Day 2 Delhi Time Travel Tour | Old Delhi to New Delhi: Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, India Gate, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb

Get ready for an extraordinary adventure in Delhi! Today, you’ll embark on a unique time travel tour, journeying from the majestic Old Delhi steeped in history, all the way to the modern marvels of New Delhi. This exciting exploration will weave together the vibrant tapestry of Delhi, allowing you to witness the city's ancient grandeur seamlessly blend with its contemporary flair.

Your exploration begins in the heart of Old Delhi, where you'll visit Jama Masjid, one of India's largest and most awe-inspiring mosques. Construction began in 1644 under the reign of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, the same visionary who brought us the Taj Mahal. This magnificent structure, also known as Masjid-i-Jahan Numa (meaning "mosque commanding the view of the world"), is crafted from red sandstone and adorned with beautiful white marble. Step back into the 17th century and stand in awe under the towering minarets of Jama Masjid. Feel the spiritual energy resonate through time and imagine the grandeur of the Mughal era as the call to prayer echoes through the centuries.

Later, take a stroll to Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi. Also established by the Shah Jahan in the 17th century, this market is a maze of narrow alleyways filled with small shops offering delectable snacks, sweets, and savories, as well as budget-friendly deals on clothing and other items. Chandni Chowk stretches from the iconic Red Fort to the historic Fatehpuri Masjid, covering a significant distance. To fully immerse yourself in the charm of Old Delhi, we recommend taking an optional rickshaw tour around Chandni Chowk.

Don't miss the opportunity to pass by the Red Fort (World Heritage) and marvel at its symbol of grandeur. Known as Lal Qila and built by the Shah Jahan, the fort serves as the main residence for the Mughal emperors of India and is recognized as a significant architectural masterpiece.

After that, make your way to New Delhi and explore the iconic India Gate. This magnificent memorial is dedicated to the Indian soldiers of World War I. Resembling the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, India Gate stands as a prominent landmark, symbolizing an important chapter in India's history.

As you move forward, you'll have the opportunity to witness the transformation of Delhi into a thriving modern metropolis while also having a chance to take photos of several notable landmarks, including the Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Residence), Parliament House, North Block, and South Block.

Then, you will arrive at Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the tallest brick minaret in the world. Standing proudly at an astonishing height of 72.5 meters (238 feet), the Qutub Minar showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Indo-Islamic architecture. Prepare to be enthralled by the sheer magnificence of this historical masterpiece as you delve into its rich and fascinating history that dates back to the 12th century.

Finally, visit Humayun's Tomb, another jewel in Delhi's crown and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It holds the distinction of being the first significant example of a Mughal garden tomb. Its breathtaking design and captivating blend of Persian and Indian architectural styles even served as inspiration for the future wonder of the world, the Taj Mahal! Adorned with intricate marble inlays and surrounded by Char Bagh gardens, this red sandstone monument stands as an iconic symbol of Mughal architecture. Stroll through the paradise garden, marvel at the architectural grandeur, and immerse yourself in the captivating love story it holds.

After this amazing tour, you’ll head back your hotel.

Day 3 Delhi to Agra Tour | Mehtab Bagh

Start your day with a tasty breakfast at your hotel in Delhi and bid farewell to the capital of India in the morning. Head off to Agra, a journey of approximately 250km (155miles) that takes about 4.5 hours, depending on traffic conditions.

The primary route for travel between Delhi and Agra is the Yamuna Expressway. It is known for its well-maintained surface and infrastructure. With our selected vehicle, that's a comfy road trip guaranteed. And it's a scenic road trip as well! Witness the captivating transformation as Delhi's urban sprawl transitions into picturesque landscapes, flyover bridges right over lush green fields, and vibrant agricultural farms painting the landscape. So don't hesitate to ask for a pit stop to capture the essence of the journey with your camera!

Upon arrival in Agra, you can visit Mehtab Bagh for an amazing sunset view. Known as the "Moonlight Garden", Mehtab Bagh is a 16th-century Mughal-era garden that offers a unique perspective of the Taj Mahal, especially during sunset. Watch the iconic Taj Mahal's silhouette reflecting over the calm Yamuna River, creating a truly magical scene. It's a perfect sneak peek preview of the Taj Mahal.

