In the afternoon, embark on a tour to New Delhi , driving past the Parliament House, the President's House and India Gate. Later visit Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar and Birla Temple.

In the morning the driver will take you to Agra, stopping at Sikandra to visit the architecturally marvelous tomb of Emperor Akbar.

This afternoon you spend some time exploring Agra and the 16th century Agra Fort with its battlements, apartments, gardens and audience halls. The day ends with a visit to the magnificent Taj Mahal, the moument of love, where you will witness the warm glow as the sun sets over the beautiful monument.

Early this morning you visit the Taj Mahal as the rays of the rising sun bath the marble in a divine glow, before departing for Ranthambore.

On the way you will visit the 16th century abandoned and nearly intact Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri, once ruled by Emperor Akbar. This ghost town is very well preserved and presents a perfect synthesis of Muslim, Hindu and Jain architecture.

The beautifully sculptured columns bear mute testimony to this gallant experiment to unite Hindus and Muslims.

Once you arrive in Ranthambore, visit the remains of a thousand year old fortress which now serves as a wildlife sanctuary for many animals including tigers and leopards.

Overnight stay in a luxury camp on a private reserve of the local Maharaja

You'll take game drives in the morning and evening to spot the jungle wildlife.

The Ranthambore Game Reserve is one of the few preserves where the nocturnal camera-shy tigers may be seen in daylight. Almost exterminated by the local royalty and their British rulers, the population of the Bengal tiger is slowly increasing thanks to the efforts of 'Project Tiger' and the World Wildlife Fund.
