Golden Triangle Tour - 6 Days

In the morning, our sightseeing begins. We will visit the walled city of Old Delhi, where every
street is buzzing with activity. The influence of the Mughals, who once ruled from the ramparts
of the Red Fort, can be seen extensively.
First, we will visit Jama Masjid – the largest mosque in India, built in the 17th century. Later,
we will drive past to the Red Fort & Raj Ghat, India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhawan
(Presidential Palace), the Parliament House, and other colonial buildings. The early 20th-
century work of Edwin Lutyens, a British architect, prominently features in the colonial
districts.
Finally, visit the famous Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb, a marvellous example of
Persian-inspired Mughal architecture.

Today we drive south to Agra to witness the architectural wonder of the golden age of Mughals.
Upon arrival, you'll be transferred to your hotel for a brief rest. Later we drive to visit the Agra
Fort – a blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture — originally built by the Rajput’s and
renovated from time to time by different Mughal emperors with red sandstone, bricks and the
beautiful marble from Makarana. The Fort can more accurately be described as a walled palatial
city.
After visiting the Agra Fort, we will visit the Taj Mahal at sunset, a symbol of eternal love
that stands on the southern bank of the Yamuna River. It was built by the 5th Mughal Emperor,
Shah Jahan, in the memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died in the 16th century.
The charisma of the Taj Mahal never fails to impress given its beautiful symmetry and white
marble inlays.
We will spend the evening visiting the bazaars, where descendants of the artisans who worked
on the Taj continue to perfect their trade of marble craftsmanship.

In the morning after breakfast you'll leave for Jaipur city with your driver, the colourful capital
of Rajasthan known as the “Pink City”. En-route, we will visit the Fatehpur Sikri, a grand,
deserted, Mughal royal city. The impressive and well-preserved citadel served as Akbar’s
political capital for 14 years until he abandoned it in 1585 following a drought.
Jaipur was the first planned city of its time, with imposing forts, dazzling palaces, and lush
gardens. Today, Jaipur is the gateway to Rajasthan and still remains one of India’s most
important heritage sites, full of historic charm. We will end the day by exploring the colorful
evening markets before getting some rest for a full day of sightseeing tomorrow.

After breakfast, you'll leave for the ancient capital of Amer, 11 km from Jaipur. Famous for its
massive Amber Fort, Amer was the ancient capital of Kachhawaha dynasty for more than half
a millennium. We then proceed to City Palace, a perfect blend of Rajasthani and Mughal
architecture.
Next, we visit Jantar Mantar, an observatory built in the 18th century. Its solar devices can
measure the day’s progression with an error of just 2 seconds, making it an astronomical
treasure that can still accurately make predictions today.
Next, we will also visit Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), a five-storied facade made of pink
sandstone. Built in the year 1799, Hawa Mahal and its discreet windows (Jharokhas) allowed
royal ladies to watch street processions and festivities.

Early in the morning, we'll drive back to Delhi, where you'll be transferred to the International
Airport for your international departure.
