Delhi

principal mosque of Old Delhi in India. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, and completed in the year 1656 AD,
it is the largest and best-known mosque in India. It lies at the origin of a very busy central street of Old Delhi, the Chawri Bazar Road. The mosque
of Friday was built from 1644 to 1658 during the reign of Shahjahan. The mosque is 80 m long and 27 m wide. The courtyard can accommodate 25,000 worshippers
and occupies 408 square feet. Later we proceed to visit Raj Ghat where Mahatma Gandhi – The Father of Nation, was cremated and drive past the Red Fort

mile long Chandni Chowk, popularly called “The Silver Street”. Enjoy the ‘Cycle Rickshaw’ ride in Old Delhi. In the afternoon proceed for tour of New Delhi,
which reflects the legacy the British left behind. The division between New and Old Delhi is the division between the capitals of the British and the
Mughals respectively. The division in the walled city and New Delhi also marks the division in the lifestyles. The walled city is all tradition where
one will be able to glean a past lifestyle in all its facets, colours and spells. New Delhi in contrast, is a city trying to live up to the best of
21st century standards. The tour to Imperial Delhi will start by visit to the Qutab Minar, the tallest stone tower in India.
The Qutab Minar was started in 1199 AD by Qutab-ud-Din Aibak and completed by the sultan’s successor and son-in-law, Iltutmish. The building is 72.5 m high and
has 379 steps from the bottom to the top. The Minar is tapered with the diameter of the base is 14.3 m while at the top floor it is 2.7 m.
The Qutab Minar is still the highest stone tower as well as one of the finest Islamic structures ever raised in India. Later visit Humayun’s Tomb,
built by the widow of the second Mughal Emperor, Humayun, it is an outstanding monument in the Indo-Persian style, a precursor of the Taj Mahal.

Day 03
Delhi – Agra
After breakfast drive to Agra; Arrive Agra and transfer to your hotel. Agra came into limelight during the rule of Afghan King Sikandar Lodhi – who had
made it the capital of his empire. Later in 1526 A.D., the Mughal Emperor Babar took upon himself the task for rendering Agra, a unique character and beauty
of its own. Agra – in terms of ambiance is still associated with its Mughal period. The Mughals, besides being great rulers, were also great builders and they
preserved their best architectural wonders for Agra & its neighbourhood. It has many wonderful monuments and the Taj Mahal, the greatest of them all, is a
masterpiece of Mughal architecture at its best.
Later visit the Taj Mahal (closed on Friday) – The Taj Mahal (closed on Friday) – The Taj Mahal is everything that has been said about it and more.
Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as an expression of his love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, in mid-17th century, the Taj Mahal is truly one of the
wonders of the world. Though the Taj appears to be amazingly perfect from almost any angle, it is the close-up marble inlay work, which is really astounding.
Later visit The Agra Fort, an outstanding example of Mughal architecture. Agra Fort – the seat and the stronghold of the Mughal Empire under successive generations.
This was the seat of Mughal rule. Shahjahan added the impressive quarters and the mosque while Aurangzeb added the outer ramparts. Visit its Hall of Public Audience
and its Royal Pavilions. Besides the historical monuments, one can also explore Agra’s rich heritage of handicrafts in its markets.
Also visit Itmad ud Daula -This tomb was built in 1622 for Ghiyas Beg, father of Empress Noor-Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir.
It is beautifully conceived in white marble, mosaic and lattice and set a precedent as the first Mughal building to be faced with white marble inlaid with
contrasting stones. Sometimes also called ‘Baby Taj’, it is small, intimate and has a gentle serenity. Afternoon is free to walk around in the colorful and bustling
bazaars for personal exploration or shopping. Overnight stay at your Hotel.

Agra Fort / Itmad-ud-Daula (Baby Taj) / Taj Mahal

Day 04
Agra – Jaipur
After breakfast proceed drive to Jaipur visiting Fatehpur Sikri enroute. The deserted red sandstone city was built by the Great Mughal Emperor, Akbar, as his
capital and palace in the late 16th century. It was abandoned soon after it was built when the local wells went dry, and it remains today in much the same
condition that it was over 300 years ago. It is complete with palaces and mosques and used to be a town larger than London when it was originally constructed.
Now it is an extraordinary place to wander around with its buildings in near perfect condition.
Later drive to Jaipur; arrive in Jaipur and transfer to hotel. The capital of Rajasthan Jaipur – popularly known as the “Pink City” as the Pink sandstone was used to
construct the buildings in the old walled city. Jaipur owes its name, its foundation, and its planning to the Great-Warrior-Astronomer Maharaja Jai Singh II
(1699–1744 AD). Jaipur (City of Victory) was founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1727. It is the only city in the world symbolising the nine divisions of the
Universe through nine rectangular sectors sub-dividing it. The architect who formalised the city’s plans on the Shilpa Shastra, the epic Hindu treatise on
architecture, mixed it with the sublimity of the Mughal and Jain influences of those times. The city was painted pink in 1853 in honour of the visit by Prince Albert.
Except for the busy traffic of bicycles, cars, and buses, little seems to have changed. Afternoon is free to walk around in the colorful and bustling bazaars for
personal exploration or shopping. Overnight stay at your Hotel.

Day 05
Jaipur
After breakfast proceed for full day city tour of Jaipur – visiting Amer Fort located at a distance of 11 kilometers from Jaipur and was the old fort of the
Kachhwaha clan of Amber. It used to be the capital, till it was moved to Jaipur. The fort is built with white marble and red sandstone and looks even more
attractive because of the Maota Lake in the foreground. The fort in itself is a beautiful sight to behold but as one looks on the fort with its clear reflection
on the lake in the front; one cannot help but wonder if it is a dream or a beautiful illusion. An elephant [Subject to availability/alternatively by jeep] will
spare you the trouble of climbing up to the fortress. Once on top, stroll through the sprawling complex of courtyards and halls with a well-informed and well-spoken
guide who would regale you with tales of yore.
Later visit the City Palace of Jaipur, among the highlights to be seen while touring Jaipur include the City Palace, which is an overwhelming complex of exquisite
palaces, gardens and courtyards, decorative art, and carved doorways. The palace museum houses collections of rare manuscripts, armours, costumes, carpets, and
miniature paintings. Walk to the adjacent Jantar Mantar or Astronomical Observatory made by the Maharaja of Jaipur, built in 1726 and is one of the five such
astronomical wonders built by Sawai Jai Singh and makes accurate predictions even to this day. Jaipur is a shopper’s paradise. Most of the bazaars are in an
old city with a wide range of things to buy, from jewellery (precious and semi-precious stones and handcrafted silver) to textiles to handicrafts and antiques.
No doubt, for an avid shopper “Jaipur” is the choicest of the city to shop and collect memorabilia. Afternoon is free to walk around in the colorful and bustling
bazaars for personal exploration or shopping. Overnight stay at your Hotel.
