Day 2: Delhi to Agra – The City of the Taj Mahal
On the second day, head to Agra, the city that holds one of the Seven Wonders of the World — the Taj Mahal. This architectural masterpiece was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Visit at sunrise for the most mesmerizing view, as the white marble glows in golden hues.
Later, explore the majestic Agra Fort, a red sandstone fortress that served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Don’t miss the Mehtab Bagh, a garden complex offering a stunning rear view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.
Before heading to Jaipur, you can also stop by Fatehpur Sikri (optional), a deserted Mughal city with well-preserved palaces and mosques built by Akbar.
In the evening, drive to Jaipur – the capital city of Rajasthan, fondly known as the Pink City – and check in to your hotel.

The final leg of your tour brings you to Jaipur, a city known for its royal heritage, colorful streets, and vibrant culture.
