Jaipur, the Pink City, owes its nickname to the color of the sandstone used to construct the buildings of the old city.

The city was founded between 1501 and 1504 by Sikandar Lodi, Sultan of Delhi, who made it his capital. The first Mughal emperor, Babur, sought refuge in this city after fighting with Lodi in 1526. Akbar made it the official capital of the empire in 1556. In the afternoon, visit the Red Fort of Agra . Overnight stay.

Day 6. Agra-Delhi (200 km, 4 hours.)

Breakfast at the hotel. Today you will visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World: the Taj Mahal (closed on Fridays). The monument that has brought worldwide fame to Agra and become a symbol of India is the Taj Mahal. This mausoleum was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1631 in honor of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, the Lady of the Taj, who died giving birth to their fourteenth child in 1629. Construction, which involved 20,000 people, was not completed until 1653 and is the most representative example of Mughal architecture. The chief architect, Isa Khan, designed the complex within a rectangle measuring 508 by 304 meters, with a central garden flanked on all four sides by octagonal pavilions. The mausoleum, built entirely of white marble, stands on a marble base with a minaret, also white, at each corner, reaching a height of 41 meters. The central section consists of four small domes surrounding a larger one in the middle. The remains of this couple rest in the crypt of this two-story building. While the architectural ensemble is impressive in itself, the decoration known as pietra dura, with its magnificent details such as floral arabesques and geometric motifs in semi-relief adorned with precious stones, among other elements, makes this structure truly unique. After the visit, we depart for Delhi, arriving and transferring to the hotel. Overnight stay.
