Jaipur is located on a dry lakebed, surrounded by barren hills conquered by forts and fragmented walls. The city was established in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, who aimed to stay in the favor of the ruling Mughals at the time. He designed the city with rectangular blocks following early Hindu architectural principles. Jaipur is an excellent destination for shopping. Overnight in Jaipur.

Day 6 March 5th 2026 Jaipur - Agra After breakfast, we set off on our journey to Agra, with a stop at Fatehpur Sikri for a guided tour of this ancient capital. Fatehpur Sikri, located about 35 km from Agra, was the deserted capital of Emperor Akbar. Built in the 16th century, it was abandoned after 12 years due to water scarcity. The entire city remains intact, offering a memorable sight. The Buland Darwaza, standing 54 meters tall, serves as the main entrance and was constructed to commemorate Akbar's victory in Gujarat. We then arrive in Agra, situated on the banks of the Yamuna River, home to India's iconic monument, the Taj Mahal. Agra was the capital of the Mughal Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries. We will visit the majestic Taj Mahal at sunset and spend the night in Agra. Overnight in Agra.
