Jama Masjid and Chandni Chowk

Visit Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its historic minaret and surrounding architectural complex. The detailed stonework offers a glimpse into Delhi's medieval history.
India Gate
Stop at India Gate, the war memorial along New Delhi's ceremonial avenues. Depending on your sightseeing route and departure time, you may also see nearby government buildings from the outside.
After the scheduled Delhi sightseeing, drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. The road journey generally takes around three to four hours, depending on traffic and your starting point.
Check in to your hotel on arrival if accommodation is part of your booking.
Overnight stay: Agra.
Start early with a visit to the Taj Mahal, then continue to Agra Fort before travelling towards Ranthambore National Park.
Taj Mahal
Visit the Taj Mahal in the morning and see its white marble facade, intricate inlay work and formal gardens. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of Mumtaz Mahal, it remains the main attraction for many visitors to Agra.
Allow time for security checks, walking through the complex and photography before moving to the next stop.
Agra Fort
Explore Agra Fort, a historic red sandstone fortress that served as an important residence and seat of power for Mughal rulers. Its courtyards, palace buildings and fortified walls offer a closer look at Agra's imperial history.
Fatehpur Sikri – En Route Stop
If your confirmed itinerary and departure time allow, stop at Fatehpur Sikri on the journey towards Ranthambore. The historic Mughal city is associated with Emperor Akbar and contains palace buildings, courtyards and religious architecture.
The drive from Agra to Ranthambore is substantial, so this additional stop should be confirmed before travel rather than assumed as guaranteed.
Continue to your hotel or wildlife resort near Ranthambore and prepare for an early start the next morning.
Overnight stay: Ranthambore area.
The morning is reserved for the wildlife safari, followed by the journey to Jaipur.
Ranthambore National Park Safari
Head to the designated safari boarding point at the time confirmed by the operator. Enter Ranthambore National Park in a shared Jeep or Canter, depending on the vehicle assigned to your booking.
The park's landscape includes forest, rocky hills, lakes and open areas where wildlife may be spotted. During the drive, you may see Bengal tigers, leopards, deer, crocodiles and various bird species.
A safari guide or naturalist can help identify wildlife and explain the park's environment. Tiger sightings depend on the animals' movements and conditions on the day; a tiger sighting is not guaranteed.
Safari zones and vehicle assignments are governed by park booking rules and availability. Follow the guide's instructions and park regulations throughout the experience.
Drive to Jaipur
After the safari, continue to Jaipur. The road journey generally takes around four hours, depending on traffic and the exact starting point near Ranthambore.
Arrive in Jaipur and check in to your hotel if included in your selected package. The evening is best kept free after the early start and road journey.
Overnight stay: Jaipur.
Spend the morning exploring Jaipur's principal landmarks before returning to Delhi. Since the day includes a long drive, prioritise the key sights and confirm the schedule with your tour operator.
Amber Fort
Visit Amber Fort, a historic hilltop fortress known for its imposing gateways, courtyards and Rajput architecture. Its elevated setting offers views of the surrounding landscape.
City Palace
Explore City Palace, a royal complex with historic courtyards and buildings associated with Jaipur's royal family. Entry to museum sections depends on the applicable ticket.
Jantar Mantar
Visit Jantar Mantar, a historic astronomical observatory recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its large instruments were designed to study celestial movements and measure time.
Hawa Mahal
Stop at Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds. Its distinctive pink facade and rows of small windows make it one of Jaipur's most recognisable landmarks.
After sightseeing, depart for Delhi. The drive generally takes around five to six hours, depending on traffic and the final drop-off location.
You can be dropped off at your Delhi hotel, airport, railway station or another agreed location. If you have an onward flight, allow enough time for the road transfer and potential traffic delays.
