Day 3 of the Rajputana Splendour Tour would see you covering a distance of 203 kms to Agra, the city of the ethereal Taj Mahal. Enroute, you will stop at Sikandara that houses the tomb of Emperor Akbar. Built in red sandstone, this monument is one of the finest examples of the famed Mughal style of architecture. In fact, a visit to Sikandara would be a prelude to what lies in store for you in form of the Taj Mahal. You will then drive through the busy streets of Agra towards hotel Jaypee Palace, a fine blend of traditional hospitality and modernity.
Later in the day, enjoy a tonga ride to the Taj Mahal, one of the most poignant symbols of love ever beheld by man. In fact, this marble structure is the most famous symbol of India that attracts tourists in hordes. Many even go on to say that a single visit to the Taj Mahal is worth the entire trip to India. As you walk through the corridor, don't be surprised to see your hand moving to touch the cool marble that has been touched by thousands of tourists who have visited Taj Mahal in the past. Besides, your guide will be there to give you all the details about the Taj Mahal, right from its rich architecture to its history. Your guide will also take a photo shoot of you with the Taj Mahal.
As part of the Rajputana Splendour Tour, you will travel to Agra Fort, an impressive structure built as a military structure by Mughal Emperor Akbar. However, this red sandstone fort was later transformed by Shah Jahan to a grand palace. Besides, the Agra Fort was the very place where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb in 1658. Visit the local market to buy white pigeons that would be released by you in the open air in memory of Shah Jahan. Your guide will also take you to a marble house where you can learn about marble inlaying or simply indulge in kite flying in the playground. Later drive back to the hotel where you will stay overnight
