Fatehpur Sikri, which was once an imperial
capital frozen in time, constructed by Akbar the Great in
the 16th century. This wonderful city constructed by red
sand stones was abandoned as abruptly as it had been built.
It has been generally stated that it was due to failing
in the water supply. In the evening we will arrive in

We start today our sightseeing by
a visit to the
Agra Fort, built by three of the greatest Mughal emperors. The construction of this massive structure
began in 1565 under Akbar's reign and continued till the
time of his grandson's reign, Shah Jahan who built the impressive
imperial quarters and mosque. After the visit of Agra Fort
we proceed to visit the most beautiful monument of India,
the
Taj Mahal, an enduring monument to love, with a continually
fulfilling beauty. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah
Jahan between 1631-52, as a tomb and memorial to his beloved
wife Mumtaz Mahal (Jewel of the Palace), who died at the
age of 39 giving birth to her 14th child. We spend enough
time at Taj Mahal to take this impressive memory home.
After visiting the Taj Mahal we drive further to Gwalior.
Gwalior's strategic position between North and South India
has made it's Fort an important possession and it was
captured by several ruling houses. Some left almost as soon
as they came, while others stayed on to build and beautify
the citadel.

Khajuraho we visit Orchha. Orchha's grandeur has been
captured in stone, frozen in time, a rich legacy to the
ages. In this medieval city, the hand of time has rested
lightly and the palaces and temples built by its Bundela
rulers in the 16th and 17th centuries retain much of their
pristine perfection. After the visit of Orchha we proceed
for
Khajuraho. Arrival in Khajuraho in the late evening.
