Tour Overview

Once capital of India under the Mughals, a lasting legacy of this time are the superb monuments which date from this era. Perhaps the most famous example is Emperor Shah Jahan’s Taj Mahal, built in loving memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz, who tragically died in childbirth in 1631. Constructed entirely of white marble and inlaid with semi-precious stones it was completed in 1653. In total, some 20,000 people from India and central Asia worked on the construction of the immense Mughal mausoleum. In addition, you’ll visit Agra Fort, which comprises myriad examples of Mughal architecture and beyond Agra, Emperor Akbar’s awesome deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri.
