You will visit the Amber Fort (pronounced Amer), the old fort of the Kachhwaha clan of Amber, which used to be the capital until it was moved to Jaipur. The magnificent Amber Fort is an extensive palace complex that has been built with pale yellow and pink sandstone and white marble. The fort in itself is a beautiful sight to behold but as one looks at the fort with its clear reflection on the lake in the front, one cannot help but wonder if it is a dream or a beautiful illusion.

On the way, you will visit Chand Baori Step Well, located opposite a temple known as Harshat Mata Temple. The well was built over a thousand years ago and is one of the largest and most aesthetic step wells in the world. It is believed that the Chand Baori Step Well has a religious connection and that’s the reason it was built in front of the temple.

On arrival to Agra, check into the hotel. Agra is the quintessential Mughal City, where the world marvels at the epitome of love, beauty and sacrifice, the Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world. The monument is so awe-inspiring that Agra has been immortalised as the City of the Taj.

Meals included: Breakfast

Today you will have an early morning visit to the Taj Mahal just after sunrise (at approximately 06:00) and return to the hotel for breakfast. Alternatively, you can visit just after breakfast at 09:00 (included).

The world-famous Taj Mahal is where you will see the undeniable beauty that incorporates and expands on design traditions of Persian and earlier Mughal architecture. While earlier Mughal buildings were primarily constructed of red sandstone, Shah Jahan promoted the use of white marble inlaid with semi-precious stones.

The Taj Mahal was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631, to be built in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632, the principal mausoleum was completed in 1643 and the surrounding buildings and garden were finished about five years later.

Later, enjoy a visit to Agra Fort (Red Fort). A fascinating sight, it showcases a high level of ornamentation and the Kohinoor diamond was reportedly once part of the furnishings. The fort’s artwork mixes Persian, European and Indian art, resulting in a unique Shahjahani style rich in form, expression and colour. Red Fort is one of the building complexes of India encapsulating a long period of history, arts and innovative architectural style, including its garden design which influenced later buildings and gardens in Delhi. In 2007, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Red Fort Complex.

However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.
