Day 06: Jaipur - Agra
The day begins with an early breakfast after which we drive to Agra via Fatehpur Sikri (approx 5-6 Hrs). Fatehpur Sikri is the deserted 16th century Mughal town famous for its Bulund Darwaza (the highest gateway in the world) and the Tomb of Sheikh Salim Chisti- a renowned Sufi saint of India. From there we continue our journey to Agra and check into a hotel on arrival.
The afternoon is filled with a bedazzling tour of the world-renowned Taj Mahal, the epitome of love, which has aptly found a place of honor among the �Seven Wonders of the World�. After a short lunch break at the Hotel visit the magnificent Agra Fort, built by Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1565.
Overnight stay will be at the hotel.
Day 07: Agra - Delhi
Jump-start your day with a power breakfast after which we drive to Delhi (200 Km- 4 Hrs). Check into a Hotel on arrival and enjoy the rest of the day on a sightseeing tour of Delhi. With both Old and New Delhi to cover, divide your day trip to pre and post lunch. Begin with an excursion around the Old Delhi. Top tourist attractions here are Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and the effervescent Chandani Chowk, the main street of Old Delhi and a lively shopping bazaar. Take an exciting Cycle Rickshaw ride through the busy lanes of the Chandni Chowk.
The architectural genius of the famous English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869- 1944) is amply reflected in the ingenious design and frame work of New Delhi famous for its wide, tree-lined avenues, parks, skylines and historical monuments. The top must see places on your itinerary of New Delhi should be the Rashtrapati Bhawan (the official residence of the Indian President), India Gate - a 42 m high stone memorial arch, the Qutub Minar built in 12th century, the mid-16th century Humayun's Tomb and the famous Lotus Temple in New Delhi.
