Upon arrival at Delhi Airport, embark on a half-day city tour of Delhi. In New Delhi, visit the 11th-century Qutab Minar Tower, constructed by Qutub-ud-din Aibek of the Slave Dynasty, who took control of Delhi in 1206. You’ll also see the India Gate, a tribute to Indian soldiers who lost their lives during the Afghan War, and drive past government buildings including the President’s House and Parliament House, dating back to the British Raj era.

In the early evening, transfer to Agra, approximately a 3-hour drive via expressway.

Day 2: Agra City Tour and Drive to Jaipur (B)

Start your day with a 6am pickup for a sunrise visit to the renowned “monument of love,” The Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (closed on Fridays). After breakfast, explore Agra Fort and then travel to the historic walled city of Jaipur. Founded by Maharaja Jai Singh II, this ‘pink city’ is carefully designed according to the Shilpa-Shastra, an ancient Hindu architectural guide. The city’s historic palaces and forts have witnessed numerous royal processions and grand splendor.

You’ll also have the opportunity to visit Fatehpur Sikri (at your own expense), often described as the world’s most perfectly preserved ghost town. Built by Akbar in the late 16th century, it was abandoned after just 14 years, yet the elegant structures of this remarkable walled city remain intact.

Overnight: Lemon Tree or similar

Day 3: Jaipur City Tour and Drive to Delhi (B)

After breakfast, check out at 8am and visit the Amber Fort, which served as the capital of the Kachhwaha clan until Jaipur became the official capital in 1727. You’ll also see the Hawa Mahal, built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, considered the most beautiful sight in Jaipur.

Following lunch, visit the City Palace, the main residence of the ruling family, renowned for its stunning architecture. Part of the palace has been transformed into a magnificent museum. You’ll also explore Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century stone observatory.

If time allows, you can also explore Jaipur’s cottage industry, known for hand-woven carpets and textiles, and observe the intricate process of making silk carpets by hand.

In the evening, transfer to Delhi for your next destination (at your own flight).
