After breakfast, check out of the hotel to make a full day of the visit of Old and Delhi. We will visit the majestic Jama Masjid Mosque, built in 1656 by Emperor Shah Jahan, with three imposing black and white marble domes and two twin minarets flanking its majestic central arch. A grand staircase of red sandstone leads to the magnificent arched doorways.
We will also visit Raj Ghat, the Mahatma Gandhi Mausoleum, erected in 1963 in the place where Gandhi lived from 1917 to 1930. It was built by Charles Correa as a tribute to Gandhi, to disseminate his ideas, his letters, his photographs and other documents that mark the trajectory of the search for freedom. Enjoy a fascinating “Man-Drawn Cart” Rickshaw ride at Chandni Chowk to see its typical markets and bazaars. We will also take a panoramic tour of the Red Fort.
In the afternoon we will visit the modern part of Delhi. The tour begins with the wide avenue where the parliament is located, surrounded by large gardens and various administrative buildings; at one of its ends is the Puerta de la India, a triumphal arch that commemorates the First World War; on the other Rashtrapati Bhawan, wonderful structure and official residence of the President of India. The architecture is a mixture between the Indian and European styles, with a strong syncretism between elements of the Mughal Empire and Buddhist and Hindu art.
We will also visit the Qutub Minar, a five-story tower of victory. This monument looms over the historic site where Qutbuddin Aibak laid the foundations of the Delhi Sultanate. In 1193 he built the Mosque of Quwwat-ul-islam (Power of Islam) and the Qutub Minar to announce the advent of the Muslim sultans. You will also visit the temple of the Sikhs (Gurudwara Bangla Sahib), one of the main and most important temples of the Sikh religion. Everyone is welcome at this temple, regardless of age, religion or social status. The Sikh religion is the ninth religion with the largest number of believers in the world and its main motto is to see God in each one of us.
Hence, equality is above all. Perhaps these tenets of faith explain the hospitality with which the temple staff receive hundreds of people daily. What is most striking about this generosity is the offering of a humble meal to all the pilgrims who, for one reason or another, have decided to come to Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. Accommodation at the hotel.
DAY 03 DELHI – JAIPUR
After breakfast at the hotel, drive to Jaipur. Near the village of Samode, about 42 kilometers from Jaipur, there is a building ordered to be built by the nobles of the court of Amber.

Although the structure is made of sandstone, the interiors were decorated with marble, mosaic walls, wall paintings, mirrors.
In 1987, the palace became a hotel with 43 rooms and all kinds of luxuries, which has allowed for stupendous conservation. On arrival in Jaipur, check into the hotel.

A beautiful example of a Mughal walled city, with well-differentiated public and private areas and imposing gates. Its architecture, a fusion of Hindu and Islamic styles, reflects Akbar’s secular vision and way of ruling.
The main buildings of the imperial palace complex, clustered together in a series of terraces, formed the core of the city. The concentric terraces clearly divide the public spaces from the private royal quarters. It was abandoned due to its inability to provide it with a water supply.

It is one of the most famous and photographed buildings in the world. Its perfect proportions and exquisite symmetry have been described as ”a vision, a dream, a poem, a marvel”. This majestic mausoleum with a garden, simulating the garden of the Islamic paradise, used around 20,000 workers who worked on it for 12 years until it was completed in 1643.
Of special beauty is the marble fence, delicately carved in filigree in a single piece of marble and which guarded the area around the royal tombs, as well as the lotus pond that reflects the image of the mausoleum and owes its name to the pipes, in the form of a lotus, from its sources. Then visit the Red Fort of Agra.
“This fort is situated on the west bank of the Yamuna and built between 1565 and 1573.
