Amritsar-Delhi-Agra
(By flight: TBA)
Rise early to witness another highlight of the Golden Triangle Tour Package with Amritsar. Your driver and guide will collect you from the hotel early in the morning to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise.

A silent battery van will take you up to the entrance, and once inside, you will be enthralled by the magnificence of this quite remarkable white marble building and its setting.
The Taj Mahal is a UNESCO Heritage Site, and the sun rises over it—undisputedly one of the world’s most beautiful buildings. In the soft morning light, as the mist rises from the Yamuna River, it seems to float like a mirage above the surrounding landscape. Built from dazzling marble, its colour changes from white to yellow, cream, and almost orange, an exquisite image that you’ll remember forever. After a relaxed breakfast, proceed for a sightseeing tour of Agra, visiting Agra Fort, this impressive tower built by Akbar in 1565 AD.

It thrills the soul with its massive forts, magnificent palaces, exquisite temples, and lush gardens. Your first stop in today’s sightseeing tour will be Amber Fort. Amber is a classic, romantic Rajasthani fort palace. Its forbidding exterior belies an inner paradise where a beautiful fusion of Mughal and Hindu styles finds its ultimate expression.

On the other side is the Sukh Niwas, which features an early form of air conditioning where a cool climate is created by winds that blow over the water and cool the air.
Following in the tour is the City Palace, which is a sprawling complex with gorgeous buildings and a marvellous collection of art and artifacts is without parallel in Rajasthan. A major part of the City Palace now consists of the ‘Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum.’ It is also the residence of the Jaipur Royal Family. It houses the Chandra Mahal, Shri Govind Dev Temple, and the City Palace Museum. Next, you will explore Jantar Mantar, which is the largest and the best preserved of the five observatories built by Jai Singh II in different parts of the country. This observatory, consisting of outsized astronomical instruments, is still in use, and incredibly, the sundials can tell time to the nearest second!
The last place to visit in Jaipur is the Hawa Mahal, also known as the “Palace of Winds.” Its five-storey structure of sandstone plastered pink is encrusted with fine trelliswork and elaborate balconies. The palace has 953 niches and windows. Built-in 1799 by Pratap Singh, the Mahal was a royal grandstand for the palace women where they could observe street life and yet not be seen.
