Day 1- New Delhi

Upon arrival at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, you will be

welcomed by your &Beyond India host and chauffeured to your hotel

“Oberoi Hotel, Delhi”.

Check in time at the hotel is 1400 hours.

The Oberoi is located in New Delhi, India’s capital city. The Oberoi New

Delhi reflects the city’s spirit in a harmonious blend of tradition and

contemporary sophistication. Located close to the city centre near

business, commercial and shopping districts, the luxury hotel overlooks

Delhi’s prestigious Golf Club on one side and the heritage site of

Humayun’s Tomb on the other. Exquisite interiors, impeccable service

and fine cuisine combine to make this the Capital’s most graceful and

elegant hotel. The award-winning hotel is ideal for business travel or

holidays to explore the cultural wonders of Delhi.

New Delhi, the capital of India is a modern buzzing metropolitan city

with remnants of the past strewn amongst the modern buildings. Much

of New Delhi was planned by Sir Edwin Lutyen’s, who laid out a

grandiose central administrative area as a testament to British imperial

pretensions.

Delhi was established between 900 B.C and 1930. Delhi's famous "seven

cities" range from the 12th century Quila Rai Pithora, built by Prithviraj

Chauhan, to the imperial Shahjahanabad, constructed by the Mughals

in the 17th century.

Of the many attractions in Delhi, the major sites are the Rashtrapati

Bhawan designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens as the British Viceroys Palace,

Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi) where the Red Fort is, or Jama Masjid in the

famed Chandni Chowk in the heart of Old Delhi.

Spend two nights at Oberoi Delhi. Accommodation is in a Premier Plus

Room with ensuite facilities. Your stay is on bed & breakfast basis.

Day 2 - New Delhi/ Agra

This morning, you will be met and driven to Agra. (Approx 3 ½ hours’

drive)

Agra: The city of Agra flourished under the patronage of the emperors

Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan and attracted artisans from Persia and

central Asia. Agra is where Emperor Shah Jahan engraved his immortal

love for his Empress in marble, the Taj Mahal. Agra is still famous for

handicrafts products such as inlay work on marble, carpets, jewellery,

zari and embroidery work.

On arrival you will be met and assisted with your check in at The Oberoi

Amarvilas. Considered as one of India’s best hotels, The Oberoi

Amarvilas stands unmatched in its grandeur and style. Being only 600

mtrs away from the Taj Mahal, every single room in this property looks

over the monument.

Once you have settled in, you will embark on a guided tour of the Itmad-

ud-Daulah and the Taj Mahal; to view it by Sunset.

Itmad-ud-Daulah: Created almost a decade before the Taj Mahal, this

tomb was the first of its kind to be built on the banks of the Yamuna

river. It belonged to Mizra Ghiyas Beg, the Persian nobleman who was

Mumtaz Mahals (in whoms memory the Taj was built) grandfather and

Akbar and Jehangir’s advisor.

Taj Mahal: Said to be one of the most elegant and a harmonious building

in the world, Taj Mahal is the manifestation of the wealth and luxury

of Mughal art as seen in its architecture, garden design, painting, and

calligraphy.

Please Note: The entry tickets for visiting the Taj Mahal will be valid

for 3 Hrs only. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has declared

that the Main Dome & 04 Cupola’s would undergo clay packing W.e.f.

April 2018 till November 2018. They would restart the restoration work

from the front facia of the Dome from April & move on towards the rear

side in anti-clockwise direction so that in beginning September the

scaffoldings do not interfere with the view of the Taj while one enters

the complex. However the view from Mehtab Bagh would remain

interfered between August & November as per our assumptions. At

present as per the ASI’s timeline the entire work on the main building

of the Taj Mahal would be completed till November 2018.

Spend One Night at Oberoi Amar Vilas, Agra. Accommodation will be

in a Premier Room . Your stay will be on Bed & Breakfast Basis.

Day 3 - Agra

Today you will visit the Taj Mahal at Sunrise, it is fantastic to see the

Followed by a visit to the Agra Fort.

Agra Fort - One of the finest Mughal forts in India, Agra Fort was built

entirely out of red sandstone by Akbar in the 16th century over an

existing mud-brick fortification created by the Lodi’s. This fort was

occupied by four generations of Mughal Emperors and functioned as

their headquarters when Agra was the capital. Additional palaces and

courtyards were built in white marble by Emperor Shah Jahan who

resided and was eventually imprisoned here by his son Aurangzeb for

eight years in the white marble tower and palace called Musamman Burj

and Khas Mahal which overlooked Taj Mahal, the tomb of his wife

Mumtaz. Other notable buildings in the fort are the Diwan-e-Am &

Diwan-e-Khas (halls of public and private audience), Pearl Mosque,

famous for being one of the original 'Project Tiger' reserves and it still

affords one of the best opportunities anywhere in India of seeing a

tiger. At the centre of the park lay the ruins of the 10th to 16th century

Ranthambhore Fort which dominates the leafy forests from its perch

Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds, a five storey high Baroque- like

structure built to enable the veiled ladies of the harem to observe the

street scenes below and remain unnoticed.

Observatory Tower: Also known as the Jantar Mantar, which was built

between 1728 and 1734 and houses precise instruments for measuring

Day 9 – Jaipur

Visit Amber Fort followed by Anokhi Museum

The historical fort of Amer is ideally placed on a high hill overlooking

the Maota Lake with its saffron garden island, 11 kilometres from the

pink city of Jaipur and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built

in 1593, but fully completed in the 18th century, the Fort is quartered,

each boasting a private courtyard. True to the times, the Fort features

Indo-Islamic design, illustrating ruddy sandstone and pearlescent

marble, with massive bulwarks and successions of ingresses along

charming cobbled pathways. An architectural masterwork, the Fort

channels the wind to breeze over a water cascade within the palace,

brilliantly incorporating an artificial cooling system. The palace and

Fort make up a single compound, separated by a concealed passageway.

This channel was meant as an escape route in times of war that would

allow the royal family and others in the Amer Fort to seek refuge in the

formidable Jaigarh Fort located in the same Mountain Range area.

The Anokhi museum of Hand Printing is located in a wonderfully

restored haveli within walking distance of the Amer Fort, and exhibits

an active acquisition program with a varietal of block printed textiles,

alongside animated images, time honoured photographs, antiquated

wood and brass tools, and related craft-like objects that provide a

window into the lives of an ancient people. The art of block textile

printing can be traced back centuries, easily considered to be the

slowest and oldest form of textile printing, and was practiced across

the East by imprinting various patterns onto textiles, by means of

chiselled wooden blocks. Today, India is one of the largest producers

and exporters of block printed fabrics in the world. The museum also

houses contemporary textiles works, featuring pioneering designs

fashioned by talented artisans. The structure was brilliantly restored

employing traditional resources, age-old design approaches, and expert

local craftsmen, earning a much deserved UNESCO award for ‘Cultural

Heritage Conservation.
