A three cities tour of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra is the most desired tour for anyone who has little interest in India and Indian history and even if it is the above, you can visit them for the beautiful cities that they are.
Delhi, the capital of the country, is not only the city with a large number of monuments, historical sights, museums, parks, but also a new era, highly advanced structures, styles, people and much more.
Delhi is one of the oldest cities in the world and has some remnants of times gone by. Old Delhi, a place worth visiting for anyone, has monuments like Jama Masjid and a great deal of cultural significance can be seen there. This place also has many places where you can taste the richest food. Especially for non-vegetarian lovers, around Jama Masjid, a large number of restaurants serving Mughal cuisine are absolute favorites of the people. Other monuments such as Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar are a must for Mughal art.
A 160-foot tall India Gate near Parliament House is another site not to be missed. The recently built Akshardham Temple is another landmark that represents the best of Indian architecture. State emporiums and museums are another option.
For shopping, flea markets like Janpath etc. they can serve well.
Coming to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, this city is full of colors, a city that has many monuments again, but different from those of Delhi. Hawa-Mahal, is one of the best monuments here. Also known as the ‘Pink City’, it is a city that was built in the 16th century, and a walk through this ancient walled city can take you to a different platform all together. Distant from the bustle of a fast-moving metropolitan city, this city has a perfect blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture.
The museum has a collection of rare manuscripts, paintings, weapons, rugs and costumes, and Mughal and Rajasthani miniatures.
You can also explore the markets for a fine collection of leatherwork, woodcuts, handicrafts, perfumes, jewelry and don’t miss the city’s ever-famous traditional blue pottery.
Established in 1526 as the capital of the Mughal reign-Agra, a city that has many monuments, forts, etc. to be visited
Agra is a place that has three world heritage sites, Taj Mahal which is also the Seventh Wonder of the World, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri.
You can also visit Itmad-ul-daulah’s tomb, often known as the ‘Baby Taj’. It is so known because it is a pre-Taj era marble structure with garden designs and inlay work and architectural beauty.
The Delhi- Jaipur- Agra tour is a good option for anyone who wants to see the beauty of Mughal architecture and the different cultures intertwined with it. Both cities are at a distance of 5 hours drive from Delhi and therefore convenient to visit even if you have less time.
