Activities

Red Fort

P a g e | 5

Red Fort

Named for the pink-red sandstone from which it is built, the Red Fort is located deep in the centre of Delhi and is one

of the city’s most compelling sights. This magnificent building was built in 1648 and was the residence of India’s

Mughal Emperors for almost two centuries, as well as the headquarters for events of ceremonial and political

significance. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing several museums, it is an exquisite and immaculately

preserved example of Islamic architecture, featuring octagonal towers, turrets and opulent facades inlaid with white

marble, as well as elements of Persian and Hindu design.

Jama Masjid New Delhi

The majestic Jama Masjid – meaning ‘world-reflecting’ mosque – is Old Delhi’s principal place of worship, and the

largest and most renowned of its kind in India. Built in the 17th century by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan – who

also built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort – it’s an elaborate structure featuring an expansive geometric base topped

with globe-shaped minarets crafted from strips of red sandstone and white marble, and a massive courtyard that can

hold up to 25 000 people. Jama Masjid is particularly impressive just before dusk, when its rosy hues intensify in the

glow of the setting sun.

Chandni Chowk

Situated in Delhi’s historical old town, frenetic Chandni Chowk – meaning ‘moonlit square’ – is one of the city’s

oldest, busiest and most famed shopping areas, built in the 17th century and originally intersected by (now defunct)

of wares ranging from traditional Indian sweets and other delicacies, to leather goods, electronics, intricately

embellished saris and tailor-made suits. But even if you’re not up for any retail therapy, the sights, sounds and

atmosphere of this pulsing, labyrinthine marketplace are captivating enough in their own right.

Raj Ghat

Named after a historical ghat of Old Delhi located nearby, Raj Ghat is a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, marking the

spot where he was cremated after his assassination in 1948. Housed in an open-air garden area inside a walled

complex, the memorial consists of a simple, flat black platform (reflecting the simplicity of Gandhi’s life) that is kept

constantly decorated with an abundance of fresh flowers. An eternal flame burns at one end, symbolising the ever-

lasting legacy of this great man. Two museums devoted to Mahatma Gandhi, his life and teachings are located

nearby.

India Gate

Also known as the Delhi Memorial or the All India War Memorial, the India Gate was built in commemoration of the

roughly 80 000 Indian soldiers who died representing their country in World War One and on various other

battlefields, and whose names are inscribed on the structure. Unveiled in 1931, its distinctive arch is reminiscent of

the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and the Gateway of India in Bombay, and is one of the trademark sights of New Delhi.

Rashtrapati Bhawan

Located in New Delhi, India, Rashtrapati Bhavan is home to the president of the world’s largest democracy and

epitomises India’s strength, its democratic traditions and secular character.

It was Sir Lutyens who conceptualised the H-shaped building, covering an area of about 5 acres on a 330-acre estate.

The mansion features a total of 340 rooms spread over four floors, and the grounds are rich in biodiversity with open

spaces, forest cover, parks, gardens, patches of wilderness, numerous fruit-bearing trees and water bodies.

P a g e | 7 Humayun's Tomb

The mausoleum complex of Humayun, India’s second Mughal Emperor, was commissioned by his widow in 1565 and

was the first garden tomb to be built in India, taking seven years to complete. Humayun had travelled widely in Persia

and Central Asia during his lifetime, and many of the architectural principles he brought back from these journeys

were incorporated into the building at his wife’s instructions. With its double domes, decorative inlaid marble and

vast garden with pools connected by channels, this 16th Century building set the stage for the style that culminated

in the Taj Mahal almost 100 years later.

Qutub Minar

The majestic Qutub Minar is a heritage building located in downtown Mehrauli in India. Standing tall at 73-metres,

the tower consists of 5 storeys with a flight of spiral stairs leading to its top. The walls are adorned with decorative

motifs and Quranic inscriptions. At the foot of the tower lie other monuments of historical significance, such as the

Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque and the Iron Pillar of Delhi. The Amazing race Australia used this site as a pitstop in the

second series. Visitors can take advantage of stunning photo opportunities.

Home of the world-famous Taj Mahal, Agra is one of India’s prime tourist destinations for specifically this reason,

though its attractions also extend to an array of other impressive historical sights. These include the red-hued Agra

Fort, the sacred Jama Masjid mosque and Itmad-ud-Daulah’s tomb, with its white marble facade embellished with

intricate inlaid designs and semi-precious gems. The Taj, however, is in a league of its own and needless to say is a

must-see for any visitor to the city. Commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the 15th century as a

memorial to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, it is an architectural masterpiece of exquisite craftsmanship and

perfect proportions.

Overnight: Hotel Trident Agra View iBrochure

Day 6: Trident Hotel Jaipur, Jaipur (Sat, 26 October)

Day Itinerary

The day begins early with a Sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal. Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel and

will take you to the Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world -- a monument of love created by Emperor Shah

Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal and perhaps the most perfect architectural monument of the

world.

