Jaipur >> Agra . After B’fast this morning, transfer to Jaipur airport to catch flight to Agra. On arrival, check into Hotel Amar Vilas.
Post lunch, visit Fort Agra, a massive red sandstone structure, associated closely with Mughal & British History, in India. It is a World Heritage Monument. In the 16th and 17th centuries, at the time of the Mughals, Agra was the capital of India. Construction of Agra Fort was originally started by Emperor Akbar in 1565, but his son, Jahangir, and grandson, ShahJahan, later made additions. It houses the Dewan-e-Khas and Dewan-e-Aam (Halls of Private and Public Audience) and its walls are a silent witness to the rise and fall of the Imperial Mughal Empire. The palaces and courtyards within the fort feature a variety of ingenious Islamic inspired devices (some decorative, some more practical) within the fabric of the buildings.
According to Tillotson, "The architecture of Agra Fort, draws on India’s 2 main traditions, (Islamic / Hindu), but here the various parts are combined in a new and resolved style. It is that resolution which gives the buildings their appearance of purity".
Overnight in Hotel Oberois Amar Vilas / The Taj Gateway (B).

Agra . At 6:00am this morning, visit the Taj Mahal – "…Looming 243 feet from
the garden level to the dome’s golden surmounting needle, the mausoleum dwarfs visitors by it’s
grandeur. Inside of that gigantic central arch, vaulted marble has been chiseled into diamond
shapes; while black-jet inscriptions from Koran weave stylised Arabic calligraphy like a giant’s
puzzle around the entry way
".
Return back for B’fast.
Drive to Fatehpur Sikri (19miles), the ghost city of the great Mughal Akbar, whose intention was it to reconcile Islam to Hinduism. Completed in 1571 by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, who was known to be a very tolerant ruler, the buildings at Fatehpur Sikri blend both Islamic and Hindu elements in their architectural style. Experts argue that Fatehpur Sikri is the greatest accomplishment of Mughal architecture, surpassed only in reputation but not in its beauty by the Taj Mahal. The cultural politics of the site remain to be written; perhaps the mammoth chess board, where human figures were used as chess pieces and moved at the emperor's will, provides a clue.
Overnight in your hotel (B).
