Tour Itinerary

Day 1| Arrive : New Delhi

Arrive at Delhi airport late in the evening/morning. Our Company representative will receive you at the
International Airport. Board the car and drive to the pre booked hotel. If time permits go for local
sightseeing. Check-in at the hotel and stay overnight.

Delhi: A Transition through Time - As you walk along the narrow by lanes of this city of dreams, tread softly. Every
crumbling wall has a story to tell. Every yesterday is replete with history. Rulers have come and gone. The city has
lived through wars and resurrection, repeatedly rising from the ashes. Cradling civilizations since times immemorial
Delhi goes back hundreds of thousands of years back into time.

Stone tools belonging to early Stone Age were discovered from the Aravalli tracts in and around Anangpur, the
Jawaharlal Nehru University Campus, the northern ridge and elsewhere - evidence that the Early Man lived here.
Excavations at Mandoli and Bhorgarh in east and north-west Delhi respectively have thrown up remains of
chalcolithic period dating back to 2nd millennium BC, 1st millennium BC as well remains of 4th-5th century AD have
been traced here.
The excavations of the ancient mound of Indraprastha, capital of the Pandavas, located within the fold of the
sixteenth century Purana Qila revealed evidence of continuous habitation of the site for almost 2500 years.
According to the Mahabharata, the Pandavas founded their capital Indrapratha in the region known as Khandava-
prastha. Delhi was also witness to the glories of the Maurya Empire during 3rd century BC. The Ashokan edict
engraved on a rock in East of Kailash as well as remains found in Purana Quila excavations belonging to the
Mauryan period point to Delhi's importance during this era.

The first city of Delhi, Lal Kot was founded by the Tomar ruler Anangpal, in the 11th century. It was extended to
Qila Rai Pithora by King Vigraharaja IV (Circa 1153-64). Qutbuddin Aibak became Delhi's first Sultan in 1206 and
laid the foundations of the Qutb Minar, India's tallest stone tower at the site of the first city of Delhi subsequently the
kings of the Sultanate dynasties, Khaljis, Tughluqs Sayyids and Lodis continued to build. New cities as Delhi grew.
The second city around Siri by Alaud-Din Khalji (1296-1316); Tughlaqabad, the third city built by Ghiysud-Din
Tughlug (1321-51); Firuzabad, the fifth city of Delhi, is now represented by Kotla Firuz Shah, founded by Firuz
Shah Tughluq (1351-88). It was Humayun who laid the foundations of the sixth city - Dinpanah. This was destroyed
and reconstructed as the Purana Qila by Sher Shah Suri however, it was the Mughals who took Delhi to the zenith
of architectural glory.

While some construction activities did continue during the reign of Akbar (1556-1605) and Jehangir (1605-27), it
was Shah Jehan (1628-58) who built the seventh city, Shahjahanabad which remained the Mughal capital until
1857. The British in 1911 shifted the capital of India to Delhi. The eighth city of New Delhi took shape in the imperial
style of architecture. From then to now Delhi continues to throb with vitality and hop. The ruins and ramparts still
stand tall in dignity - and amidst them rise modern buildings and giant skyscrapers. It's a breathtaking synthesis of
yesterday and tomorrow, the holding on to the past and surging ahead to the future.

Day 2| Delhi- Agra (by car)

This day early morning get driven to Agra. Reach Agra and check in at your pre booked hotel. Then
get ready to visit the important historical places like Itmad-Ud-Daula, Red Fort, Sikandra and explore
the local bazaars like Sadar, Raja ki Mandi, Sanjay Place, Taj Ganj Area etc. Come back to the hotel
and stay overnight. 

Agra: Agra is the one of the prominent destinations of the World Tourism map with three heritage monuments -The
Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri & Red Fort. It is more just a decadent city of graveyards and stones, but it is a vibrant
centre of Culture, Art and Religious philosophies that have enriched mankind and shaped human thought over
centuries. Agra is famous for handicrafts products such as Inlay work on Marvel, Leather Work, Footwear,
Brasswear, Carpets, Jwellery, Zari and Embroidery work.