Day 4 Agra Tour | Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daula's Tomb (Baby Taj)

Today will be the big day for the Taj Mahal (World Heritage)! Your knowledgeable guide will pick you up from your hotel in the pre-dawn hours, so you can enjoy a serene sunrise viewing of the Taj Mahal bathed in an ethereal glow, away from the day's heat and crowds.

As you approach the magnificent Taj Mahal, you can admire its immaculate white marble facade glistens in the morning light. This remarkable architectural masterpiece, recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, serves as an eternal symbol of love. Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in the 17th century as a tribute to his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Walking up to the Main Gate of the Taj Mahal is an experience in itself. The gate is carved from red sandstone and adorned with intricate floral patterns. It serves as a grand prelude to the awe-inspiring monument that awaits you. Stepping through, you enter the Charbagh, a formal Mughal garden divided into four perfect quarters by reflecting pools. This symmetry and balance foreshadow the architectural mastery evident in the Tomb itself.

The centerpiece of the Taj Mahal complex is the white marble mausoleum, which houses the cenotaphs of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. The story goes that Shah Jahan deliberately built the minarets of the Taj Mahal - towers that serve as vantage points and landmarks - away from and tilted outwards from the main structure. In the unlikely event of a collapse, they would fall away from the Taj Mahal. So the tomb of his beloved wife would remain unharmed. Intricate floral designs, calligraphy, and semi-precious stone inlays that adorn the tomb's surface offer a glimpse into the unparalleled craftsmanship of the era, leaving you breathless with its beauty.

After marveling at the architectural mastery of the Taj Mahal, you will return to your hotel for a refreshing breakfast.

Then, you will continue the journey to Agra Fort (World Heritage). By the way, Shah Jahan was imprisoned in the Agra Fort by his son Aurangzeb. From his vantage point, he is said to have gazed upon the Taj Mahal, which served as a constant reminder of his beloved wife.

Agra Fort is a formidable red sandstone fort built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century, serving as the seat of Mughal power for nearly a century. Your guide will lead you through the imposing gateways, showcasing the fort's rich history and architectural brilliance. Explore the various palaces, courtyards, and audience halls that once housed emperors, their families, and the Mughal court. Witness the exquisite craftsmanship evident in the intricate carvings, marble inlay work, and jali screens (decorative perforated stonework).

Next, you’ll explore Itmad-ud-Daula's Tomb, also known as the "Baby Taj" which was built by Empress Nur Jahan. This 17th-century mausoleum foreshadows the grandeur of the Taj Mahal with its intricate stone inlay work (perfected later), white marble, and geometric patterns, showcasing the evolving Mughal architectural style. Some might even say that its intricate architectural elements outshine the Taj Mahal!

After the tour, drive back to your hotel in Agra.

Day 5 Agra to Jaipur Tour | Fatehpur Sikri

Begin your day early with breakfast at your hotel in Agra. Afterward, you will depart from Agra and make your way to Jaipur via Fatehpur Sikri (World Heritage). The journey covers approximately 250km and takes about 5 hours.

En route to Jaipur, make a stop at Fatehpur Sikri, meaning "The City of Victory”, which is 40 kilometers west of Agra. It served as the capital of the Mughal Empire under Emperor Akbar from 1571 to 1585. Visiting Fatehpur Sikri offers a deep dive into India's rich history, providing insight into the life and times of one of its most celebrated emperors, Akbar the Great. It is a prime example of Akbar's architectural genius, dominated by red sandstone buildings, showcasing a unique blend of Hindu, Jain, and Islamic architectural styles, a reflection of the syncretic culture developed under Akbar’s rule.

The city is divided into two main areas: the royal palace complex and the religious complex. The royal complex includes stunning buildings such as the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), Jodha Bai's Palace, Birbal's House, and Panch Mahal, among others. The religious compound features the Jama Masjid (Grand Mosque) and the tomb of Salim Chisti, a revered Sufi saint, which draws pilgrims from all over due to its sanctity and the belief in the fulfillment of wishes tied to it. One of Fatehpur Sikri’s most iconic structures is the Buland Darwaza (The Gate of Victory), standing at a height of 55 meters. It was erected by Akbar to commemorate his victory over Gujarat and is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture. The gate serves as the main entrance to the Jama Masjid.

