Saved to wishlist!
Depart your chosen Jaipur location early by private, air-conditioned car or minivan (depending on size of your group) for your approximately 4-hour journey to Agra.
On route, visit UNESCO-protected Fatehpur Sikri, a 16th-century red-sandstone city built by the Emperor Akbar before being abandoned. After a short shuttle bus ride, delve into this fortified masterpiece, learning how it served as the Mughal capital between 1572 and 1585.
Following a roughly 60-minute onward journey to Agra and time to freshen up, head to the Taj Mahal. Stroll through the gardens to see this 17th-century mausoleum, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Marvel at the shimmering white-marble domes and minaret-style towers as you discover the love story behind its creation.
After lunch at a quality restaurant, continue to Agra Fort, another must-see. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 AD, this vast fortress-palace contains royal chambers and courtyards within its red-sandstone walls.
Tour the fort’s highlights, each resonant of an episode of Mughal history, and then finish with shopping time at Agra’s bazaars, scouting for its famous marble and soft stone inlay work, embroidery, leatherware, or jewelry.
Your tour ends with a drop-off anywhere you wish in Jaipur.
