|
|
|
| Morning
drive to Agra ( 4HRS drive ) . On arrival check at hotel
. Afternoon you will proceed for tour of the Taj Mahal
(closed on Fridays). The Taj
Mahal is everything that has been said about
it and more. Taking 22 years and 20,000 men to build,
the white marble was quarried 200 miles away and was |
 |
|
| transported to the
site by a fleet of 1000 elephants. Built by the Mughal Emperor
Shah Jahan as an expression of his love for his wife Mumtaz
Mahal, in mid 17th century, the Taj Mahal is truly one of the
wonders of the world. Though the Taj appears to be amazingly
perfect from almost any angle, it is the close-up marble inlay
work, which is really astounding. You will have ample time to
view and be mesmerized by this outstanding piece of architecture.
Also |
 |
visit
the Agra Fort, an outstanding example
of Mughal architecture. Agra Fort - the seat and the stronghold
of the Mughal Empire under successive generations. This
was the seat of Mughal rule and administration and the
present structure owes its origins to Akbar who erected
the walls and |
|
gates and the first
buildings on the eastern banks of Yamuna River. Shah Jehan added
the impressive quarters and the mosque while Aurangzeb added
the outer ramparts. Visit its Hall of Public Audience and its
Royal Pavilions.

| Jaipur's
past is never too far from hand. The city of victory,
Jaipur presides over the fascinating desert state and
its people: surrounded by rugged hills, each crowned by
a formidable fort; and beautiful palaces, mansions and
gardens dotted throughout its precincts. The palaces and
forts of |
 |
|
| yesteryear that were
witness to royal processions and splendour are now living monuments,
accepted quite naturally into the lifestyles of the people of
the "pink city". Except for the busy traffic
of bicycles, cars and buses, little seems to have changed.
There is a timeless quality to Jaipur's bazaars and its people.
With its historical past, Jaipur revives legends of the ancient
Rajputs. The dresses of the women and the turbans of the
men add colour to this fascinating city. |
 |
Jaipur
City Tour the City Palace in the heart
of Jaipur is known for its blend of Rajasthani and Mughal
architecture. Not far away is the Central
Museum with its large collection of woodwork,
jewellery, costumes, brassware, and pottery. Another monument
near the City Palace, Jantar Mantar,
is the |
|
largest of the five
observatories built by Sawai Jai Singh. The Hawa Mahal or the
Palace of Winds was constructed for the royal ladies to watch
the royal processions without being seen. Amber Fort,
situated just outside the city, is perhaps the most beautiful
example of Rajasthani forts and gives a grand view of the city
down below. Other attractions include the Jaigarh Fort,
Birla Mandir, and Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh.
