The sightseeing trip starts, along with Delhi tour guide, a bit early in the morning- immediately after breakfast, as several monuments need to be visited in a limited time frame. Delhi is probably world’s richest capital with respect to historical monuments. The city government has united the medieval (Old Delhi) & modern (New Delhi) in a unique way. New Delhi, created symmetrically by British architect in 1931 as a garden city, is located in a spacious, west oriented style with wide shopping streets, luxury hotels and villas and diplomatic districts. Old Delhi, however, unfolds the splendor of the Orient. The loud & colorful streets invite you to stroll through the bazaars, and behind ancient walls, await centuries-old palaces, temples and treasures for you to explore.

Old Delhi sightseeing will include the imposing Red Fort, Jama Masjid (the largest mosque in India), Chandani Chowk (400 years old bazaar) and the narrow streets of the old oriental town. In the colonial section of New Delhi you will pass the government district with the President's Palace and India Gate. Thereafter visit Lotus Temple, a meditation centre developed by the Bahais. Next stop is Qutub Minar, world’s tallest stone built tower, marking the advent of Muslim rulers in India.

Later in the evening, return to New Delhi hotel for overnight stay.

Depart a bit early, immediately after taking breakfast in Delhi hotel, for Agra. It takes about four hours to reach Agra. Agra is famous for gigantic, beautiful and early Mughal era monuments. Three of these monuments, Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri are listed in UNESCO World Heritage sites. On arrival at Agra, you will be directly transferred to the pre-booked hotel. Having relaxed a bit, you will be visiting three famous monuments of Agra- Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Baby Taj (Tomb of It-Mad-ud-Daula). The first stop is naturally Taj Mahal. The tourists, who stop in Agra, basically have only one goal: the Taj Mahal. Recently included in the list of the new "Seven Wonders of The World", it is regarded by many as the very symbol of Indian tourism. The Mughal rulerr Shah Jahan built the monument of eternal love for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to her 14th child at the age of 38 years in 1631. A large number of tourists swarm to see Taj Mahal. Two times of day are particularly popular with visitors: sunrise and sunset. Also a special spectacle, Taj Mahal offers when the moon unfolds fully. The visit to the tombs of Mumtaz Mahal and her husband, which can be seen in the main room as copies, however, can be a special experience for the nose. Agra Fort is located just two kilometers northwest away. The fort on the banks of Yamuna River is surrounded by a 2.5-kilometer double wall. The huge investment in the Agra Fort, whose foundation stone was laid in 1565, is visible in more than 560 individual buildings inside it. Having seen these buildings one can easily guess that Agra Fort was not only a fortification but also a royal town. Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque) & large terrace that offers beautiful views of the Taj Mahal deserve special attention. Tomb of It-Mad-ud-Daula, known popularly as Baby Taj, is another tourist attraction of Agra and is said to be a source of inspiration for Shah Jahan to use white marbles more sumptuously.

Having completed sightseeing of monuments, explore colourful market of Agra. Later, return to Agra hotel to spend evening in leisure and have overnight stay.

On the fourth day of Golden Triangle with Darjeeling & Sikkim Tour, have scrumptious breakfast in Agra hotel and depart for Jaipur,known as Pink City of Rajasthan. En route Jaipur, you will be visiting two places of medieval and ancient glory- Fatehpur Sikri & Abhaneri.

About 40 km from Agra, you will visit the abandoned, exceedingly fascinating city of Fatehpur Sikri. Built in 1569 by Mughal ruler Akbar, it was abandoned again after 14 years due to water shortage. The well-preserved red sandstone buildings are among the most important examples of Mughal architecture. Today walk through an intact, lordly township: well-preserved multi-storey palaces, gardens and a market place, a waterworks, countless covered walkways, stairs and terraces. They are testimony to the architectural feat of Akbar. The sunken metropolis combines two opposites: the figurative architecture of the Hindus and the geometrics of Islam.

After visiting Fatehpur Sikri, proceed for Jaipur. About 75 kms prior to Jaipur is a village named Abhaneri in Dausa district of Rajasthan. Abhaneri is a village with rich cultural heritage of ancient India.

Jaipur , the capital of Rajasthan, is known as the pink city. It is named for the predominant color of its buildings "Pink City". Pink is not just the color of Lord Shiva, but also the Indian color of welcome. Unlike cities in the Gangetic plain, Jaipur has broad streets and everything exudes a certain harmony. The city with its now more than 4,000,000 inhabitants is situated in a desert landscape, surrounded by barren hills. Rajasthan is not as crowded as other states. The careful planning and construction of Jaipur had been done by the great warrior and astronomer Maharaja Jai Singh II (1699-1744). His predecessor had good understanding with the Mughal and maintained excellent relations with them. But by 1727, the splendor of the Mughal began to fade, and Jaipur king decided to leave his mountain fortress of Amber and to found a new city on the plain. In urban planning, he followed a Hindu scripture, dealing with architecture, the Shilpa Shastra. Hence, a city was designed with walls and six rectangular blocks. In 1728, a remarkable solar observatory called Jantar Mantar was built. Jantar Mantar, still in working condition, is a special attraction of Jaipur today. It served the Maharaja to observe the stars and astrological interpretation. In addition to lot many monuments, Jaipur offers a great opportunity for shoppers.
