Breakfast at the hotel.

We start with the Mughals who ruled a large part of the subcontinent for more than 350 years. Delhi being the imperial capital lived up to its image of the most illustrious town of medieval India. Today Delhi’s walled city is known as Old Delhi. The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan shifted the Mughal capital from Agra to Delhi. Possessing remarkable talent in architecture he brought about Delhi’s glorious renaissance. Trade flourished and continues to do so… We have an exciting way for you to discover these maze-like lanes. Take an exhilarating cycle rickshaw ride that passes through the colourful Kinari bazaar. This experience ends at the majestic Jama Masjid, 18th Century Mosque known for its restrain in architecture.

Drive past the Imperial part of the city designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens for the British in the 1920s. Continue along the main avenue, the impressive Rajpath to the World War I memorial arch, the India Gate and past the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the President’s residence and the Parliament Buildings.

At Bangla Sahib Gurdwara, a historic Sikh shrine in central Delhi, everybody is welcome to a meal, and nearly everybody comes. The ‘langar,’ or free kitchen, operated by a Sikh shrine in Delhi dishes out an astonishing 10,000 meals a day. Anyone can volunteer at a Gurdwara, and although the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara is the largest, you’ll find smaller versions in most Delhi neighbourhoods. Everyone is welcome to come to Bangla Sahib Gurdwara and be part of Vaṇḍ Chakkō, the Sikh uplifting concept that translates to ‘share and consume together’.

Return to hotel. In the evening be ready for a feast, a BBQ dinner at the local restaurant.

Varanasi: Spiritual, beautiful and chaotic.

(One of the seven Holy Cities and the most favoured place for Hindus to attain a release from the cycle of life and rebirth. Myths and hymns speak of the waters of the Ganges River as the fluid medium of divine essence. A bath in the river is believed to wash away all of one’s sins. This is the longest inhabited city in the world as ancient as time itself)

Visit Akharas, the traditional place of exercise. Visit an Ashram to learn about the lifestyle of its inhabitants. After the visit return to the hotel for breakfast.

Later proceed on an excursion to Sarnath.

Buddhists worldwide look upon India as the land of the Buddha and a visit to Sarnath means a pilgrimage to the place sacred to the memory of the Enlightened One. After the Buddha attained enlightenment in Bodh gaya he came to Sarnath. In the Deer Park, he delivered his first sermon, or in the religious term, he set in motion the wheel of Law (Maha – DharmachakraPravartan).

Today As Buddhism has branched off into several different sects, we invite you to visit the temples of each of these sects. With their distinctly different architectural styles. Tibetan temple, Thai Temple, Sri Lankan, Japanese, Korean and Chinese temple. We visit some of the homes and workshops of weavers of the famous banaras silk saris.

Forts were an integral part of Indian history. Each place was ruled from the fort in the area and this is where the imperial court was set up. The fort in Agra was built by the emperor Akbar. This is a fine example of the Hindu elements finding their way into Islamic style of architecture. The fort is rather well known for the melancholic tale of emperor Shah Jahan who was imprisoned here by his son in an apartment that overlooked the Taj Mahal.

Check-in & relax. In the evening, let’s go out and enjoy some dinner at Rooftop restaurant.

At sunrise the long-awaited visit to the Taj Mahal. Bathed in soft light of the morning sun this monument to eternal love is truly a sight to behold. An immense mausoleum of white marble, built in Agra between 1631 and 1648 by order of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favourite wife, the Taj Mahal is the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage. Return to hotel for breakfast.

Rendezvous with Local artisans & Baby Taj.

Though Agra is synonymous with the Taj; another Mughal monument made entirely in marble has arguably more refined workmanship. Itimad-Ud-Daula fondly known as Baby Taj is the tomb of a Mughal noble.
