Jaipur, popularly known as Pink City, is the colorful capital of Rajasthan. With its rich & colorful past, resplendent with tales of valor & bravery, it is now one of the most important heritage cities in India.

On our way, we shall stop by at a local rural village, learn about local life and gain an insider’s look at the rituals of daily life for dozens of families living there.
After this visit, we will continue our drive towards Bharatpur which is best known for the Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary, an important way station for many types of migratory birds including the rare Siberian Crane. This is a city with great history that was ruled by jats and has a distinct place in Jat history. On arrival, we will check into our hotel. After a brief rest, we will visit the Bird Sanctuary for a walking tour and rickshaw ride in the park with a naturalist.

On arrival check in at hotel. Agra is famous as being home to one of the seven wonders of the world – the Taj Mahal. The architectural splendor of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is a vivid remainder of the capital in the 16th and early 17th centuries.
