Tour Plan
Arrive & Discover Delhi
Attractions: Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, Raj Ghat, Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, President's House & Parliament (exterior)
Your tour representative picks you up from the airport, railway station, or hotel in Delhi/Noida/Gurgaon. From there, your guide takes over and Delhi doesn't disappoint on day one. Walk the chaotic, colorful lanes of Chandni Chowk, stand in the shadow of the Red Fort's sandstone walls, and end the evening with the quiet beauty of the Lotus Temple. Overnight in Delhi.
Drive to Agra, Visit the Taj Mahal
Attractions: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh
You'll leave early for Agra about 210 km via the expressway, roughly a 2 hour 45 minute drive. After checking in and freshening up, head straight to the Taj Mahal. No photograph prepares you for the real thing. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this 17th-century white marble masterpiece still leaves people awestruck. Afterward, explore the commanding Agra Fort, then catch the sunset over the Taj from the Mehtab Bagh gardens across the river. Overnight in Agra.
Note: The Taj Mahal closes on Fridays.
Agra to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri
Attractions: Fatehpur Sikri (en route), City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal
Today's drive to Jaipur includes a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a 16th-century Mughal city abandoned shortly after construction, now preserved in eerie, magnificent stillness. On arrival in Jaipur, check into your hotel, then explore the City Palace (a stunning blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture), the Jantar Mantar observatory, and the iconic Hawa Mahal, the five-storey "Palace of Winds" designed so royal women could observe street life unseen. Overnight in Jaipur.
Jaipur Sightseeing
Attractions: Amber Fort, Jal Mahal (Water Palace)
After breakfast, ride an elephant up to the magnificent Amber Fort, perched on a hillside with sweeping views over Jaipur below. It's one of those experiences that genuinely earns its place on every travel bucket list. In the afternoon, you're free to explore Jaipur's colorful bazaars at your own pace. Block-printed textiles, gemstones, and blue pottery are local specialties worth seeking out. Overnight in Jaipur.
Departure
Morning transfer to Jaipur Airport for onward flights, or drive back to Delhi for international departures. The cities will keep replaying in your head long after you land home.
This itinerary is fully customizable around your flight schedule just let us know when you arrive and depart.
