Breakfast at hotel, drive to Agra, check in at hotel.

Afternoon visit Taj Mahal: One of the Seven Wonder of the World was built by Shah Jahan in

1631 AD and was completed in 1651. This symbol of

love was built in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Described as the most extravagant monument ever

built for love. It was constructed by Mughal

Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his queen

Mumtaz Mahal, made out of white marble took 22

years to complete. Ustad Ahamad Lahori, a Parsian

Architect, is said to be the main designer and

planer of this magnificent memorial. On full moon

night, the glory of the Taj is at its best. (Taj

Mahal remain closed on every Friday)

Agra Fort: build by the famed Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1565AD, the fort is predominantly of red

sandstone. Construction of the massive red sandstone Agra Fort on the bank of the Yamuna River

was begun by Emperor Akbar in 1565, though additions were made up until the rule of his grandson,

Shah Jahan region it has partially become Palace. The fort presents a good sampling of their

favoured architectural styles. Akbar drew on Islamic and Hindu traditions and the result is eclectic.

By Shah Jahan's time the style had become so homogenized that it is impossible to separate the

Hindu and Muslim strands. The Diwan-I-Am (public audience hall) the beautiful Diwan-I-Khas

(private audience hall) were also added by Shah Jahan.

AItmad-ud-daulah's Tomb; Built between 1622 and 1628 by Empress Nur Jahan for her father,

boasts of marble trellis work and inlaid with-precious stones, this mausoleum on the opposite bank

of the Yamuna from the Taj, exhibits a strong Persian influence. Itmad-ud-Daula often describe as

Jewel Box. The Tomb of Mir Ghias Beg, Vazir (minister) of Emperor Jahangir, was built between

1622 and 1628 from red sand stone with marble decorations as Akbars tomb in Sikendra in Agra.

Itmad-ud-daula has important place in history as well as architecture. This is actually the very first

tomb in India that is entirely made out of Marble. It is most important monument in Agra after Taj

Mahal and Agra fort. Overnight at hotel.

dream & partakes of both Hindu & Muslim styles. See the graceful buildings including Jama Masjid,

Tomb of Salim Chisti, Panch Mahal & other places.

En route also visit Abhaneri; is a small village. The place

is popular for the amazing 'Baoris' (step wells) and

Harshat Mata Temple. The village of Abhaneri is

believed to be established by the King Raja Chand.

Originally Abhaneri was named as Abha Nagri, which

means the city of brightness, but due to

mispronunciation of the term, it is changed to the

present name. In the present day, this city of brightness

is in ruins; still it attracts tourists from across the

globe. Abhaneri is prominent for 'Baoris', which are the unique invention of the natives for

harvesting rain water. Amongst the other step wells, Chand Baori is the most popular one. This

colossal step well is located in front of the Harshat Mata Temple. Chand Baori is one of India's

deepest and largest step wells. The huge tank with delicate carvings is certainly delightful to the

eyes.

Continue drive to Jaipur, on arrival check in at hotel. Evening free to scroll the market. Overnight

DAY 05 JAIPUR

Breakfast at hotel, visit Amber Fort and enjoy Elephant Ride (upto the hills – at own expense).

Raja Man Singh the Rajput commander of Akbar’s army constructed the fortress palace in the end

of 16th century. Amber is superb example of Rajput architecture, situated on a hilltop, overlooking

a lake. Amber Fort is known for its unique artistic style, blending both Hindu and Muslim (Mughal)

elements, and its ornate and breathtaking artistic mastery. The fort borders the Maota Lake.

Jaigarh Fort or Fort of Victory considered to be one of the most well fortified structures in India.

The magnificent fort was constructed by Sawai Singh of Jaipur in 1726 in order to tighten the

security of Amber and Jaipur. Situated on the top of the hill the fort provides the stunning view of

the Jaipur town and magnificent amber fort. The main highlights of the fort are massive Cannon,

fortification, museum, palaces, temples and the magnificent water tanks. Jai Van is claimed to be

the largest cannon on wheels in the world. The length of the barrel of this cannon is 20 ft. 2 inches,

the diameter 8 ft. 7 inches and it weighs 50 tons. The range of the gun is 22 miles and it consumes

100kgs of gunpowder for every shot.

Afternoon city tour of Jaipur, the origins of the beautiful city of Jaipur can be traced back to the

eighteenth century, during the reign of Jai Singh II

who ascended the Amber throne in 1699. Jaipur today,

epitomizes the spirit of Rajputana. In-spite of growing

into a bustling metropolis, it still retains its character

and history - Beautiful fusion of the yesteryears and modernity. Popularly known as the Pink City

because of the extensive use of the locally abundant pink plastered stone, painted so in honor of

the visit of the royal consort of Queen Victoria Jaipur thrills the soul with its massive forts,

magnificent palaces, exquisite temples and lush gardens. Main tourist attractions of Jaipur are City

Palace with its fine collection of textiles, costumes and armory and the Hawa Mahal or Palace of

the Winds. Maharaja Jai Singh was a great astronomer of his time. He built here extraordinary

(and very accurate) stargazing Observatory here named as “Jantar Mantar”. Overnight at hotel.

DAY 07: COCHIN

Arrive Cochin airport, meet our office representative,

Later city tour of Cochin, one of South India’s most

interesting towns, still largely comprises low rise, picturesque buildings. Visit Mattanchery Palace

built by the Portuguese (1557) as a gift for the Raja of Kochi in exchange of trading rights, it was

largely rebuilt by the new occupants, the Dutch. Further visit Jewish Synagogue adjacent to the

Palace. This gem of a synagogue dating from 1568 (rebuilt in 1662) at the heart of what is called

locally Jew Town, now a fascinating mixture of shops (some selling antiques), warehouses and spice

auction rooms. Later on drive to Fort Kochi beach area to visit St. Francis Church originally

dedicated to Santo Antonio, the patron saint of Portugal, St. Francis Church is the first to reflect

the new, European influenced tradition. Vasco da Gama died on the site in 1524 and was originally

buried in the cemetery. Fourteen years later his body was removed to Portugal. Our final visit will

be to huge Chinese Fishing Nets line the entrance to the harbour mouth. Chinese traders are

believed to have originally introduced them in the late 14th century although, today, parts of the
