We begin this tour in the national capital of India, Delhi. The city has thousands of years of history and has been ruled by the Aryans, Greeks, Mughals and those of Persian origins. This can be witnessed in the art and architecture of the region. The imperial British style of architecture with a blend of Moghul and Indian styles can be seen in the monumental structures of India Gate and the President’s House.

The city has also managed to modernise itself keeping its old infrastructure intact. It’s a surreal experience to watch how the city performs on a day-to-day basis within its chaos.

From Delhi, you will then move to Jaipur which is the capital of the Rajputanas, the land of the Forts and Palaces. Jaipur was possibly the first planned city in Northern India, and popularly known as the Pink City due to the excessive use of pink stone during construction of the buildings. The city can charm tourists through its architecture, arts, textile, traditions, music, jewellery and more.

From Jaipur, you will head to Agra. Between Jaipur and Agra you will visit the 16th century “Fatehpur Sikri” or Victory Town. The town is home to an extravagant mosque and fort complexes. The city has managed to preserve its brilliant Mughal architecture and is considered as the best preserved one in India. It’s one of the most under represented historical towns. If Jaipur’s enormous forts were your favourite, wait to be surprised by the Fatehpur Sikri.

The last destination is Agra and the highpoint is the magnificent mausoleum of eternal love, the immortal “Taj Mahal”. A world heritage site and one of the wonders of the World. No words can describe this white marble edifice, built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tomb in memory of his beloved wife, the Empress Mumtaz Mahal.

Although your guide will explain the amazing historical stories behind this stupendous site, nothing can really prepare you for a visit to the Taj Mahal.

In Agra, you will also visit Agra Fort, a 16th century monument situated near the gardens of Taj Mahal. It was in this fort that Emperor Shah Jahan spent his last few days.
