Day 4: Jaipur – Fatehpur Sikri – Agra (240 Km – 5 Hrs)
In the morning, after breakfast drive to the spellbinding city of Agra, stopping to visit Fatehpur Sikri along the way. Fatehpur Sikri is a deserted capital city built by Emperor Akbar in 1569 AD. It was abandoned 15 years later due to a severe water shortage. Today, it is listed as a World Heritage Monument. After this short visit, continue to Agra and check-in at the hotel on arrival. Agra is one of the most visited cities in India, and most of its visitors come for one thing: the Taj Mahal, which you will visit in the afternoon. Its white non-porous marble is a witness to the true love of emperor Shah Jehan for his beloved Mumtaz Mahal, enshrining in the edifice her mortal remains. For that reason, it is often referred to as a ‘Love Poem in Marble' (closed on Fridays). Your day ends with your return to your selected accommodation in Agra.
Overnight in Agra.

In the afternoon, drive back to Delhi, and check in to your hotel.
