Day Two Delhi
The capital of kingdoms and empires is now a sprawling metropolis with a fascinating

culture of an ancient land. A window to the kaleidoscope - that is India.

Day Three Delhi - Agra by surface 200km in 4hrs
In the morning after breakfast leave for Agra and visit Mathura and Vrindavan
(ISKCON temple) en-route to Agra. Check in at hotel.
Day Four Agra
Two great Mughal monarchs, Akbar and Shah Jahan, transformed the little village
of Agra into a befitting second capital of the Mughal Empire - giving it the
name Dar-ul-Khilafat (seat of the Emperor). Today a visitor to Agra is caught
up in a world of contrasting edifices, of red sandstone and white marble, narrow
galleys and quaint buggies, and that irresistible charm that this favorite city
of the Mughals still retains. It is not surprising, that modern Agra still reflects
its Mughal heritage most conspicuously. A walk down the narrow bustling streets
of the city will introduce the visitor to the wafting aroma of Mughlai cuisine.
TAJ MAHAL: Little needs to be said about this architectural wonder which is
always the soul raison-de-etre for every tourist's visit to Agra. Built by Shah
Jahan, the Taj is a white marble memorial to his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal.
This monument took 22 years to be completed and was designed, and planned by
Persian architect Ustad Isa. Apart from its stunning design balance and perfect
symmetry, the Taj is also noted particularly for its elegant domes, intricately
carved screens and some of the best inlay work ever seen.
Proceed for visit to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Itmadullah’s Tomb.
Return to hotel and relax in the evening.

Day Five Agra - Jaipur by surface 230km in 5 hrs
Drive to Fatehpur Sikri after breakfast.
The deserted, red Sandstone City, Emperor Akbar built that as his capital and
palace in the late 16th century is an exhilarating experience. It a veritable
fairytale city and its "ruins" are in pristine condition... it's not
hard to imagine what the court life must have been like in the days of its grandeur.
Also visit the Bulund Darwaza, the largest gateway in the world.

Day Six Jaipur - Pushkar
After breakfast at your hotel leave for Pushkar camel fair.
Pushkar happens to be the holiest places according to the Hindus as it is considered
that Lord Brahma (the Creator) and his wife Saraswati (the godess of learning
and music) performed a ritual in the lake. Here we visit the only Brahma temple
of the world before intermingling with the local colours in the local bazaar.
Pushkar is the world famous for its cattle fair held each year in the month
of October/November. Proceed towards Ajmer.
Ajmer is the pious city for the Muslims. Surprisingly both the cities are

of Khwaja Muin ud Din Chisti where the Muslim pilgrims from all over India
throng during the festival times. Later visit Mughal emperor Akbar's Palace
