Day 03 : Delhi - Agra  After breakfast proceed to Agra enroute visiting Sikandra, the mausoleum of emperor Akbar. The tomb is situated in the middle of the garden and four identical red sandstone gates lead to the tomb complex. PM. City sightseeing : Taj Mahal - if there is a building which evokes a country like Eiffel Tower does for France, Sydney Opera House does for Australia then it has to be Taj Mahal for India. It has been described as the most extravagant monument ever built for love, as the emperor was heart broken when Mumtaz died. Agra Fort - the construction of the fort commenced with the emperor Akbar and additions were made right through the time of his grandson Shah Jehan. While in Akbar's time the fort was principally a military structure, by the time of Shah Jehan the emphasis had shifted and the fort became partially a palace. Itimad ud Daula - the tomb was built by Nur Jehan and it is very similar to the tomb of Jehangir near Lahore. Overnight stay at hotel. Day 04 : Agra - Jaipur After breakfast proceed to Jaipur enroute visiting Fatehpur Sikri. Fatehpur Sikri - it was the capital of Mughal empire during the reign of Akbar. Then as suddenly and as dramatically this new city was built, it was abandoned. It is believed to have been abandoned due to lack of water. Today it is perfectly preserved Mughal city at the height of empire's splendour. After the visit proceed to Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary for lunch and a short visit of the famous Bird Sanctuary. Depending on the season there are approx. 150 species of birds. This sanctuary is famous for the migratory birds, the Siberian Cranes. These cranes travel such a long distance and reach here by end of November and remain here till end of March. Overnight stay at hotel. Day 05 : Jaipur  Breakfast at hotel. AM excursion to Amber Fort enroute visiting Palace of Winds - although it is just a facade yet it is Jaipur's central landmark. The five storey building looks out over the main street of the old city. Amber Fort - the fortress-palace was constructed in the end of 16th century by Raja Man Singh, the Rajput Commander of Akbar's army. It was extended and completed by Jai Singh before it was shifted to Jaipur in the plains below. The fort is a superb example of Rajput architecture, stunningly situated on a hillside overlooking a lake which reflects its terraces and ramparts. PM city s/seeing : City Palace - the palace is a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. The former Maharaja still lives in a part of this palace. A part of the palace is converted into a museum. It has an extensive collection of arts, carpets, enamelware and weapons. The paintings include the miniatures from Rajasthani, Mughal and Persian schools. Observatory - or JantarMantar, built by Raja Jai Singh. Of the five observatories he built, this observatory is the largest and the best preserved. At first glance it appears to be just a curious collection of sculptures but in fact each construction has a specific purpose such as measuring the positions of stars, altitude or to calculate eclipses. Overnight stay at hotel. |
