Morning board flight for Delhi . Upon arrival check-in at hotel.

Later proceed for combined sight seeing of Old and New Delhi .

Old Delhi : The gracious Red Fort that looks out towards the Jama Masjid (the largest mosque in India ) and the ever crowded, always busy Chandni Chowk of the erstwhile Mughal period are all waiting to be explored.

Sightseeing of Old Delhi will take you to Visit Jama Mosque, an architectural extravaganza of Shahjehan, drive past Red Fort, a fort that contains within it palaces and impressive public buildings, delicately carved inlaid and marbled Royal Chambers. Raj Ghat, where father of the nation was cremated.

New Delhi : The Imperial city planned for the British by Lutyens is set in parks and shaded avenues with wide boulevards that offer ever-changing perspectives of its Victorian past. The majestic grandeur of Rajpath forms fitting backdrop for the colorful, annual Republic Day Parade. It is surrounded by the buildings of government such as Parliament House, President's House and the Secretariat Buildings at one end and the Imperial India Gate Memorial at the other end.

Sightseeing of New Delhi including Qutab Minar, an 11 th century victory tower that rises to a height of 73 meters. Drive past the Government buildings, Rashtrapati Bhawan , India gate, and Parliament house.

Overnight at hotel.

After buffet breakfast leave for Agra by surface.

AGRA: On the right bank of the River Yamuna, Agra reigns over a glorious past created by warriors as skilled in art and architecture as they were on the battlefield. The city's historical origins before the Mughal conquest are dim and it was practically founded by the Mughal Emperor Babur. To the lover of art and to the traveller seeking the wonders of India , Agra is the goal of a pilgrimage, its shrines being the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

Upon arrival in Agra transfer to hotel. Afternoon leave for the sightseeing of Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

Taj Mahal : Taj Mahal stands on the bank of River Yamuna, which otherwise serves as a wide moat defending the Great Red Fort of Agra, the center of the Mughal emperors until they moved their capital to Delhi in 1637. It was built by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. When Mumtaz Mahal was still alive, she extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that he build the Taj; second, that he should marry again; third, that he be kind to their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He kept the first and second promises. Construction began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. Twenty thousand people were deployed to work on it. The material was brought in from all over India and central Asia and it took a fleet of 1000 elephants to transport it to the site. It was designed by the Iranian architect Ustad Isa and it is best appreciated when the architecture and its adornments are linked to the passion that inspired it. It is a "symbol of eternal love". (TAJ MAHAL IS CLOSED FOR PUBLIC ON FRIDAYS)

Agra Fort : After Taj Mahal proceed for sightseeing of Agra Fort. It represents first major building project of Akbar, though remains of only a few buildings built by him now survive. Built on the site of an earlier castle in AD 1565-75, the fort, apart from other important units,contains Jahangiri Mahal, Khass Mahal, Diwan-i-Khass, Diwan-i-Am, Machchhi Bhawan and Moti Masjid. Many extant buildings were erected by Shah Jahan (AD 1630-55). Irregularly triangular on plan, it is enclosed by a double battlemented massive wall of red sandstone which is about 2 km in perimetre and interrupted by graceful curves and lofty bastions. Of its four gates, the most impressive is the Delhi Gate on the west.

Overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast leave for Jaipur by surface en route visiting “ FATEHPUR SIKRI ”.

Fatehpur Sikri -built by Emperor Akbar in 1569 and abandoned after 15 years due to scarcity of water. See the graceful building including the Jama Masjid. Tomb of Chishti, Panch Mahal and other palaces. After visiting Fatehpur Sikri, leave for Jaipur.

On Arrival in Jaipur, check-in at the hotel.

JAIPUR: Built by Sawai Jai Singh, the city of Jaipur is amongst the first of India 's planned cities. The ancient heart of the Pink City still beats in its fairy tale palaces; rugged fortresses perched on barren hills and broad avenues. Jaipur has a timeless appeal in its colorful bazaars that delights for its Rajasthan handlooms and trinkets.  Beautifully laid out gardens and parks, attractive monuments and marvelous heritage hotels, once the residence of Maharajas, are worth admiration that makes a trip to the pink city a memorable one.

Late afternoon proceed for the City Tour of Jaipur.

City Palace & Museum : The City Palace is now converted into a museum, except a small portion that is still used by the royal family of Jaipur. Built in the fortified campus style, the palace covers almost one-seventh part of the city.

Hawa Mahal : Strange though it may seem, this most famous landmark of Jaipur is not actually a palace but a series of sandstone screens. This pink structure was constructed so that the ladies of the palace could watch the royal processions without being seen by any outsider. This sandstone edifice was named Palace of Winds after the many brass wind vanes that adorned it until 1960s.

Observatory : Sawai Jai Singh, the founder of five observatories in India including this one, was a great admirer of developments in science and technology, especially astronomy. Situated near the gate of the City Palace , the observatory has 18 large instruments, many of them still in working condition.

Overnight at the hotel.

0800 hrs : After breakfast leave for excursion to the Amber Fort , the ancient capital of the state until 1728. 

Afternoon drive to Delhi . Upon arrival transfer to airport to board flight for onward journey.
