Chapter Three — Activities & Sightseeing
5 of your 7days — the full day-by-day plan follows below.

Day 2 · Delhi → Agra
The drive to Agra runs about 165 kilometres down the Yamuna Expressway and takes three to three and a half hours. It is flat, fast and unremarkable, which is the point — it replaced a full day on the old road. You reach Agra by early afternoon. The rest of the day is Agra Fort, in the long light, with the Taj Mahal visible downriver from its marble balconies — a first sight of it before tomorrow's sunrise.

Day 3 · Agra
The gates open at first light, and the first hour is the coolest, the quietest and the best for photographs, as the marble shifts from grey to pink to white. A private guide handles the tickets and the queue. Back to the hotel for breakfast. The rest of the morning is Agra Fort, Akbar's red sandstone citadel, including the rooms where Aurangzeb held his father prisoner within sight of the Taj. The Taj is closed on Fridays.

Day 4 · Agra → Jaipur
A morning drive out to Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar's capital of 1571, abandoned within twenty years and left almost untouched since. The Buland Darwaza is the tallest gateway in India. The road then runs on towards Jaipur. Near Abhaneri it passes Chand Baori, a stepwell that drops thirteen storeys into the ground. Its walls are a lattice of some 3,500 steps. It is one of the oldest and deepest in the country. Jaipur by evening, about five hours of driving in all.

Day 5 · Jaipur
A full day built around Amber Fort. The fort sits on a hill above Maota Lake, begun in 1592 by Raja Man Singh I. Inside, Sheesh Mahal glitters — thousands of small mirror tiles set into the walls and ceiling, still catching light after four centuries. A guide walks you through Ganesh Pol, the fort's most ornate gate, before the afternoon opens up. Back in the old city, Johari Bazaar sells jewellery the way it has for generations, and Bapu Bazaar deals in block-printed textiles. Both are better explored slowly, with someone who knows which shops to trust.

Day 6 · Jaipur → Ranthambore
A morning drive south from Jaipur to Ranthambore, about 180 kilometres and four hours through the town of Tonk. The country turns dry and open along the way. Ranthambore was once the private hunting ground of Jaipur's rulers. It became a Project Tiger reserve in 1974 and a national park in 1980. You check in by early afternoon. An optional evening game drive can be added on the arrival day, or the evening kept free to settle in.
Chapter Four — Day by Day
Every day, start to finish — including the transfers the sightseeing chapter above skipped.

Delhi
A private airport pickup in Delhi, then a first afternoon among the city's Mughal landmarks. Humayun's Tomb, finished in 1570, was the first great garden tomb built in India. Its design was later echoed in the Taj Mahal. Qutub Minar rises more than 70 metres and dates from the 12th century. It is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Old Delhi adds the Red Fort and the broad steps of the Jama Masjid. The evening is free before the drive to Rajasthan.

Delhi → Agra
The drive to Agra runs about 165 kilometres down the Yamuna Expressway and takes three to three and a half hours. It is flat, fast and unremarkable, which is the point — it replaced a full day on the old road. You reach Agra by early afternoon.

Ranthambore
Two game drives today, one soon after dawn and one in the late afternoon. Those are the hours when tigers move. The park is divided into ten zones, and zones one to five hold the core forest and most sightings. Between drives, there is time for Ranthambore Fort. It was begun in the 10th century and stands on a high crag inside the park. Its gateways and domed chhatris look down over Padam Talao, the largest of the park lakes. The Trinetra Ganesh temple inside the walls still draws pilgrims every Wednesday.
