Delhi has experienced the shifting of the reigns from one ruler to the other, from the Hindu Kings to Muslim Sultans. The year 1803 saw the city came under the British rule and it was established as their capital in 1911. As the city is known to have the reputation of overthrowing the occupants of its throne, it was officially declared the Capital of India after independence in 1947.

Our tour operators have managed to facilitate you to experience the glory of Agra, which was at its peak during the reign of Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan period.
Akbar had laid the foundation of the modern city, Akbarabad in 1558, which is as we see it now and made it the epicenter of art, commerce and culture and it was Shah Jahan who saw it in its full bloom. Most of the buildings belonging to the era between mid-16th century and 17th century were built in the modern Mughal style.

Jaipur :
The capital of the State of Rajasthan in North Western region of India, Jaipur is among the first planned cities in modern Asia and is known to have a temple at every 100 meters. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh wanted to build a city remembered for its design. In this regard he appointed the best scholars to plan the city of Jaipur and thus laid its foundation in 1727. He was born in the capital of the Kachwahas and became a young ruler at the age of 11 after the demise of his father Maharaja Bishan Singh in 1699.
Led by Pandit Vidyadhar the scholars took up the construction of the city and divided it into 9 blocks. Wide roads cross each other at exact right angles. The main streets were 100 meters wide while the rest are 30 meters. Jaipur is also surrounded by an 18 ft wall, which has 7 gates in all. There was a specific reason to keep seven gates keeping in mind that the general public lived in only 7 blocks, and the remaining 2 were reserved for the Administration and the Palace.