Following the tour, drive on to Jaipur, which is approximately 210 kilometers away, taking around 4 hours from Fatehpur Sikri. Welcome to Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, India, known as the "Pink City" for its trademark building color. Jaipur's most striking feature is the rose-colored hue of its buildings in the old city center. his distinctive color scheme is attributed to a welcoming gesture by Maharaja Ram Singh who had the city painted pink in 1876 to honor a visit by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). Upon reaching Jaipur, check in at your hotel and take some time to unwind.

Optional ActivityJaipur Local Bazaar Walking Tour with a Guide (USD 40 per person).
You have the option to participate in a Jaipur Local Bazaar walking tour with your tour guide. Jaipur is a fantastic shopping destination, with lots of bazaars showcase wonderful Rajasthan artifacts such as textiles, gemstones, silver, and pottery. One local specialty is blue pottery, which features hand-painted vessels adorned with floral motifs and geometric patterns in combinations of blue, white, and occasionally other colors.

Day 6 Jaipur Tour | Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal, Jaipur Jantar Mantar

After a delightful breakfast, embark on a full-day Jaipur sightseeing led by your guide, including visits to the magnificent Amber Fort, the City Palace, the Hawa Mahal, and the Jaipur Jantar Mantar.

Your first destination is Amber Fort (World Heritage). The magnificent, formidable, honey-hued fort of Amber is an exquisite example of Rajput architecture. It is located in the rugged hills about 11km northeast of Jaipur, overlooking Maota Lake, and is a must-see sight in the city. Amber was the former capital of Jaipur state. This magnificent fort comprises an extensive palace complex, showcasing a fine blend of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles. It is built from pale yellow and pink sandstone, along with white marble, and features a grand palace, temples, and several ornate gates. Of particular interest is the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), where the walls are inlaid with exquisite mirrored motifs that dance in the flickering flame of even a single candle.

Tips: You can choose to take a jeep ride (optional) up to the Amber fork rather than take an elephant ride (optional).

You can reach the Amber fort through the Suraj Pol (Sun Gate) which leads to the Jaleb Chowk, the first main courtyard. Diagonally opposite is the Chand Pol (Moon Gate). From Jaleb Chowk, a flight of stairs leads up to the small Siladevi Temple, whose doors feature relief work in silver. The main palace is up next, which includes the Diwan-e-Am (hall for a private audience with the king) with carved columns and latticed galleries, the king’s apartments, the gate Ganesh Pol with beautiful arches, and Jai Mandir or Sheesh Mahal. Stand at one of the many arched windows of the palace and take in the rolling shrubland stretching up to the horizon and the scenic Maota Lake at the foot of the fort.

Next, head to the City Palace, situated in the old city of Jaipur. It is a sprawling complex that blends Rajput and Mughal architecture styles and serves as the royal residence of the Jaipur royal family. The palace houses several buildings, including Chandra Mahal, the Armoury, Diwan-i-Khas, and Diwan-i-Am Art Gallery, along with courtyards and gardens. Among them, Pitam Niwas Chowk (Courtyard of Love) is a photographer's delight. It is famous for its 4 colored gates, each representing a different season. The Peacock Gate depicts autumn, the Lotus Gate signifies summer, the Green Gate represents spring, and finally, the Rose Gate embodies winter.

No tour would be complete without visiting Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds). It is renowned for its unique 5-story exterior, resembling the honeycomb of a beehive. This architectural wonder is built of red and pink sandstone, and features an incredible 953 intricately carved windows. These windows, resembling a honeycomb design, gave the building its name ("hawa" meaning "wind" in Hindi) and allowed royal ladies to observe everyday life and festivals in the street below without being seen. The clever design also facilitate the circulation of cool breezes throughout the palace, providing natural air conditioning, especially during the hot summer months. Hawa Mahal is an architectural marvel that blends Hindu Rajput architecture with Islamic Mughal architecture. The facade of Hawa Mahal is a stunning sight, particularly when bathed in the golden light of the early morning or late afternoon.

