Built in honor of the 90,000 Indian soldiers who died in World War I and other conflicts, this massive stone arch stands proudly in the heart of the city. It’s a popular spot where both locals and tourists gather to relax and enjoy the views.
Next, you’ll head to Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. With its capacity to hold 25,000 worshippers, the mosque’s stunning red sandstone and marble structure is truly remarkable. Situated on a raised platform, it offers stunning views of Old Delhi and gives you a glimpse into the city’s rich Islamic heritage
Your first stop is the stunning Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an early example of Mughal architecture. This grand mausoleum, made of red sandstone and white marble, is set in beautifully manicured gardens. As you explore, you’ll learn how it inspired the design of the Taj Mahal and admire the intricate details of this architectural marvel.
Next, head to the Qutub Minar, another UNESCO-listed site. This towering brick minaret, standing at 72 meters, is one of the tallest structures of its kind in the world. Your guide will share its rich history, explaining how it was built in the 12th century as a symbol of Muslim dominance and victory in India. The craftsmanship and the significance of the monument are sure to leave you in awe.
Afterward, experience the tranquility of the Lotus Temple, a Bahá'í House of Worship shaped like a blooming lotus flower. Its striking white marble petals and peaceful surroundings provide the perfect setting for meditation. Open to people of all faiths, this is a place where you can enjoy a few moments of quiet reflection, far from the noise of the city
No visit to Old Delhi is complete without a walk through Chandni Chowk, one of the busiest and most vibrant markets in the city. This bustling street is a feast for the senses, with vendors selling everything from spices to traditional clothing. You can even opt for an exhilarating bicycle rickshaw ride through the narrow lanes, getting a closer look at the heart of the market.
End your day with a peaceful visit to Raj Ghat, the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi. Situated by the Yamuna River, this simple black-marble platform marks the spot where Gandhi was cremated following his assassination. The serene surroundings offer a moment of reflection and reverence for the Father of the Nation.
Day 2: Delhi to Agra & Agra Sightseeing
In the evening, head to Mehtab Bagh, a beautiful garden complex located directly across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal. This peaceful garden is the perfect spot to enjoy a serene sunset view of the Taj Mahal, where its reflection shimmers in the river. The tranquil surroundings and the picturesque view make Mehtab Bagh an ideal location for a peaceful escape and some stunning photography, away from the crowds.
After soaking in the beauty of the Taj Mahal, head to Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This imposing red sandstone fort was built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar and served as the residence of Mughal emperors until the capital was moved to Delhi. As you walk through its massive gates and courtyards, you’ll discover the fort’s rich history. Explore highlights such as the Jahangir Mahal, the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), and the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience). Each area offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Mughal rulers and their grand architectural achievements.
Day 3: Sunrise at Taj Mahal, Drive to Jaipur via Abhaneri
Start your day early with a sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal, where the monument is bathed in the soft, golden light of the morning. The early hours offer a peaceful, serene atmosphere, and the Taj’s marble surfaces glow beautifully under the first rays of the sun. As you walk around the majestic mausoleum, you’ll notice the delicate carvings and reflective pools come to life in the quiet morning air. It’s truly a magical experience, and the stillness of the early morning makes it a memorable moment. Afterward, return to your hotel for a well-deserved breakfast.
After exploring Fatehpur Sikri, continue your drive to Jaipur, the vibrant Pink City. Upon arrival, check into your hotel, where you can relax and unwind after a full day of sightseeing and travel
After breakfast, begin your journey to Jaipur, but first, make a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former Mughal capital. Fatehpur Sikri is an architectural wonder, built by Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century. As you explore this historic city, you’ll discover its intricate blend of Mughal and Persian architecture. Key highlights include the Buland Darwaza (the grand gateway), the Jama Masjid, and the Panch Mahal, a stunning five-story palace that offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. Fatehpur Sikri was once a thriving city, but it was abandoned due to water shortages, and now it stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Mughal era.
Day 4: Full Day Jaipur Sightseeing
Start your day with a visit to Amber Fort, one of Jaipur's most iconic landmarks. Located on a hilltop about 11 kilometers from the city center, this majestic fort is a masterpiece of Rajput architecture. Built from pale yellow and pink sandstone, Amber Fort is known for its vast courtyards, intricate gardens, and opulent rooms. As you make your way up to the fort, you can opt for a traditional elephant ride or a jeep ride, both of which add to the experience of exploring this royal citadel. The views from the top of the fort are nothing short of spectacular, offering a panoramic look at the surrounding landscape.
After Amber Fort, head to Jal Mahal, a stunning palace that appears to float gracefully in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. The origins of this palace are a bit unclear, but it’s believed to have been renovated and expanded by Maharaja Jai Singh II. Its picturesque setting and reflection in the water make it one of Jaipur's most photographed spots. Although the palace itself is not open to the public, the sight of it from the shore is breathtaking, offering the perfect opportunity to capture a memorable photo
Next, continue to Hawa Mahal, often referred to as the "Palace of Winds." This striking five-story structure, built in 1799, is one of Jaipur's most recognizable landmarks. Its honeycomb-like design, adorned with hundreds of windows (or "jharokhas"), was created to allow royal women to observe street processions without being seen by the public. The building’s delicate latticework and unique design make it one of the most photographed sites in the city, so be sure to stop for a picture!
Your next stop is the City Palace, the former residence of Jaipur’s royal family. A blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architectural styles, the City Palace is a sprawling complex filled with beautiful courtyards, lush gardens, and fascinating museums. As you wander through the palace’s elegant halls and rooms, you’ll get a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of the royal family. The intricate architecture, vibrant colors, and detailed designs make the City Palace one of the most captivating places in Jaipur.
Next, visit the Jantar Mantar Observatory, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s home to a collection of massive, ancient astronomical instruments. Built in the 18th century, these instruments were designed to track the stars, measure time, and observe the movements of celestial bodies. It’s an extraordinary site where science and architecture beautifully converge. Walking among these giant, stone instruments is like stepping back in time to an era of scientific discovery.
Finally, end your day with a visit to the Monkey Temple (Galtaji), an ancient Hindu pilgrimage site nestled in the Aravalli Hills. Surrounded by granite cliffs, the temple complex features several sacred pools, which are often home to groups of monkeys. It’s a peaceful and serene place, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The temples are dedicated to the Hindu deity Surya, and the complex’s spiritual atmosphere makes it a tranquil escape from the bustling city.
Day 5: Jaipur to Delhi Drop-off
On your final day, enjoy a relaxed morning at your hotel before driving back to Delhi (4-5 hrs).
