Day 1
Arrive in Delhi and Explore Old and New Delhi
The tour opens in Old Delhi. You start at the Red Fort, one of the largest Mughal structures in India. Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk follow, both busy and worth the time. In the afternoon, you cross to Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO site and direct precursor to the Taj Mahal. Qutab Minar closes the day. You overnight in Delhi.
Agra
Days 2 - 3
Day 2
Delhi to Agra, Agra Fort and Mehtab Bagh
You drive to Agra in the morning, a journey of around three to four hours. Agra Fort fills the afternoon. Built in red sandstone, it looks directly across to the Taj Mahal from its eastern ramparts. At sunset you walk to Mehtab Bagh, a walled garden on the north bank of the Yamuna. The Taj sits directly across the river. You overnight in Agra.
Day 3
Taj Mahal at Sunrise, Drive to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri
You are at the Taj Mahal gates before sunrise. The marble changes colour with the light and the gardens are quiet at that hour. You then drive to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri, a deserted Mughal capital built in sandstone and abandoned within decades of its founding. Jaipur receives you in the evening. You walk through the local markets and overnight in the city.
Jaipur
Days 4 - 5
Day 4
Full Day in Jaipur, Forts, Palaces and Lakes
A full day in Jaipur. You start at Hawa Mahal, the five-storey screen facade built for royal observation of street life below. City Palace follows, still partly occupied by the royal family. Jal Mahal sits in the middle of Man Sagar Lake on the road to Amer. Amer Fort closes the day, a large Rajput complex climbing a ridge above the town. You overnight in Jaipur.
Day 5
Jaipur to Delhi, Drop at Airport or Hotel
You drive back to Delhi. Drop at the airport or hotel on arrival.
