Rajasthan Heritage Tour

Early in the morning, we will depart for Agra in our comfortable and spacious ride.

Shreds of evidence of the Mughal archaeological prowess will take you aback throughout the Agra day tour- Agra Fort is one.

As the sun sets, the evening is for you to cherish. Walk around the streets of Agra and devour the street food or go for a gourmet Mughlai dinner.

Rise and shine!

Our drive begins from Agra to Jaipur with two exciting stops along the way!

First, we will visit Fatehpur Sikri, the abandoned Mughal city, which now is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next, we will explore the ancient Abhaneri Step Well, a stunning example of India's architectural ingenuity.

After a long day of exploration and journey, we arrive in the Pink City of Jaipur.

Today in our Rajasthan heritage tour, we explore the treasures of the Pink City.

Let’s start our sightseeing with a visit to the Palace of Wind, Hawa Mahal.

If you love forts and love knowing about their history and the lives of the royals, City Palace is just the place!

Fabricated out of red and white sandstone and marble, the architecture of the Amer Fort is a beauteous fusion of Rajputana and Mughal fashion.

Walk up to the Nahargarh Fort, perched atop a rugged hill, and marvel at the breathtaking panoramas that stretch out before you.

Standing as a testament to Rajasthan’s rich past, the verdant Bada Bagh, amidst the arid desert landscape, makes for a surreal hotspot for Jaisalmer tourism.
