reflect an interesting synthesis of Hindu and Central Asian architectural
styles. Built by Emperor Akbar, it has a maze of courtyards and mosques, and
its private chambers echo the Mughal Empire.
Agra is the city of the Taj Mahal, perhaps the most photographed monument in the world. Yet, no picture can substitute for actually seeing the Taj Mahal. The unparalleled beauty of it surpasses all expectations, especially when viewed at sunset! Inspect the perfect symmetry of its construction. The inlay work of semi precious stones into marble in pietra dura style is remarkable.
Day: 04 Agra / Fatehpur Sikri / Jaipur
Following breakfast , we drive to Jaipur stopping at Fatehpur Sikri (ghost
capital) for a tour of these magnificent and world heritage buildings, which
are still in a state of perfect reservation. The city is divided into
religious and secular sections. The profusion of sculpture is breathtaking.
Also, the white marble mosque in the secular section is incredible. It is a
very sacred mosque and pilgrims from far and near arrive here to pay their
respects. Continue riding to Jaipur.
In a land steeped with heritage, picturesque with exquisite architecture, in
a state vibrant with heroic memories and romance, lies the Dream City of
Jaipur. The people are dynamic, martial and, need we say it, colourful. Here
every walk through the by lanes is a walk through history. Indeed, Jaipur
could be compared to a vast open-air museum. Pink turbans jostle with
saffron 'odhinis' (ladies scarves). Camel's buggies and elephants are as
commonly found as motor cars and buses.
Upon arrival, check in to Hotel Trident.

with your guide - or for independent discovery. The city is best explored on
foot and only the inquisitive visitor willing to go into the rastaas
(streets) and galis (lanes) will feel the spirit of the city. Jaipur's
colorful bazaars tantalize the eye with enameled blue pottery, exquisite
gem-studded jewelry, engraved brass work, traditional block-printed fabrics
and brightly patterned dhurrie rugs together with traditional crafts and
miniature painting.

in the dry heart of Rajasthan. It is probably the most romantic city in a
state where every city has some romantic or exotic tale to tell.. The huge
city palace towering over the Lake Pichola is the largest palace complex in
Rajasthan. Though it is a conglomeration of buildings built by successive
rulers, it manages to retain a surprising uniformity of design and affords
very fine view of the lake and the city from the upper terraces. The
Jagadish temple next to the city palace enshrines a black stone image of
Lord Vishnu and his vehicle- a mighty bird called garuda - in a brass image.
The temple is a very fine example of Indo-Aryan Art.