Sikandra: Sikandra, the former capital of Lodi dynasty, was named after the
Afghan ruler Sikander Lodi. The city of Sikandra, located at about 12 km from
Agra, houses the tomb of Mughul Emperor Akbar. The design and
construction of the tomb was started by Akbar himself and subsequently
completed by his son Jehangir. The shape of the tomb is a truncated pyramid
with five stories. The first four stories were constructed with red sandstone and
the fifth one with white marble. The white marble storey comprises a false
tomb of Emperor Akbar. The real tomb of Akbar is located in a crypt right
below the false tomb. There are several well laid out gardens in the tomb
complex. The Baradi palace in the gardens was built by Sikander Lodi. The
ausoleum originally had four red sandstone gates. Now only the southern gate
is used as the main entrance to the tomb.

Taj Mahal: It is regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and some Western historians have noted that
its architectural beauty has never been surpassed. The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals,
the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its stunning architectural beauty is beyond
adequate description, particularly at dawn and sunset. The Taj seems to glow in the light of the full moon. On a
foggy morning, the visitors experience the Taj as if suspended when viewed from across the Yamuna River. Taj
Mahal was built by a Muslim, Emperor Shah Jahan (died 1666 C.E.) in the memory of his dear wife and Queen
Mumtaz Mahal at Agra, India. It is an "elegy in marble" or some say an expression of a "dream." Taj Mahal
(meaning Crown Palace) is a Mausoleum that houses the grave of Queen Mumtaz Mahal at the lower chamber.
The grave of Shah Jahan was added to it later. The queen’s real name was Arjumand Banu. In the tradition of the
Mughals, important ladies of the royal family were given another name at their marriage or at some other significant
event in their lives, and that new name was commonly used by the public. Shah Jahan's real name was Shahab-
ud-din, and he was known as Prince Khurram before ascending to the throne in 1628. Taj Mahal was constructed
over a period of twenty-two years, employing twenty thousand workers. It was completed in 1648 C.E. at a cost of
32 Million Rupees. The construction documents show that its master architect was Ustad ‘Isa, the renowned Islamic
architect of his time. The documents contain names of those employed and the inventory of construction materials
and their origin. Expert craftsmen from Delhi, Qannauj, Lahore, and Multan were employed. In addition, many
renowned Muslim craftsmen from Baghdad, Shiraz and Bukhara worked on many specialized tasks. The Taj stands
on a raised, square platform (186 x 186 feet) with its four corners truncated, forming an unequal octagon. The
architectural design uses the interlocking arabesque concept, in which each element stands on its own and
perfectly integrates with the main structure. It uses the principles of self-replicating geometry and symmetry of
architectural elements. Its central dome is fifty-eight feet in diameter and rises to a height of 213 feet. It is flanked
by four subsidiary domed chambers. The four graceful, slender minarets are 162.5 feet each. The entire
mausoleum (inside as well as outside) is decorated with inlaid design of flowers and calligraphy using precious
gems such as agate and jasper. The main archways, chiseled with passages from the Holy Qur’an and the bold
scroll work of flowery pattern, give a captivating charm to its beauty. The central domed chamber and four adjoining
chambers include many walls and panels of Islamic decoration. The mausoleum is a part of a vast complex
comprising of a main gateway, an elaborate garden, a mosque (to the left), a guest house (to the right), and several
other palatial buildings. The Taj is at the farthest end of this complex, with the river Jamuna behind it. The large
garden contains four reflecting pools dividing it at the center. Each of these four sections is further subdivided into
four sections and then each into yet another four sections. Like the Taj, the garden elements serve like Arabesque,
standing on their own and also constituting the whole.

Itmad-Ud-Daula: Empress Nur Jehan built Itmad-Ud-Daula's Tomb, sometimes called the Baby Taj, for her father,
Ghias-ud-Din Beg, the Chief Minister of Emperor Jahangir. Located on the left bank of the Yamuna River, the
mausoleum is set in a large cruciform garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways. The mausoleum itself
is set on a base about 50 meters square and about 1 meter high. The mausoleum is about 23 meters square. On
each corner are hexagonal towers, about 13 meters tall. Small in comparison to many other Mughal-era tombs, it is
sometimes described as a jewel box. Its garden layout and use of white marble, pietra dura, inlay designs and
latticework presage many elements of the Taj Mahal. The walls are white marble from Rajasthan encrusted with
semi-precious stone decorations - cornelian, jasper, lapis lazuli, onyx, and topaz in images of cypress trees and
wine bottles, or more elaborate decorations like cut fruit or vases containing bouquets. Light to the interior passes
through delicate jali screens of intricately carved white marble. Many of Nur Jahan's relatives are interred in the
mausoleum. The only asymmetrical element of the entire complex is that the cenotaphs of her father and mother
have been set side-by-side, a formation replicated in the Taj Mahal

