DAY 6 AGRA - JAIPUR

After a delightful breakfast, you will be chauffeured to Jaipur, with a fascinating stopover at Akbar’s abandoned capital, Fatehpur Sikri. Situated 40 km from Agra, Fatehpur Sikri was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1571 as a tribute to the Sufi saint, Sheikh Salim Chishti. Serving as the Mughal capital for 14 years, it was eventually deserted due to water scarcity. Crafted from red sandstone, the architectural marvel harmoniously blends Hindu and Mughal influences. Even today, the entrance to the fort is accessed via the road constructed by Akbar, leading to the Buland Darwaza, an imposing 54-metre gateway. Other captivating landmarks within Fatehpur Sikri include the Hiran Minar, a memorial to Akbar’s cherished elephant, the Tomb of Sheikh Salim Chishti, Birbal’s House, and the Diwan-i-Khas. Upon reaching Jaipur, indulge in a check in at the luxurious 5-star Taj Amer Hotel.
