Your tour kicks off in the capital city, Delhi, where ancient monuments and colonial charm coexist with modern developments. On Day 1, you’ll explore the highlights of Old Delhi such as Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, and Red Fort—steeped in Mughal history.

On Day 2, after breakfast, you head to Agra, the city of love and legacy. The drive along the Yamuna Expressway is comfortable and scenic. Upon reaching Agra, the first stop is the majestic Agra Fort, a red sandstone masterpiece that once served as the residence of the Mughal emperors. In the evening, you’ll visit the Mehtab Bagh for a stunning sunset view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River—ideal for photos and a peaceful moment away from crowds.

Day 3 starts with a magical sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a true marvel of Mughal architecture. Built by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj is breathtaking in the early morning light. After the visit, you’ll also explore the Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb, also known as the “Baby Taj,” for its intricate marble design and peaceful atmosphere.

Next, you’ll proceed to Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan. En route, you’ll stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the former capital of the Mughal Empire. This UNESCO-listed ghost city is known for its stunning red sandstone buildings and historical importance. By evening, you’ll reach Jaipur, the Pink City, and check into your hotel for a relaxing night.

Day 4 is all about exploring Jaipur’s royal heritage. Start your day with Amber Fort, a hilltop fortress known for its majestic courtyards, mirrored halls, and panoramic views. You can reach the top by elephant ride or jeep. Continue to visit the City Palace, still home to the royal family, and the fascinating Jantar Mantar observatory. Don’t miss the iconic Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds, with its lattice windows and vibrant façade. The day ends with shopping in Jaipur’s colorful bazaars—perfect for picking up textiles, gemstones, and handcrafted souvenirs.

On Day 5, after breakfast, you’ll drive back to Delhi. Depending on your flight or train schedule, you may have time for some final sightseeing or a relaxed lunch before your memorable journey comes to an end.
