After breakfast at hotel We’ll start with a visit to the Raj Ghat, the memorial dedicated to the father of India – Mahatma Gandhi, to learn about the life stories and great achievements of this Indian leader. Driving past the massive Red Fort and through the chaos of the Chandni Chowk, we’ll visit the Jama Masjid, India’s second largest mosque which is made of marble and red sandstone.
Outside the mosque, our guide will lead you to explore the bustling Chandni Chowk. In the afternoon, we’ll proceed to the Qutub Minar, a soaring minaret considered the largest in India. Later, the guide will take you to the Humayun’s Tomb, the first garden mausoleum in India which inspired the design of the famous Taj Mahal.
Our next stop will be the India Gate. A giant arch in the similar architectural style of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, this is definitely the landmark of Delhi. Today’s tour will end at the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, a prominent Sikh pilgrimage center that dates back more than 300 years. Overnight Delhi

See Taj Mahal at Sunrise: Today is the highlight of our trip to India, for the visit to the world-famous Taj Mahal. Our guide will wake you up early in the morning and you are advised to pack light to get through the security check and into the Taj Mahal before most of the tourists fail to arrive. Your eyes will be lit by the first rays of sunlight on the Taj Mahal. Let’s visit it in the most beautiful light of the day, and capture the pure scenes without visitors.
After the visit, we will return to the hotel for breakfast before heading to the marvelous Agra Fort, which dates back 400 years.

Later visit the Tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daulah, aka the Baby Taj, a magnificent mausoleum that has influenced many other marble buildings, such as the Taj Mahal. Overnight Agra Meals: Breakfast
After breakfast, we will set off to Jaipur. On the way, we’ll stop to visit the Fatehpur Sikri, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In 1571, Emperor Akbar established the Fatehpur Sikri as the capital of the Mughal Empire, but soon after a battle in 1585, the once luxurious capital was abandoned and gradually became a ghost town. Follow the guide to walk through the city, and you will find structures in both Hindu and Muslim architectural styles of early Mughal that are well preserved. You will be shown around the Jama Masjid, the Tomb of Salim Chishti, the five-storey Panch Mahal, and Buland Darwaza.
The guide leaves and our driver will continue to dive you to the next destination, the Chand Baori in Abhaneri Village, which is the biggest and deepest stepwell with a history of over 10 centuries.

for Jaipur royals and now a museum exhibiting the royal articles and ancient weapons. Later, the guide will take you to the nearby Jantar Mantar, an over 200-year-old observatory famous for the biggest stone sundial in the world.

All U.S. citizens need a valid passport and valid Indian visa to enter and exit India for any purpose (also see Special Circumstances section below). Most visitors, including those on official U.S. government business, must apply for visas at an Indian embassy or consulate abroad before entering the country. U.S. citizens seeking to enter India solely for tourist purposes, and who plan to stay no longer than 30 days, may apply for an electronic travel authorization at least four days prior to their arrival in lieu of applying for a tourist visa at an Indian embassy or consulate. Please visit the Indian government’s website for electronic travel authorization for additional information regarding the eligibilities and requirements for this type of visa. Without the electronic travel authorization, which must be obtained at least four days prior to arrival, visas are not available upon arrival for U.S. citizens. If you do not have a valid passport and visa you may be immediately deported. The U.S. Embassy and Consulates General in India cannot assist you if you arrive without proper documentation. Please carry photocopies of the bio-data page of your U.S. passport and the pages containing the Indian visa and Indian immigration stamps. If your passport is lost or stolen, copies will help you apply for a replacement passport and an exit visa from the Indian government. Replacing a lost visa, which is required in order to exit the country, may take three to four business days.
U.S. citizens wishing to visit India are responsible for requesting the correct type of visa from the Indian Embassy or Consulate. There are generally no provisions for changing your immigration category (e.g., from tourist to work visa) once you have entered the country. Indian visa regulations change frequently, often with little advance notice, and changes may be poorly advertised and inconsistently enforced. Travelers are urged to check the website of the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. before any travel to India to review the most current information. If you travel on a tourist visa, you are generally given six months of legal stay upon entering India; extensions are rarely granted. Indian visas may be obtained in the United States through Cox & Kings Global Services, the Government of India?s visa contractor. Diplomatic and Official visa applications, however, are accepted directly at the Indian Embassy and Consulates. Please review the information on the Cox & Kings website to determine your purpose for travel and the most appropriate visa category. All U.S. government employees, including military personnel, must obtain country clearance for travel to India.
U.S. citizens of Pakistani origin or descent are subject to administrative processing and should expect additional delays when applying for Indian visas.
Foreign citizens who visit India to study, do research, work, or act as missionaries, as well as all travelers and residents planning to stay more than 180 days, are required to register their visit or residency within 14 days of arrival with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) closest to where they will be staying in addition to having the appropriate visa when they enter India. The FRRO maintains offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru (Bangalore), Lucknow, Calicut, Goa, Cochin, Trivandrum, and Amritsar. District Superintendents of Police serve as Foreigners Registration Officers (FROs) in all other places. Some U.S. citizens traveling to India on tourist visas may not be allowed re-entry to India within two months of departure without specific permission from an Indian embassy or consulate abroad. We recommend all U.S. citizens review the entry requirements described on the Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section on the Indian Bureau of Immigration website. Travelers have reported that enforcement of this rule at ports of entry may be inconsistent.
If you overstay your Indian visa, or otherwise violate Indian visa regulations, you may require clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs in order to leave the country. Generally you will be fined and, in some cases, may be jailed for months until deportation can be arranged. Visa violators seeking an exit clearance are requested to schedule an online appointment at the Ministry of Home Affairs website before visiting the Visa Facilitation Center at The Ministry of Home Affairs, Foreigners Division, NDCC-II Building, Sai Singh Road, New Delhi 110001 (tel. 91-11-2343-8037). Processing of an exit visa under these circumstances can take up to 90 days and decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. Exit permits for children born in India via surrogacy face the same potential delays if the parents have violated Indian visa requirements.
For the most current information on entry and exit requirements, please contact the Embassy of India at 2536 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20008, telephone (202) 939-9806 or the Indian Consulates in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, or Houston. Outside the United States, inquiries should be made at the nearest Indian embassy or consulate.
General information regarding Indian visa and immigration rules, including the addresses and telephone numbers for the FRRO offices, can be found at the Indian Ministry of Home
