JAIPUR
- The origins of the beautiful city of Jaipur can be traced back to the eighteenth
century, during the reign of Jai Singh II who ascended the Amber throne in 1699.
Jaipur today, epitomizes the spirit of Rajputana. In-spite of growing into a bustling
metropolis, it still retains it's character and history - A beautiful fusion of
the yesteryears and modernity. Popularly known as the Pink City because of the
extensive use of the locally abundant pink plastered stone, painted so in honor
of the visit of the royal consort of Queen Victoria. Jaipur thrills the soul with
its massive forts, magnificent palaces, exquisite temples and lush gardens. 
AMBER
FORT PALACE - Amber is the classic romantic Rajasthani fort palace.
Its construction was started by Man Singh I in 1592, and completed by his descendent
Jai Singh I. It's forbidding exterior belies an inner paradise where a beautiful
fusion of Mughal and Hindu styles finds it's ultimate expression. 
TAJ
MAHAL: The fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, built it in 1631 in the
memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while
accompanying her husband in Behrampur in a campaign to crush a rebellion, after
giving birth to their 14th child. Her death so crushed the emperor that all his
hair and beard were said to have grown snow white in a few months. When Mumtaz
Mahal was still alive, she extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that
he build the Taj; second, that he should marry again; third, that he be kind to
their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He
kept the first and second promises. Construction began in 1631 and was completed
in 22 years. Twenty thousand people were deployed to work on it. An Iranian architect
designed it and it is best appreciated when the architecture and its adornments
are linked to the passion that inspired it. It is a "symbol of eternal love".
Orchha
- a medieval city founded by Bundela rulers with palaces and temples of the 16th
and 17th century - which have remarkably withstood the onslaught of time. The
city is picturesquely flanked by the river Betwa. 
Morning
drive to Daswamedh Ghat and take a boat ride on the sacred river Ganges to see
the cremation Ghats and witness the living traditions of one of the world's oldest
and most important religions. (To start at 0500 hrs. for the best lifetime experience)
For you to appreciate this remarkable city, we'll transfer you to the banks of
the River Ganges before the sun rises. Board a boat with your guide and proceed
to the middle of the river, where at sunrise the sight unfolds before you. Thousands
of faithful come daily to the banks to bathe and pray while in the background,
temples and palaces rise in tiers from the water's edge. Return for a walk through
the cobblestone streets along the banks of "Ganga". As shops are opening,
the place now becomes a beehive of activity as the faithful are coming and going.
