After breakfast, you'll meet with your driver-guide and enjoy a scenic morning drive to Jaipur, often referred to as the 'Pink City' for its distinctly coloured buildings.

The scenic drive from Jaipur to Agra will take approximately 4hrs.

Arriving in Agra, your afternoon will be dedicated to exploring the incredible Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture and grandeur.

As you stroll through its elaborate halls and gardens, you'll feel yourself transported back to an era of opulence and power that once defined this great empire which, from the late-16th century through the late-17th century, is said to have been the richest and most powerful empire in the world.
