Itineary Detail

Today, travel by road to Jaipur, You will stop to visit Fatehpur Sikri-the abandoned capital-built by the Great Mughal Emperor Akbar during 1570 and 1585. It's a citadel-one of the most excellent examples of the culmination of Hindu and Muslim architecture. Shortly after its completion, as the small, spring-fed lake that supplied the city with water dried, and probably its border with the Rajputana areas in the North-West, which were increasingly in chaos, the emperor abandoned Fatehpur Sikri, moving his capital to Lahore, currently in Pakistan.

About 60 miles before Jaipur city, you  take a detour of Chand Baori (in Abhaneri), an ancient stepwell, built in between 800 and 900 A.D. The land of Rajasthan is extremely dry, and drinking water was always scarce. So, the king Chanda ordered the construction of the stepwell that could conserve water enough for his people. The step-well consists of 3,500 small steps over 13 stories and extends 100 ft deep into the ground. It's one of the fascinating architecture of India and worth visiting.

You will arrive in Jaipur-. Adorned with pink sandstone palaces, majestic forts and verdant green gardens against a scenic backdrop of the Aravalli hills, Jaipur represents the charm of India’s rich past and the sophistication of a flourishing metropolis. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II founded the city in 1727, when he decided to shift his capital from Amer. A renowned architect, astronomer, and avid scientist, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II built his capital with geometric precision and made Jaipur one of the most well-planned cities in India. Late afternoon. Check into your rooms and balance of the day is at leisure.