Taj Mahal

The iconic Taj Mahal is not only an architectural masterpiece, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the new

Seven Wonders of the World – it’s also the enduring legacy of a royal love story. It was commissioned in the 15th

century by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan after the death of his third and favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, to serve

as her final resting place and a symbol of his eternal affection for her. Combining Islamic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish

and Indian design elements, it’s an awe-inspiring structure of elegant domes and white marble, which changes colour

along with the light – pink at sunrise, pearly white in the afternoon and silver-gold in the full moon.

Return to your hotel for breakfast. Later, you will be picked up again for a guided tour of Agra Fort - a testament to

the rise and fall of the Mughal empire built by Emperor Akbar in red sand stone over 400 years ago.

Agra Fort

Known as the Red Fort of Agra, this walled imperial city was founded in 1565 by the Emperor Akbar (1556-1605) and

is a well-deserving UNESCO World Heritage site, located just 2.5 kilometres from the famous Taj Mahal. Its palaces,

grand mosques and elaborate public hall are crafted from pink-red sandstone and are testament to an era when

Indo-Muslim art, strongly marked by influences from Persia, was at its height. Emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj

Mahal for his deceased wife, was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb in Agra Fort. He is said to have died in the

Musamman Burj, a marble tower he himself built, with one of the most alluring views of the Taj Mahal.

P a g e | 13 Later, you will be met by our representative at the hotel who will assist you with the check-out formalities. You will

then start your trip to Jaipur, the Pink city, en-route stopping at Fatehpur Sikri, for a guided tour of the deserted

capital of Emperor Akbar approximately 35 kms outside Agra. Built in the 16th century, this city was abandoned 12

years later due to a scarcity of water.

Fatehpur Sikri

A highlight in the province of Uttar Pradesh, Fatehpur Sikri served briefly as the capital of the Mughal Empire from

1571 to 1585. This world heritage site is rated as one of the best preserved collections of Mughal architecture in

India. Surrounded by a six kilometre wall, with the fourth being a lake at the time, a day can be spent exploring the

elaborate structures within. Marvel at the impressive Jama Masjid mosque, the detailed palaces built for Emperor

Akbar’s wives, the public and private discussion halls and vast ornamental pool; all of which took over 15 years to

conceptualise and build.

After visiting Fatehpur Sikri, continue your drive to Jaipur. On arrival at the hotel in Jaipur, you will again be met by

our representative and he will assist you with the check in formalities.

The rest of the day is free for you. You can either relax and enjoy the facilities of the hotel or explore the city.

Fringed by the rugged Aravali Hills, Jaipur is the capital and largest city in India’s northern state of Rajasthan. This city

is famed for being India’s first planned city featuring a multitude of pink terracotta buildings within the walled

historic centre, earning it the nickname,’The Pink City’. Jaipur falls within the Golden Triangle, a popular tourist

circuit, which includes Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, and serves as a gateway to the neighbouring desert cities of Jaisalmer

and Jodhpur. This colourful city is a combination of tradition and modernity and offers visitors vibrant bazaars, lavish

palaces and ancient temples. The salmon-hued old city is home to the opulent City Palace, encompassing an

impressive assortment of palatial structures, sprawling gardens, courtyards and buildings. Don’t miss the fairy-tale

splendour of the Amber Fort, set against the backdrop of the arid landscape.

Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds)

One of Jaipur’s most recognised buildings, the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) is known for its iconic façade. Small

windows, decorated with intricate latticework create a honeycomb-like appearance. The original intention of the

lattice was to allow the royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street below without being seen. The cooling

effect, provided by the breeze passing through the small windows, gave the palace its name. Built in 1799 by

Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the unique construction was originally designed to look like the crown of Krishna. A

panoramic view of Jaipur can be had from the top of the building.

Jaipur City Palace

City Palace forms one of the most famous tourist attractions and a major landmark in Jaipur. The beautiful palace

was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh during his reign. Among the various forts and palaces of Jaipur, City Palace

stands apart, with its outstanding art and architecture.

Jantar Mantar Jaipur

In 1734, the year of its completion, the Jai Singh Observatory was the last outpost of medieval science. From the

outside, the eighteen fixed observational instruments look more like playground apparatus than sighting devices, but

they were used to measure the position of the sun, stars and planets. Built by Jai Singh, the first Maharaja of Jaipur

who founded the city in 1727, the observatory is one of a handful. Jai Singh, fulfilling a lifelong interest in

mathematics and astronomy, built observatories in Delhi, Jaipur, Ujjain, Mathura and Benares. The Jaipur

observatory is the largest and best preserved of these.

Udaipur City Palace

Situated above Lake Pichola, Udaipur City Palace has housed many royals over four centuries who have each added

their own unique preferences to the establishment. The palace is a one of a kind in Rajasthan. Udaipur City Palace

was constructed entirely out of marble and granite which makes it highly luxurious. The inside is even more so with

its inlays of coloured glass, engravings, towers, and balconies.

Jagdish Temple

Completed in 1651, Jagdish Temple is situated just outside the royal palace. The temple can be seen as soon as
