1 Delhi - Agra
Namaste! Welcome to India. Make your way to the joining point by 9 am this morning. You’ll then immediately start your tour of Old Delhi with your English-speaking guide. Drive to the heart of the city, which pulses with the energy and colour of the bazaars. Maybe ride a rickshaw around the back streets to experience the hustle and bustle of everyday life. After, stop for an optional lunch before departing Delhi at around 2 pm for the drive to Agra. When you arrive, check into your hotel and organise tomorrow’s Taj Mahal visit with your local representative. The rest of the afternoon and evening is free to explore Agra at your own pace.
2 Taj Mahal - Agra
If you opt to view the Taj Mahal at sunrise, you’ll be met at your hotel at about 6 am by your guide who will accompany you. Alternatively, if you opt for the later 2 pm visit, your guide will meet you at around 8.30 am, so you can visit the Red Fort first). The Taj Mahal is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a masterpiece of white marble, set among formal gardens. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz, this 'teardrop on the face of eternity' (as it was described by writer Rabindranath Tagore) lives up to all expectations. Then, visit the Agra Fort on the banks of the Yamuna River – constructed in 1565 by Emperor Akbar, the fort was originally designed to be a military structure. It was converted to a palace in Emperor Shah Jahan's time and eventually became his prison after he lost power in 1658. You have a free afternoon to relax or explore the back lanes of Agra, visit the Taj again or watch local artisans and villagers making handicrafts, marble inlay work or carpets. A visit to Sheroes Cafe, which provides employment for women who have been affected by acid attacks, is also highly recommended.
3 Fatehpur Sikri - Delhi
After breakfast, you’ll be met by your guide who will assist in checking you out of your hotel. Travel by private vehicle towards Delhi, stopping at the deserted Mughal kingdom of Fatehpur Sikri along the way. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1569, it was abandoned after 15 years due to the scarcity of water. A highlight of the settlement is Jama Masjid – a striking mosque featuring elements of both Persian and Hindu design. The main entrance of the mosque is the impressive 54 m-high Buland Darwaza (the Gate of Victory), constructed to commemorate Akbar's military victory in Gujarat. After, your guide will bid you farewell as you begin your journey back to Delhi. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel, at about 3 pm. If you’d like to extend your stay and need additional accommodation, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time.
