scent of spices and the sounds of the city
fill your head, as you drift off to sleep in
this strange new land.

Day 3: Delhi City Sightseeing
Today's city sightseeing tour introduces
Old Delhi, where landmarks include the
great mosque of Jama Masjid and the Red
Fort, which dates back to the Mogul
Empire. Its main entrance, the Lahore
Gate, is symbolic of modern India's
freedom from colonialism, with crowds
gathering there on Independence Day.
You will also see Raj Ghat, the memorial
marking the spot where Mahatma Gandhi
was cremated. A drive along the magnificent Rajpath
(the Kingsway) takes you past the India
Gate (memorial to the unknown soldiers),
the President's House, and the House of
Parliament. You will be introduced to Emperor
Humayun's Tomb, an important example
of early Mogul architecture. See Qutab Minar, a complex built
during the end of the twelfth century at
the onset of Muslim rule in India. Local
Guide • A full-day local guide, well-
educated and specially-trained on the
history and culture of Delhi, will
accompany you today.

Day 4: Sikandra, Faridabad,
Agra
Today, board your coach and travel to
Agra. Stop for a visit to the Tomb of Akbar in
Sikandra. This design is of red sandstone
with decorative inlay work in yellow,
white and black marble. There are panels
of fine calligraphy of the Koran as well as
wonderful floral and geometric designs
form the decoration. You will visit the Faridabad SOS
Village, a community designed to provide
children in need with an alternative
family-style setting.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Overnight: Agra
Day 5: Agra City Sightseeing,
Taj Mahal
Set out on a tour of the city. A half-day local guide, well-educated
and specially-trained on the history and
culture of Agra, will accompany you
today. Taj Mahal • Visit the magnificent
Taj Mahal, a white marble mausoleum
begun in 1632 by the Mogul Emperor
Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite
wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The most famous
site in all of India, this exquisite
architectural feat took twenty-two years to
complete. Agra Fort • You will visit the
Agra Fort, a red sandstone fortress that
contains a miniature city within its
colossal double walls.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Overnight: Agra
Day 6: Fatehpur Sikri,
Bharatpur, Jaipur
En route visit Fatehpur Sikri, which was
the capital of the Mogul Empire for ten
years during the second half of the 16th
century, before being mysteriously
abandoned. The ruins of this virtual ghost
town, however, are in near pristine
condition. You will travel to Bharatpur, home to
the World Heritage site of Keoladeo
National Park. With a naturalist guide, enjoy a visit to
Keoladeo National Park, a wildlife
sanctuary with over 380 resident and
migrant species of birds, including the
Common, Demoiselle and the rare
Siberian Cranes. Enjoy a rickshaw ride along the narrow
road to the open wetlands. Board your coach and continue to
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. Jaipur is
known as the "Pink City" because of the
color of its crenellated walls and ancient
buildings.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Overnight: Jaipur
Day 7: Excursion to Amber,
Jaipur City Sightseeing
Today's excursion takes you to the former
capital, Amber, a fortress perched on a
hill overlooking Maotha Lake and the
desert plains of Rajasthan. Enjoy a ride on the back of a brightly
caparisoned elephant, just like the
Maharajas of the past. This fantasy ride
also gets you acquainted with the huge,
intelligent animals, which move
gracefully and nearly silently. India is
home to 50% of Asia's wild elephants and
20% of the domesticated elephants, who
play an important role in its cultural and
religious customs. The country's 3,600
domestic elephants, along with their
mahouts (drivers), are all employees of
the State Government of India in an effort
to prevent mistreatments. Inside the Amber Fort complex, which
contains gardens, temples and pillared
pavilions, you will visit Amber Palace.
This marvel was built over the course of
two centuries and is a fusion of Mogul
and Hindu influences.
Half-day city sightseeing • A city tour
will introduce a unique Indian city, laid on
a grid pattern in 1727 by the prince,
soldier and astronomer Sawai Jai Singh II,
in accordance with the Vastu Shastra, an
ancient Hindu treatise on town-planning
and architecture. City Palace Museum •
You will visit the City Palace Museum to
see traditional Rajasthani royal costumes
and miniature paintings. Jantar Mantar
• Visit Jantar Mantar, a set of
astronomical observatories built near the
City Palace in the 1730s by Maharajah Jai
Singh II. Each one of the seventeen
monumental observatories was designed
for a specific scientific purpose. Together,
they form a strangely modern, surrealistic
sculpture park that provides unique
insights on early scientific research.
Local guide • A half-day local guide,
well-educated and specially-trained on the
history and culture of Jaipur, will
accompany your group.
Free time in Jaipur • The remainder of
the day is free to plan as you wish. Don't miss the Johari Bazaar, famous as
a jewelers' market. Enjoy some shopping in this city
known for its precious stones, block-
printing and tie-dye production.
