India’s capital is the main gateway to the country. Contemporary Delhi is a bustling metropolis that successfully blends the old and the new.

In Indian culture, whenever we begin a journey or a new project, we ask for good fortune by performing an Aarti ceremony and applying a tika (a sacred mark on the forehead made with colored powder, kumkum, or sandalwood paste).

Morning visit to the Taj Mahal (closed on Fridays)
The Taj Mahal is an architectural marvel that invariably becomes the soul of every visit to Agra. Known as a monument to love, the Taj Mahal is breath taking for the beauty of its white marble architecture. Emperor Shah Jahan ordered its construction as an expression of his deep love for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Designed by the Persian architect Ustad Isa, its construction took 22 years and it has since become one of the Wonders of the World. The monument features an imposing design, perfect symmetry, elegant carved domes, and some of the finest inlay work ever created.

After visiting this magnificent monument, we will proceed to visit Agra Fort.

Agra Fort, also known as the Red Fort of Agra and locally called Lal Quila, is located on the banks of the Yamuna River in the city of Agra. It is known as the Red Fort due to its construction in red sandstone, which gives it its distinctive color. Agra Fort was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Built in 1565, the fort was conceived as a walled palace surrounded by a deep water-filled moat. Entry to the fort is through the Amar Singh Gate. Inside, we will visit the numerous palaces and stately buildings constructed by Emperor Akbar, which were later used by successive rulers of the Mughal Empire as their operational base.
