Delhi: A Tale Of Two Worlds

The tour starts in India’s capital city, Delhi, home to some of the world’s oldest societies and modern amenities. Old Delhi—New Delhi forms a blend between the ancient and the modern city.

Old Delhi: India’s history is visible with the UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and other sites. Visitors often meander through the lanes of Chandni Chowk, travel in rickshaws, and save local street food.

New Delhi: British colonial designs are on display, especially with the India Gate, the Presidential Palace known as Rashtrapati Bhavan, and the Parliament House bearing a stately look. Popular attractions include Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, and other modern architectural wonders.

Delhi has a diverse culinary experience, with classic dishes such as butter chicken, kebabs, and biryani reflecting its Mughal past. Street food classics such as chaat, parathas, and jalebi highlight the city's vivid flavors and unique culinary culture.

Agra: Home To Eternal Love

Agra is known for the Taj Mahal, an emblem of love and one of the wonders of the new world. Emperor of India—Shah Jahan built this iconic structure—in honor of his Queen—Mumtaz Mahal. Tourists often visit the Taj Mahal in the morning or in the evening to see the sun rise or sunset and its reflection on the Yamuna River.

The Agra Fort, the former home of the Mughal Emperors in a red sandstone fortress, is a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site for tourists. The Mehtab Bagh is a beautiful garden located on the banks of the Yamuna River facing the Taj Mahal.

Visitors should savor exotic concoctions of kebabs, biryanis, and one specialty of Agra, the Petha, a sweetmeat.

Jaipur: The Pink City’s Royal Charm

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is also known around the world as the Pink City and its magnificent palaces, great forts, and colorful bazaars.

Located on a hill, the Amber Fort can be accessed by traveling on an elephant or in a jeep. This fort showcases the Rajput and Mughal architectural styles—exquisite mirror work, artistic courtyards, and superior visions of the hill ranges.

Nestled in the middle of Jaipur, City Palace, the former palace of the kings, is also a regional museum indoors exhibiting accounts and relics, apparel, and arms. The Jantar Mantar, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, will let visitors explore the astronomical observation center.

The Hawa Mahal or Palace of Wind, is a pink sandstone monument with 953 windows for the royal women to watch street celebrations from a close range without being observed. In addition to the city’s popular attractions, Jaipur is a destination for world-class shopping at popular bazaars such as Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar, showcasing jewelry or gem stones, clothing or fabrics, artwork, or pottery.

Jaipur's regional dishes, such as Dal Baati Churma, a nutritious dish of lentils, wheat buns, and sweetened flour, take you on a culinary journey. Other popular delicacies include Ghevar, a traditional festival sweet, and Laal Maas, a thick, spicy Rajasthani mutton dish.