Immediately behind the Hawa Mahal is the Jaipur Jantar Mantar (World Heritage), considered one of the oldest astronomical observatories in the world, built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. The observatory houses the world's largest stone sundial and features 16 devices designated to measure time, observe planetary motion around the sun, and keep track of celestial bodies. The geometric devices of the observatory are both functional and architecturally fascinating, offering a glimpse into the advanced astronomy studies of the 18th century.

Day 8 Udaipur | Jagdish Temple, City Palace, Boat Ride on Lake Pichola, Sajjan Garh Palace

Start your day with a delightful breakfast, and prepare to explore the city's most iconic sights. Visit the Jagdish Temple, and the City Palace, and take a boat ride on Lake Pichola. Don't forget to enjoy the views of the Monsoon Palace.

Your first destination is the Jagdish Temple. This Indo-Aryan temple was built by Maharana Jagat Singh, who ruled Udaipur between 1628 and 1653. Known as the largest temple in Udaipur, this three-story structure is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is adorned with carved pillars, decorated ceilings, and painted walls. Upon entering, a meticulously carved archway greets you, featuring intricate sculptures of elephants, horses, and various other animals. The main shrine houses a figurine of the four-armed Lord Vishnu, carved out of a single black stone. The temple's spire or, standing around 80 feet high, dominates Udaipur's skyline. The main shrine is surrounded by four smaller shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the Sun God, Goddess Shakti, and Lord Shiva. An elegant marble staircase of 32 steps leads you up to the main shrine, where a notable brass representation of Garuda, the half-human, half-eagle protector of Lord Vishnu, stands guard. With its rich history and architectural brilliance, the Jagdish Temple is sure to leave an indelible mark on any visitor.

Continue your journey to the City Palace, located just 150 meters from the Jagdish Temple. Perched majestically on the banks of Lake Pichola, the City Palace is Rajasthan’s largest palace, and has 11 smaller palaces, with a facade 244m long and 30.4m high initiated by Maharana Udai Singh II. It is an architectural marvel and represents an exquisite blend of Rajasthani, Mughal, European, and oriental architectural styles. All the palaces were built with marble and granite and its walls and towers, painted in a soft shade of cream and white, stand out against the vibrant blue of the lake, earning Udaipur the nickname "The White City." The palace was built atop a hill, with many balconies offering a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings.

Enter through the Badi Pol (Great Gate), leading you to the Tripolia Gate, where kings were weighed against gold and silver, which was then distributed to the poor. Inside, the palace complex is a maze of courtyards, pavilions, terraces, corridors, rooms, and hanging gardens, each more splendid than the last. The main part of the City Palace is open as the City Palace Museum, with rooms extravagantly decorated with mirrors, tiles, and paintings, and housing a large and varied collection of artifacts. Noteworthy areas include the Baadi Mahal, a pretty central garden that gives fine views over the city; the Mor Chowk (Peacock Courtyard ), known for its stunning glass mosaics of peacocks; the Manak Mahal (Ruby Palace) for its collection of crystal and porcelain figurines; and the Zenana Mahal, which once housed the royal ladies and now contains a long picture gallery with lots of royal hunting scenes.

No visit to Udaipur is complete without a boat ride on the tranquil waters of Lake Pichola. This artificial freshwater lake, created in the 14th century, is now 4km long and 3km wide, and is surrounded by magnificent hills, palaces, temples, and bathing ghats. A boat ride (about 45 mins ) here offers a serene experience and a different perspective of the city's palatial beauty, including splendid views of the City Palace stretching along the east bank, the picturesque island palaces of Jag Mandir and Jag Niwas (Lake Palace), and the bustling ghats.

