|---|---|
| Duration | 15 Nights / 16 Days |
Day 01 Reach Delhi
GARHWAL HIMALAYAN EXPEDITION local tour manager will give a warm welcome
at the airport. Transfer to your hotel. Relax.
India's capital and a major gateway to the country, contemporary delhi is
a bustling metropolis which successfully combines in its fold the ancient
and the modern. Its strategic location was one of the prime reasons why
successive dynasties chose it as their seat of power. It is not surprising
then, that what constitutes delhi is a conglomerate of seven cities. Down
the ages the region in and around modern delhi saw lalkot built in the mid
11th century, siri established by allauddin khilji, tughlakabad and
ferozabad built by the tughlaks followed by the city of the lodhis and
then came shahjahanabad, capital of the mughals under shah jehan. Newdelhi
also reflects the legacy the british left behind. The division between new
and old delhi is the distinction between the capitals of the british and
the mughals respectively. So, wherever the visitor goes he will invariably
confront the city's past.
Stay at Imperial hotel or Manor Hotel

once the most opulent fort and palace of the Moghul Empire.
Cycle rickshaw ride from Jama Masjid to Chandni Chowk.

Day 03 Delhi - Agra
By road covering 201 km in 4hr.
Proceed by surface for Agra after breakfast. ENROUTE VISIT
SIKANDRA.
Reach Agra and check into hotel.
Badal Singh established the city of Taj in 1475. Agra finds mention in
the Mahabharat as Agraban. This city in those days was considered to be
the sister-city of Mathura, which was more prominent than Agraban. Agra
came into its own when the Lodhi Kings chose this place beside the RIVER
YAMUNA to be their capital city. Sikander Lodhi made Agra his capital but
Babar defeated the Lodhis to capture not only Agra but also laid the
foundation of the Mughal empire.
The coming of Babar heralded a new era, which was to see Agra at its
zenith during the reign of Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan. It was during
Akbar's period that Agra became the center of art, culture and commerce
and learning. This trend reached its height when Shah Jahan became the
ruler.
In the Mid 16th century and earlier
17th century Agra witnessed a frenzied building activity and it was during
this time when the symbol of love Taj Mahal was built. The buildings made
during this era were purely in the contemporary Mughal style and of very
high quality. The same is still reflected in whatever monuments remain in
Agra. The narrow lanes of Agra filled with aroma of Mughlai cuisine, the
craftsman who are busy in crating master pieces with their skill all
remind of the Mughal royalty which this city had once experienced. Today
whatever remains, has become a major tourist attraction which has taken
Agra again to the heights of glory but this time as a major tourist
destination of India.
Proceed for sightseeing.
Visit the TAJ MAHAL - one of
the Seven Wonders of the World was built by Shah Jahan in 1631 AD and was
completed in 1651AD. Taj Mahal - The symbol of Love was built in the
memory of Mumtaz Mahal (Shah Jahan' s second Wife).
AGRA FORT - Built by the famed Mughal emperor Akbar in
1565 AD, the fort is predominantly of red sandstone. Ensconced within is
the picture perfect Pearl Mosque, which is a major tourist attraction.
Shopping or relax in the evening. Overnight at Agra.
Day 04 Agra - Jaipur - By road.

JAIPUR - The origins of the beautiful city of Jaipur
can be traced back to the eighteenth century, during the reign of Jai
Singh II who ascended the Amber throne in 1699. Jaipur today, epitomizes
the spirit of Rajputana. In-spite of growing into a bustling metropolis,
it still retains it's character and history - Beautiful fusion of the
yesteryears and modernity. Popularly known as the Pink City because of the
extensive use of the locally abundant pink plastered stone, painted so in
