Wearying of Agra, Emperor Akbar built a new
capital here only to mysteriously abandon it a few years later. It was a
veritable fairy tale city and its ‘ruins’ are still in pristine
condition making it easy to imagine what court life must have been like
in its heyday.
Day 6: Jaipur excursion tour
Amber Palace The Former Capital of Rajput kingdom. We step back
in time as we are transported up the hill to the palace on brightly
caparisoned elephants — true to the style of the Maharajas of the past.
Inside we find lavish courtyards, beautifully decorated halls and a
lovely Chamber of Mirrors. City Palace Museum with its fabulous displays
of miniature paintings and traditional Rajasthani royal costumes and
the lovely Palace of the Winds. Jantar Mantar An accurate observatory
built in 1726.It contains 13 different instruments for calculating such
things as the time of day, the altitudes of heavenly bodies, and the
positions of constellations. Although the instruments look like modern
sculpture, they are able to make calculations accurate to one second.
