5-Day Private Tour of Delhi, the
Taj Mahal (Agra) & Rajasthan (Jaipur) - Operates
Daily (except Thursday)
After arrival in Delhi airport we will
be met and transferred to our hotel. Later that afternoon, we
enjoy a half-day tour of some of the major sights of India's capital city - we visit the
bazaars and ancient Mughal monuments of Old Delhi as well as some of the imposing modern
buildings of New Delhi, designed by the British architect Lutyens.
The next day we will be transferred by road to Agra, another ancient Mughal city
and the location of the famous Taj Mahal. The spectacular beauty of this awesome monument
of one man's love for his wife can hardly be described in words. Later, we visit some of
the other major sights of Agra. Stay overnight at the Clarks Hotel (Silver) or the JP
Palace Hotel (Gold).
We enjoy an early visit to the Taj Mahal basking in the glow of the morning sun;
later, we visit the impressive Agra Fort and drive to Fatehpur Sikri, another ancient
Mughal city which was abandoned after only 13 years of settlement when the groundwater ran
out. Continue by road to Jaipur in Rajasthan, also known as the Pink City, due to
the sandstone facades of buildings here.
A full day of sightseeing awaits us
today. We start off with an excursion to the Amber fort outside Jaipur, the final stretch
of the journey being covered by an elephant ride, exactly like the former Maharajahs used
to do. Later, we visit the City Palace, Jantar Mantar Observatory, Ram Niwas Gardens and
Palace of the Winds with its exquisite facade.
The morning is free for us to enjoy in
Jaipur on our own - we can stroll around the colorful street markets with their myriad
photo opportunities, or go shopping or do some more sightseeing . Late this
afternoon we will be transferred by road back to Delhi and directly to the airport for our
onward flight. |
