Agra and Jaipur: A Quick 2-Day Trip
| Destinations | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Jaipur | Amer Fort, City Palace, Evening Market |
| Agra | Taj Mahal and Drive Back to Delhi |
Day 01: Delhi- Jaipur
The trip would start early in the morning, preferably by 7 am. The road to Jaipur is in itself a refreshing drive. Amber Fort will be the first stop after reaching Jaipur. Accredited as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amer fort (or as sometimes referred to as Amber Fort) is actually an ancient citadel of the ruling Kachhwahas of Amber, who later shifted their capital to the plains. It would take closely two hours to enjoy the fort and its ruins. Even today, it echoes the royalty of the dynasty.
On returning from Amer Fort, check inn at the hotel and let your hunger subside! The next destination would be the City Palace which was established by Jaipur Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Undoubtedly, it is also another magnificent architecture which reflects the valour of the ruling kingdom. It shows an eclectic mix of the Mughal and Rajput architecture. One part of the Palace has a museum which exhibits the chariots, weapons, attires of the royal people.
There are plenty of shops and emporium where the shopaholics can get their desire fulfilled! Check out the indigenous handmade jewelleries and embroideries.
Day 02: Jaipur - Agra - Delhi
The day will start as early as 7am. After breakfast, drive to Agra where awaits the ethereal beauty of Taj Mahal. It’s difficult to explain how beautiful the monument is unless one visits the place. Completed in 1653 A.D, it was created by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite Queen, Mumtaz. It will take at least four hours to roam around the Taj Mahal complex. No number of photographs is enough to satisfy the best shot of this phenomenal beauty.
Take your time to relax and admire the World’s wonder. After getting out, complete your lunch and drive to Delhi.
