Jaipur - city sigthseeing
Jaipur is blessed with a wealth of wonders. Here you'll see the

City Palace. Jaipur is a city of pink, and you'll be enchanted by the light

of the architecture.

Morning enjoy an excursion to the Amber Fort which is ascended on an
elephant back. Afternoon at leisure. Overnight at the hotel.
Amber
Fort Amber, built by Man Singh, embodies the Rajput belief that the
fort symbolises the strength of the King. Its commanding view, sheer walls
and rock face, and the curved route that leads to the palaces within, all
point to concern with security and defense. The fort is mirrored in Maota
Lake, which stands adjacent to the Dilaram Garden. The private apartments
begun by Man Singh in the17th century combine Hindu and Mughal styles and
the Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors), its walls covered with tiny mirrors,
becomes a dazzling fantasy with the light of a single match. Visit the Jag
Mandir or the Hall of Victory, glittering with mirrors, Jai Mahal and the
Kali Temple.

Agra The Taj
Mahal truly is one of the wonders of the world, and you'll see it at its
best - at sunset - just when the light, playing on the marble of the tomb
and the reflections in the stillness of the waters, presents this incredible
building in all its beauty, majesty and splendour. The Taj Mahal is a
monument of love built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjehan in 1630 for his Queen
Mumtaz Mahal to enshrine her mortal remains. For twenty-two years 20,000 men
laboured day and night to build this masterpiece, which has held the world
awe struck ever since. Shah Jehan was imprisoned by his son in the
magnificent fort at Agra. Here you'll see the art and crafting of the white

Public and Private Audience, and finally the tomb of Itmad-ud-daula built by
