This magnificent tomb offers an altogether different experience bathed in the soft light of the morning, like a poem in marble. An ethereal atmosphere pervades the whole place, the subdued light highlighting the beauty of the monument.
Then visit Agra Fort, built by Emperor Akbar on the banks of Yamuna, beautified with palaces and gardens. Within the fort are the Khas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) and Anguri Bagh (Grape Garden). Many events which led to the construction of the Taj Mahal, took place here.

DAY 05 JAIPUR

Morning visit Amer Fort with elephant ride. Amer is a classic, romantic fort-palace. The outer walls look rugged and time-ravaged, but the interior is a virtual paradise. Miniatures painted on the walls depict festivals, hunting and war scenes. Precious stones and mirrors are embedded into the plaster. A major attraction at Amer is the Elephant ride all the way up to the Fort entrance. This journey on caparisoned elephants in royal Maharaja Style is a truly unforgettable experience. Inside the Fort visit the Jag Mandir or Hall of Victory with the famed Sheesh Mahal – a room with all the four walls and ceiling completely embedded with glittering mirror pieces specially imported from Belgium during that period.
Afternoon visit the City Palace, the former Royal residence, part of it now a museum. A small portion is still used by Jaipur’s royal family. Built in the style of a fortified campus, the palace covers almost one-seventh in area of the city.
