Admire the mausoleum’s delicate marble inlay and finely carved surfaces, and discover why it is often regarded as a precursor to the Taj Mahal’s architectural brilliance. After settling into your accommodation, head out for a tour of Agra Fort, situated at the bend of the Yamuna River. Then, catch your first sight of the majestic Taj Mahal.

Witness the exquisite art of Pacchikari, Agra’s traditional marble‑inlay craft.

Day 6 - Ranthambore, Jaipur

Head to Jaipur, India’s remarkable Pink City. The extensive use of pink-plastered stone evokes the charm of a bygone era, where Jaipur’s rich history blends seamlessly with its modern culture. Admire the city’s impressive forts, lush gardens, and spectacular palaces and temples as you travel by e tuk-tuk through Jaipur’s old city, weaving through historic lanes, vibrant markets, and scenes of everyday local life.

Day 7 - Jaipur

Today, travel to Amber Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage–listed palace overlooking Maota Lake. Built in the late 16th century, the fort is a striking blend of Rajput and Mughal design, crafted from red sandstone and marble. Afterwards, visit Panna Meena ka Kund, a 16th-century stepwell just below the fort. Designed as both a water reservoir and a place for community gathering, its symmetrical zigzag staircases form a mesmerising geometric pattern.
