Post breakfast, proceed for a full-day tour of Old and New Delhi. This fascinating city has been in existence since the 6^th century BC. Visit Jama Masjid, which is the largest mosque in India, commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan. The courtyard of the mosque can hold about 25,000 worshippers. Enjoy a rickshaw ride in Chandni Chowk, the busiest market in Old Delhi…noisy, chaotic and uniquely Indian. You will then visit the Red Fort, which was constructed during the rule of Emperor Shah Jahan and served as the residence for the Mughal royal family. It continues to be significant till date, as every Independence Day, the Prime Minister makes a speech from its ramparts as the Indian flag is hoisted. Later, drive past India Gate, President House and several other government buildings in Edwin Lutyen’s Delhi before you head towards Rajghat, the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. This simple memorial marks the spot where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated in 1948. Thereafter, visit Humayun’s Tomb, commissioned by Humayun’s wife in 1562. It was the first garden tomb built in the Indian sub-continent where the Persian architect used red sandstone on a large scale. Later in the evening visit the Qutab Minar, which is the tallest brick minaret in the world, commissioned by the first Muslim ruler of Delhi. Stay overnight at Delhi.

Visit one of the 7 wonders of the world – the Taj Mahal, a mausoleum built as a symbol of Emperor Shah Jahan’s devotion to his beloved queen Mumtaz Mahal. Considered an architectural marvel, its construction took thousands of workers over 21 years to complete.

Later come back to hotel for breakfast , After breakfast we exit Agra and drive to Jaipur, the opening to Rajasthan’s rough and jagged landscapes, picturesque cities and extravagant palaces and forts. En route, we make a stop at the desolate city of Fatephur Sikri. This city was constructed in 1659 by Emperor Akbar. A mere 14 years later all of its magnificent palaces and courtyards were abandoned but remain as testimony to a once inhabited city. Here you will find the tomb of Shaik Salim Chisti who foretold the birth of Jehangir Akbar’s son the imperial Jami Masjid. The Panch Mahal, an unusual looking building that bears some resemblance to a Buddhist Temple, the Pachchisi (board game), that is surfaced with white and black and the place where the Emperor used slave girls as figurines to play chess as well as a protected courtyard used as the Hall of Public Audience.

Further along the journey to Jaipur, we make a diversion off the road to Abhaneri village, where we behold the lovely landscape of an Indian village. It is here that we visit a 10th century Step well Chand Baori on 11 levels and with a depth of some 20 meters. There are a variety of temples, rooms and stone sculptures that are carved in detail. As you will discover on your Rajasthan trip, it is a very dry place and these step-wells played a significant role historically, by serving as a retreat in parched times, being a spot for socializing and of course an important source of water. The unique step-wells also known as the baori of Rajasthan were creatively designed to assist in the harvesting of rain water. In the village of Abhaneri there are also some small temples and palaces. Mud huts are home to the warm and friendly locals. Continue your drive to Jaipur!

Jaipur is a perfect mix of the charm and appeal of the former years, along with the lively and energetic present. It’s a textile lover’s paradise, replete with some of the best textile printers, artists, potters and dealers of antiques anywhere in the world. The foresight of Raja Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur, was a significant factor in Jaipur’s success. Thought to be quite extraordinary in his thinking and one who mixed his power with wisdom, this astronomer and scholar had a sharp eye for beauty. As he built Jaipur, he looked way beyond the magnificence of architectural design and incorporated even the expansive desert lands, beneath the previous capital Amber and constructed the first planned city in India. Its uniqueness still continues even after 250 years. Jai Singh’s vision for Jaipur was actualized and it became a haven for religion and commerce. With the solid foundation set by this visionary, it is now a city where great potential and possibilities of growth and change, fueled by outstanding traditions exist and has expanded itself far beyond its borders and the pink cracked walls. Overnight in Jaipur!