The final highlight of your day should be a visit to the Sajjan Garh Palace, also known as the Monsoon Palace. Perched on a hilltop, and overlooking the Fateh Sagar lake, this white palace seems just like a fairy-tale castle, one which holds within its walls memories of kings and queens. It offers unparalleled views of Udaipur and its surrounding lakes against the backdrop of the setting sun. Originally intended as an astronomical center to watch the monsoon clouds, it now serves as a vantage point for tourists seeking breathtaking views. The drive to the palace is equally enchanting, winding through the Sajjangarh Wildlife Sanctuary, home to a variety of flora and fauna, where you might spot wild animals like chital, sambar, wild boar, and blue bull.

Important Travel Tips for Visiting India

Visa and Entry Requirements:

Before your trip, it is important to check the visa requirements for India and ensure that you have all the necessary documents.

Best Time to Visit Delhi and India:

The best time to visit Delhi and India is during the winter months (October to March) when the weather is pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Spring (February to April) is also a good time, while summers (April to June) can be hot. Monsoon season (July to September) brings heavy rainfall but offers lush landscapes and cultural festivals.

Road Condition in India:

Generally, the roads between the tourist cities are well-developed and maintained, offering a smooth driving experience. However, there may be sections with potholes or uneven surfaces, especially in certain areas. It's advisable to drive with caution and be prepared for occasional road repairs or construction work. Additionally, traffic congestion can be a challenge in urban areas, so it's important to be patient and follow traffic rules.

Alternatively, if you prefer a quicker and more convenient option, there are flights available from Delhi to Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, and Kerala. Considering a flight transfer can save you time and offer a more comfortable travel experience.

Local Customs in India:

(1) Greetings: In India, greetings are often accompanied by a namaste, which involves joining the palms together in front of the chest and bowing slightly. Handshakes are also common, especially in urban areas.

(2) Clothing: Indians generally dress modestly, particularly in religious or traditional settings. When visiting temples or religious sites, it is recommended to cover your shoulders and knees. In more conservative areas, it is advisable to dress modestly in public.

(3) Shoes: It is customary to remove your shoes before entering religious places, homes, and some shops or restaurants. Look for clues such as shoes left outside the entrance or follow the locals' lead.

(4) Personal Space: In crowded areas, personal space may be limited. It is common for people to stand close to each other in queues or on public transport. Be prepared for bustling streets and crowded spaces, especially in popular tourist destinations.

(5) Festivals and Religious Observances: India is known for its vibrant festivals and religious celebrations. Respect local customs and traditions during these events, and be prepared for possible closures or altered schedules of shops, transportation, and services.

(6) Photography: Always seek permission before taking photographs of people, particularly in rural areas or religious sites. It is respectful to ask for consent and be sensitive to people's privacy.

(7) Dining Etiquette: When dining in India, it is common to eat with your right hand, using your fingers. However, utensils are also provided in most places. It is polite to wait for the host to start eating before you begin. In formal settings, following proper table manners is appreciated.

Asia Odyssey Golden Triangle Tour
Asia Odyssey organised our tour extremely well and before we visited tailored our itinerary to our specific needs, including several changes to the schedule which were all catered for promptly and without fuss. The tour guides (Mr. Karan Bagal in Delhi, Mr. Dharmendra Singh in Agra and  Mr. Devendra Khangarot in Jaipur) were all knowledgeable and made our visits very enjoyable despite the 44degrees of heat.
Our very friendly driver, Mr. Ravi Kushwah, could not have been more helpful and seemed to have endless bottles of chilled water for us.
Altogether a great experience.

India, Bhutan and Kathmandu- Excellent Trip!
From planning, visa's, hotels, guides and drivers, Asian Odyssey Travel was perfect. My wife and I just got back from enjoying our travel between Delhi, Agra, Bhutan and Kathmandu. We were met on arrival at Delhi and had guides and drivers for 10 days up to the time we arrived at the Kathmandu for our flight home. We were given top attention by everyone, including AOT's Kyle who kept watch during our trip. Everything was wonderful! The food and hotels were all excellent. Of course, the highlights were the Taj Mahal at sunrise, traveling through Bhutan, seeing their beautiful people (and Tigers Nest) and taking in the intensity of Kathmandu. If we ever travel to the area again, I would not hesitate to use AOT again!
