Optional Activities
Dinner at Local Jaipur Restaurant with Cultural Performance Enjoy the exotic flavors of Indian cuisine at a popular local restaurant. You’ll be entertained by performers in traditional attire with folk dance and music. This is a typical folklore show, not to be construed as a professional performance.

OnDay : 5 Price : $29 Half Day Agra Tour Afternoon visit to the red sandstone Agra Fort, built by Moghul Emperor Akbar in 1568. The Fort's incredible maze of courtyards, marble mosques and lavish private chambers reflect the grandeur of the Mughal Empire. Next, to the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah "a jewel box” built of the finest Indian marble embellished with mosaics and inlay of semi-precious stones. In the central chamber, view the yellow marble tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah and his wife, hand-painted with floral decorations and screens of geometric latticework. Based on its layout, designs and latticework, this mausoleum is considered the imminent precursor to the Taj Mahal. Approximate tour duration is 3 hours. OnDay : 7 Price : $29 Half Day Jaipur Tour The afternoon city tour of Jaipur begins at the magnificent 18th century Jantar Mantar Observatory. Drive past Hawa Mahal, the "Palace of Winds" built in 1799, with its lacy ornamental façade, allowing royal ladies to view the city from the windows.

The city is filled with Hindu temples and Buddhist monuments exhibiting skillful carvings, which makes it especially attractive for breathtaking photos. Visit Patan Durbar Square, a cluster of fine pagoda temples and stone statues, also serving as the economic hub of the city. At every step, you’ll see a magnificent piece of art or an image of a deity, testifying to the consummate skill of Patan's anonymous artists. The ancient palace of the Malla kings and the stone baths associated with various legends and episodes of history are especially interesting stops, along with the stone temple of Lord Krishna and the Royal Bath (Tushahity) with its intricate stone and bronze carvings.
