Tour Details

Detailed Itinerary

Enjoy some of northern India’s most impressive historic places during this 3 days private trip combining independent sightseeing and a transfer between Jaipur and Agra. Visit the Chand Baori 'stepwell' in Abhaneri and explore three of India's most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Fatehpur Sikri, the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, traveling aboard an air-conditioned car.

Day 01: Jaipur – Agra

You will be picked up from your preferred location or hotel in Jaipur in an air-conditioned car to proceed towards Agra. On the way to Agra we shall stop at Abhaneri village where you will visit Chand Baori, an ancient hidden stepwell. The step wells are unique in this part of the world and were used for storage of water by rainwater harvesting. They also served as pools for ritual cleansing before entering a temple. Our next stop is Fatehpur Sikri, the best preserved Mughal Palace city in India which was built by Akbar in 16th century. He used the best craftsmen in the country to build the city but, unfortunately, had to abandon it a few years later after the water system failed. After exploring the fort, proceed to Agra and check–in  at the hotel for overnight stay.

Day 02: Agra Sightseeing Tour

In the morning, we begin exploring the city of Agra, first visiting one of the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World, "Taj Mahal". It is a mausoleum built by Shah Jahan for his beloved Mumtaz Mahal. It took no less than 22 years to build this architectural wonder and was finally completed in the year 1653. The interiors of Taj Mahal are adorned with highest quality inlay work incorporating semi–precious stones. Taj Mahal is undoubtedly a treat to your eyes and spectacle to watch. Then visit Agra Fort which had been the seat of power of the Mughal dynasty for many centuries. The huge awe–inspiring facades of the fort are a symbol of strength, power and resilience of the might empire. The view of Taj Mahal from the fort is also unforgettable. Later we continue our Agra tour and visit Sikandra, the tomb of great Akbar. It is interesting to note that the emperor himself chose the site of his tomb and started the construction although it was later completed by his son, Jahangir. This is made of red sandstone with fine inlay work of marble. After city tour of Agra, return to hotel for overnight stay.

Day 03: Agra – Jaipur

After breakfast, it is time to return to Jaipur. On arrival at Jaipur, you will be dropped at your preferred location or hotel. Cherish the memories of this Agra day tour for all the years to come.
