Day 2

NEW DELHI - TAJ MAHAL - AGRA FORT - AGRA (B,L,D)
After breakfast, proceed to Agra where we will visit Taj Mahal. For centuries, Taj Mahal has inspired poets, painters and musicians to try and capture its elusive magic in word, colour and song. It is one of the most flawless architectural creations of the world.

Next, visit Agra Fort which was built principally as a military establishment by Akbar in 1565. The red sandstone Agra fort was partially converted into a palace during Shah Jahan's time. Though the principal structure was built by Akbar, many more additions were made by his grandsons. This massive fort is 2.5 kms long and is considered as the predecessor of the Delhi Red fort. The colossal walls are 20 feet high and the whole fort is encircled by a fetid moat.

Day 3

AGRA - FATEHPUR SIKRI - CITY PALACE - JAIPUR (B,L,D)
After breakfast, visit Fatehpur Sikri, one of the finest examples of Mughal architectural splendour at its height. Though the city is in ruins, it is definitely a place to visit if you have the opportunity to stop in Agra. But in real terms Fatehpur Sikri is a place where one should spend some time. The sunset over the ruins is sight to cherish. Fatehpur Sikri is the best example of the culmination of Hindu and Muslim architecture.

Thereafter we proceed to Jaipur where we visit The City Palace complex which houses several palatial structures. Among the various forts and palaces of Jaipur, City Palace stands apart, with its outstanding art and architecture. City Palace complex covers a huge area, which is divided into a series of gardens, courtyards and buildings. The first building is Mubarak Rahal, built by Maharajah Macho Sigh. It has a beautifully carved marble gate with heavy brass doors on either side of this gate. Beyond this gate lies the Divan-e-Khans, or the "Hall of Private Audience".

Day 4

JAIPUR - AMBER FORT - ELEPHANT RIDE - BIRLA TEMPLE (B,L,D)
After breakfast, visit Amber Fort which is a very beautiful structure and well-preserved 16th century fort built on four levels surrounded by ruins. Among the many splendour of the fort is a small room with ceiling covered by tiny mirrors.

Go for a ride on an elephant to the former capital of the Royals set against the backdrop of the wooded hills.

Next, visit Birla Temple which is built by the Birla family in 1988. The Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Narayan), the preserver and his consort Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. This reason, Birla Temple is also known as Laxmi Narayan Temple.

The Laxmi Narayan Mandir is a modern architectural marvel, surrounded by lush green gardens. The fascinating exteriors of the temple are carved splendidly with beautiful sculptures based of mythological themes, while the interiors have a large marble panel portraying mythological events.
