 Day 01 : Delhi / Agra
Morning drive to Agra. Upon arrival in Agra - check into hotel.
Afternoon Visit Taj Mahal…… Little needs to be said about this architectural
wonder which is always the soul raison-de-etre for every tourist's visit to
Agra. Built by Shah Jahan, the Taj is a white marble memorial to his
beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal.
This monument took 22 years to be completed and was designed and planned by
Persian architect Ustad Isa. Apart from it's stunning design balance and
perfect symmetry, the Taj is also noted particularly for its elegant domes,
intricately carved screens and some of the best inlay work ever seen. (TAJMAHAL
IS CLOSED ON FRIDAYS).
The guests will stay at the Taj Mahal till sunset to see this true Wonder of
the world in gentle late afternoon light. Overnight at hotel.
Day 02 : Agra
After breakfast visit the Red Fort.
Red Fort - lies on the bend of the river Yamuna, almost in the heart of the
town. Akbar built it as his citadel over the years 1563-73 in the finest
architectural style. It has imposing gates and walls of red sandstone and a
moat.
Afternoon, visit Fatehpur Sikri.
Fatehpur Sikri - drive to the impressive sandstone fortress of Fatehpur
Sikri. The fort was built in the 16th century and only occupied for a few
years before being abandoned, leaving the buildings in virtually perfect
conditions.
In the evening witness magic show. Magic show - There is nothing that
captures the magical spirit of the lad as much as the conjuror who enthralls
his audience with sleights of hands and a range of tricks. Only the
adventurous can volunteer to be sawed in half.
Overnight at hotel.
