Exploring Delhi (Guided Sightseeing Tour)

Return to the hotel in the evening to relax.

Red Fort - A historic monument in Delhi, named for the red sandstone used in its construction by the Mughals. Originally a ceremonial site for royals, it remains a venue for political and national events. Built in 1639 by the fifth Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as the palace of his fortified capital Shahjahanabad, the Red Fort is known for its massive red sandstone walls and is adjacent to the older Salimgarh Fort, built by Islam Shah Suri in 1546 AD. The imperial apartments feature a series of pavilions connected by a water channel called the Stream of Paradise.

Chandni Chowk - One of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi, India, located near Old Delhi Railway Station. The Red Fort is situated within the market. Built in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and designed by his daughter Jahanara, the market was once divided by canals to reflect moonlight and remains one of India’s largest wholesale markets. Its history dates back to the founding of Shahjahanabad when Emperor Shah Jahan established the Red Fort beside his new capital. Chandni Chowk is also a haven for food enthusiasts, offering local delicacies like Babu Ram Paranthe Wala, Old Famous Jalebi Wala, Kuremal Ki Kulfi, Natraj Dahi Bhalla, and more.

Humayun’s Tomb - This splendid garden tomb is the first significant example of Mughal architecture in India. Built in 1565 A.D., nine years after Humayun’s death, by his senior widow Bega Begam, the tomb features garden squares (chaharbagh) with pathways and water channels, a centrally located mausoleum topped by a double dome, and several graves of Mughal rulers. In 1857 A.D., Lieutenant Hudson captured the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah II here.

Rashtrapati Bhavan - The residence of the President of the world’s largest democracy, symbolizing India’s strength, democratic traditions, and secular character. Designed by Sir Lutyens, the H-shaped building covers 5 acres on a 330-acre estate. The mansion boasts 340 rooms over four floors, 2.5 kilometers of corridors, and 190 acres of gardens. Thousands of laborers, including masons, carpenters, artists, carvers, and cutters, contributed to its completion in 1929.

India Gate - Located opposite Rashtrapati Bhavan, at the heart of New Delhi, stands the 42-meter-high India Gate, an “Arc-de-Triomphe”-like archway at a crossroads. Similar to its French counterpart, it honors the 70,000 Indian soldiers who died fighting for the British Army during World War I. The memorial lists the names of over 13,516 British and Indian soldiers killed on the North Western Frontier in the Afghan War of 1919.

Qutub Minar - A towering 73-meter-high victory tower, built in 1193 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak after defeating Delhi’s last Hindu kingdom. The tower has five distinct storeys, each with a projecting balcony, tapering from a 15-meter diameter at the base to 2.5 meters at the top. The first three storeys are made of red sandstone, while the fourth and fifth are of marble and sandstone. At the tower’s base is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, India’s first mosque. An inscription over its eastern gate provocatively states it was built with materials from 27 demolished Hindu temples. A 7-meter-high iron pillar stands in the mosque’s courtyard, and legend says encircling it with your hands while standing with your back to it will fulfill your wish.

Delhi to Agra (By Road) and Guided Sightseeing Tour in Agra

Agra - After breakfast, check out from the hotel and drive to Agra. Upon arrival, check in to a pre-booked hotel.

Taj Mahal - Located in the historic city of Agra, the Taj Mahal is known as the “symbol of love,” built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Each year, more visitors than Agra’s entire population pass through its magnificent gates to glimpse this breathtaking monument. Described by Rabindranath Tagore as “a teardrop on the cheek of eternity,” the Taj Mahal is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Covering over 60 bighas, it was constructed using white marble from Makrana in Rajasthan.

Agra Fort - Built by Emperor Akbar on the Yamuna River’s west bank, Agra Fort dominates the city’s center. The crescent-shaped fort has a 20-meter-high, 2.4-kilometer-long outer wall containing a maze of buildings forming a small city within a city. Notable sites within the fort include the Diwan-i-Aam (hall of public audience), Diwan-i-Khas (hall of private audience), Musamman Burj (octagonal tower), Khas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace), and Anguri Bagh (Grape Garden). The fort’s impressive red sandstone structure appears strong and invincible. While commonly believed to be built by Mughal Emperor Akbar and developed by his heirs, the fort was originally a small fortress constructed by a Hindu warlord in the 5th century, recognizing Agra’s strategic importance on the Yamuna River.

Akbar had previously visited Sikri village to consult Sufi saint Shaikh Salim Chishti, who foretold the birth of a Mughal heir.
