Highlights

Delhi To Agra

Qutub Minar - Qutub Minar, Delhi’s towering monument, epitomizes history and heritage as the world’s tallest brick tower. Its construction spanned four centuries under various rulers. Initially commissioned by Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1192 as a victory tower, the minaret bears his name, though he only completed its first story. Subsequent rulers, including Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, added three more floors in 1220.
The monument faced challenges, with the topmost story damaged by lightning in 1369. Firoz Shah Tughlaq reconstructed it and added the fifth and final story. Sher Shah Suri built the entrance. In 1803, an earthquake caused significant damage, but Major Robert Smith repaired it in 1828. As part of the restoration, he installed a pillared cupola atop the fifth story, preserving the grandeur of this historical landmark.

Lotus Temple - Situated in Delhi, India, the Lotus Temple is a Baháʼí House of Worship, consecrated in December 1986. Recognized for its striking flowerlike architecture, the temple has emerged as a prominent attraction in the city. In alignment with the principles of all Bahá’í Houses of Worship, the Lotus Temple welcomes visitors of all backgrounds, irrespective of religion or any other qualification. (Opened: 13 November 1986)

Humayun’s Tomb - Humayun’s Tomb, commissioned in 1558 and completed in 1572, stands as the final resting place of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. Empress Hamida Banu Begum, Humayun’s chief consort, initiated the construction with the support of her son Akbar. The tomb’s design was entrusted to Persian architects Mirak Mirza Ghiyas and his son, Sayyid Muhammad, chosen by the empress for this monumental project.

Agra To Jaipur

Taj Mahal - Embark on a guided tour of the Taj Mahal city, Agra, commencing with an early morning sunrise visit to the iconic Taj Mahal. The optimal time to witness the Taj Mahal’s splendor is around 5:30 AM in summer or 6:15 AM in winter. Your driver and guide will pick you up from the hotel and transport you to the Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal, an ivory-white marble mausoleum, graces the south bank of the Yamuna River in Agra. Commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, this architectural masterpiece was intended to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Following the Taj Mahal tour, return to the hotel for breakfast and continue your exploration with a visit to the Agra Fort.

Agra Fort - Agra Fort, a historical stronghold situated in the city of Agra, India, was constructed between 1565 and 1573 for the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Initially serving as the primary residence for the rulers of the Sikarwar clan of Rajputs, it later fell under Mughal occupation. The fort continued to be a significant stronghold for the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was relocated from Agra to Delhi.

Fatehpur Sikri - Fatehpur Sikri, a petite city in northern India situated just west of Agra, was established by a 16th-century Mughal emperor. At its core, red sandstone structures create a captivating cluster. The Buland Darwaza gate stands as the entrance to the Jama Masjid mosque, while nearby, the marble Tomb of Salim Chishti exudes timeless elegance. The Diwan-E-Khas hall features a meticulously carved central pillar, and the Jodha Bais Palace harmoniously blends Hindu and Mughal architectural styles. Adjacent to it is the 5-story Panch Mahal, providing a panoramic view of the site.

Jaipur To Delhi

Amber fort - Amer Fort, also known as Amber Fort, is a historic stronghold situated in Amer, Rajasthan, India. Amer is a town covering an area of 4 square kilometers, positioned 11 kilometers from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. Originally constructed by Raja Man Singh, the town of Amer and the Amber Fort underwent further additions by Sawai Jai Singh in later years.

City Palace of Jaipur - The City Palace in Jaipur was founded concurrently with the establishment of the city itself by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. The Maharaja relocated his court from Amber to Jaipur in 1727, marking the initiation of the construction of the City Palace.

Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind - The Hawa Mahal is a distinctive palace located in the city of Jaipur, India. Constructed with red and pink sandstone, it stands on the periphery of the City Palace, Jaipur, and stretches towards the Zenana, or women’s chambers.