Fatehpur Sikri: It is a city and a municipal board in Agra district in the state of
Uttar Pradesh, India. It was the political capital of India's Mughal Empire under
Akbar's reign, from 1571 until 1585, when it was abandoned, ostensibly due to
lack of water. The name of the place came after Mughal Emperor Babur
defeated Rana Sanga in a battle at a place called Khanwa (about 40 KM from
Agra). Then Mughal Emperor Akbar wanted to make Fatehpur Sikri his
headquarters. So he built this majestic fort. But due to shortage of water he had
to ultimately move his headquarters to Agra Fort. Akbar had no child. After the
blessing of Sufi Saint Salim Chisti he was blessed with a male child who
became the heir to his throne, he was named Salim (after the name of Sufi Saint
Salim) who later become Emperor Jahangir. The tomb "Salim Chisti Ka Mazar"
was built in honour of Sufi saint Salim Chishti in 1571 by Mughal emperor Akbar.
Earlier it was built with red sand stone but later converted into beautiful marble mauseleum. This was built much
later the Fatehpur Sikri Fort was built by Akbar.

Mahal is the most stunning sight in the city of Jaipur. The palace, part of a huge
complex, overlooks one of Jaipur's main streets and was originally constructed to

buildings like Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Mukut Mahal, Maharani's
Palace, Shri Govind Dev Temple and the City Palace Museum. One would

costume gallery, which displays royal attires of the Kings. After crossing the first square, a beautiful gateway
welcomes to Diwan-I-Khas, a hall meant for private audience. It has two sterling silver vessels on display and they
are acclaimed to be the world's largest silver vessel. These vessels were made for Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II
to carry water from River Ganga to drink on his trip to England. Diwan-I-Aam, which was meant for public audience,

After breakfast at the hotel, proceed for an excursion to AMBER FORT in the outskirts of Jaipur.
Elephant ride ascent to the fort. In the evening proceed to Chokhi Dhani ,an ethnic village.Return to
the hotel for overnight stay.
Amber Fort: Amber Fort is located in Amber
(Jaipur), which used to be the capital of the
Kachhwaha clan, till Jaipur was made the official
capital in 1727. The Amber Fort looks stunning,
all-built in white marble and red sandstone. To
add to its charm, Maotha Lake makes its
foreground. The crystal mirror image of the Fort,
on the still waters of the lake, seems to be a
beautiful illusion. Amber Fort is usually
pronounced as Amer Fort. In 1592, construction
of the Fort was started by Raja Man Singh I. However, the Amber Fort took its present form during the reign of Raja
Jai Singh I. The outer appearance of the Fort, being rough and craggy is totally different from its core. The interior
of the Fort provides a soothing and warm ambience, which is least expected from its outer appearance. The
marvelous decoration of the Amer Fort is influenced by both, the Hindu and Muslim manner of ornamentation.
Exquisite paintings of hunting scenes on the walls depict the temperament of the Rajputs, who were adventurous,
revolutionary and self-indulgent. The intricate carvings on the walls and ceilings simply astonish the visitors. The
minute mirror work adds to the grand appearance and royalty of the halls. The Amer Fort undoubtedly captivates
the tourists with its artistic quality of delicate work. The mighty walls guarantee the protection of the Fort against the
invasion of the enemies. The Fort is divided into four subparts. Kali Temple, which is also known as Shila Devi
Temple, forms the part of the Fort. It is renowned for its glorious past, huge silver lions and silver doors. The Hall of
Public Audiences, Diwan-I-Aam is a pavilion with double row of columns. Ganesh Pol, another feature of the Fort,
directs the way to the inhabited apartments of the King. The Hall of Victory, Jai Mandir has a stunning ceiling
comprised of mirror work and an inlaid panel. The Fort has numerous other halls and pavilions with their own
specific attraction. The best part of this tourist attraction situated on a crafty hill, is the royal elephant ride. The
flawless beauty of the Fort can be enjoyed royally with an elephant ride. Amber/Amer Fort is the part of Jaipur and
its royalty. A trip to Jaipur would be definitely incomplete, without the visit to this imperial Fort of Amber.
