Day 1: Explore the Rich Heritage of Delhi

Morning Pick-Up and Old Delhi Tour

Your adventure kicks off with a warm pick-up from your hotel, airport, or railway station in Delhi by a private air-conditioned car. Meet your friendly, English-speaking guide and dive straight into the colorful chaos of Old Delhi:

Jama Masjid – One of the largest mosques in India, with beautiful red sandstone and marble design.
Rickshaw Ride in Chandni Chowk – Feel the pulse of Old Delhi as you weave through narrow lanes filled with spices, street food, and stories.
Red Fort (Drive Past) – A majestic symbol of Mughal power and architectural excellence.
Raj Ghat – The serene memorial of Mahatma Gandhi.

New Delhi Highlights

Next, discover the contrast of New Delhi with its wide roads, colonial buildings, and leafy avenues:

India Gate – A war memorial that stands tall with an eternal flame.
President's House & Parliament (Drive Past) – Witness the grandeur of Lutyens’ Delhi.
Lotus Temple – An architectural wonder and place of peace open to all religions.
Qutub Minar – A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this towering minaret is a masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture.

Evening Drive to Agra

After exploring Delhi, enjoy a comfortable drive to Agra (around 3.5 hours). Upon arrival, check into your pre-booked hotel and relax for the night.

Day 2: Sunrise at the Taj Mahal & Jaipur Bound

Sunrise at the Taj Mahal

Rise early to witness the Taj Mahal at sunrise—when its white marble glows with shades of pink and gold. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, this symbol of eternal love is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Your guide will share fascinating stories as you explore.

Agra Fort

Next, visit the mighty Agra Fort, a grand fortress of red sandstone that was once the seat of the Mughal Empire. Walk through elegant halls and courtyards, and enjoy views of the Taj from the royal chambers.

Optional Stop at Mehtab Bagh or Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj)

If time permits, visit Mehtab Bagh for a stunning view of the Taj from across the Yamuna River or explore the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, a beautiful marble mausoleum often called the Baby Taj.

Drive to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri

En route to Jaipur, stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned capital of Akbar the Great. This ghost city boasts stunning Mughal architecture and timeless stories. Then continue your drive to Jaipur (approx. 5 hours) and check in to your hotel for a restful night.

Day 3: Discover the Royal Grandeur of Jaipur

Amber Fort

Start the day with a trip to the hilltop Amber Fort, where you can ride an elephant or take a jeep to the main entrance. Inside, explore royal halls, mirrored palaces, and sweeping views of Maota Lake.

Jal Mahal (Water Palace)

Stop for photos at Jal Mahal, a serene palace in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. Though entry isn't allowed, the view is absolutely worth the stop.

Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds)

Visit the iconic Hawa Mahal, with its 953 windows built for royal women to observe street festivals without being seen. Its honeycomb façade is Jaipur’s most photographed building.

City Palace

Explore the grand City Palace, still home to the royal family. Visit the museums, courtyards, and ornate gates that speak of regal life in Rajasthan.

Jantar Mantar

Just next door, visit Jantar Mantar, an astronomical observatory that houses the world's largest stone sundial and a collection of scientific instruments centuries ahead of their time.

Shopping and Departure

If time allows, you can shop for Jaipur’s famous handicrafts, textiles, jewelry, and blue pottery. Then, begin your comfortable drive back to Delhi in the evening.
