This morning, drive to Agra, home to India’s most famous landmark: the incomparable Taj Mahal!
Lunch on arrival in Agra followed by the visit of the Taj Mahal (closed on Friday).
The Taj Mahal was constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaj Mahal who died during the birth of her child in 1631. The construction is said to have taken 22 years to complete, starting from 1631, with over 20,000 craftsmen working round the clock.
Take all your time to enjoy this outstanding monument.
Continue with the visit of the Red Fort of Agra, a great monument made of red stones.
Departure this morning for the pink city: Jaipur !
En-route stop at Fatehpur Sikri, the deserted capital of Emperor Akbar approximately 35 kms outside Agra. Built in the 16th century, this city was abandoned 12 years later due to a scarcity of water. The entire city of Red sand stone (sand stone palaces and temples) remains intact.
The site is fully accessible thanks to soft access ramps.
Continue to Jaipur. Check-in at your hotel and diner.
Morning excursion to Amber Fort. Amber was once the ancient capital of Jaipur state. The Fort is a superb example of Rajput architecture, stunningly situated on a hillside and overlooking a lake, which reflects its terraces and ramparts.
This afternoon you will visit the City Palace which is still the home of the former royalty Bhawani Singh Ji of Jaipur housing an extensive collection of art, carpets and old weapons.
Continue to visit Jantar Mantar: the Observatory. At first glance, Jantar Mantar appears to be a curious collection of sculptures but in fact each construction has a specific purpose such as measuring the positions of stars, altitudes and azimuths, and calculating eclipses. The most striking instrument is the sundial with its 27 meter high gnomon.
Just before sunset, witness an unusual ceremony at the Govind Devji temple. The temple hosts a very popular sculpture of a divinity which is showed only at certain times of the day. When the curtain opens up to show the sculpture, a funny ritual is made by believers! Let’s not say more to keep the surprise!
Morning at leisure to enjoy some rest.
An outstanding experience is waiting for you this afternoon for which a new friend will join you. Short introduction of your new friend: he is 8 feet tall, has a funny nose, he is kind, graceful and playful! Team up with an elephant! Spend time with him/her to learn about his needs and conditions of leaving and participate into plenty of fun activities!
The elephants of this camp used to be working like slaves at the fort for climbing up to the hill with tourists on their back. At this time, their work was hard and painful but now they have been rescued, they are resting and enjoying a better life. The founder of the camp raises awareness to the Indian community of elephant owners on the importance to take good care of the animal.
On your return way, visit the Birla Mandir; a magnificent modern white marble temple dedicated to lord Vishnu and the goddess Lakshmi.
This morning, have a ride back to Dehli and lunch will be served upon arrival.
After lunch, visit the highlights of the capital.
Pass by the presidential palace, the India Gate as well as the house of the parliament.
Continue with the visit of the Raj Ghat which is a memorial of the most popular personality of India: Mahatma Gandhi. The Raj Ghat is a black marble platform that marks the spot of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation, on 31 January 1948, a day after his assassination. It is left open to the sky while an eternal flame burns.
