 Fatehpur Sikri

Fatehpur Sikri is the most popular day  excursion from Agra, the city of Taj and capital of invincible Mughals for a long time.

Later proceed for Jaipur. On arrival transfer to hotel.

Jaipur the `Pink City’ as it is popularly known is the bustling capital of Rajasthan. `Pink city’ because most of the buildings are pink in colour in the old city. The city retains its old self, at the same time it is moving fast as a modern city. You can see extreme contrast on the streets of Jaipur. On one side you have cars, buses and motorbikes, on the other side you can see camel carts.

On one side there are traditionally dressed men and women in their turbans and colorful long skirts and blouses. On the other hand you can see modernly dressed Indians and foreign tourists having a bite in their favorite American restaurants.

The city was constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh II (1693-1643) to shift his capital from Amber to a new place. He planned the city according to shilpa-shastra, which is the ancient Hindu treatise on architecture. The city was built with surrounding walls and rectangular blocks. But the city to which he shifted is no longer spacious. The surroundings of the Palaces are now very crowded. It is now all shops and hotels. But the buildings constructed by him like the Jantar Mantar are still intact for people to see.

 Amber The old capital lies 12 km on Jaipur-Delhi highway, the old palace overlooking the lake at the  entrance to a rocky mountain grove was built in the 17th century and is a
 Distinguished specimen of Rajput architecture. The Jai Mandir (the hall of victory) is so delicately  ornamented with fine inlay work that it glows. The fort of Jaigarh, crowning the summit of a peak is of amazing beauty and grandeur. Take an elephant ride on the hill, on which the Amber fort is situated.

City Palace which now houses a museum containing rare manuscripts, paintings and an armory; the Observatory- built in 17th century by Jai Singh- with a sun-dial 90 ft. high, you can calculate time uptill difference of two seconds with just the sun shining over you.

Drive to the Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds- the landmark of Jaipur made of pink sand stone and built in a unique design.
