The itinerary

Day 01

Early Morning Pickup from Jaipur

The guests will be picked up from their desired place in Jaipur early in the morning and head to Keoladeo Ghana National Park. In the morning, you can take good photos of birds.

Day 02

Birdwatching at Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary

Famous for Keoladeo Ghana National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bharatpur is home to an astonishing range of flora and fauna. Arrive in Bharatpur and tour Keoladeo Ghana National Park by taking a rickshaw ride through the sanctuary. An abundance of birdlife can be found here, such as the open-bill and painted stork, egret, darter, white ibis, spoonbill, grey heron, Sarus crane, cormorant, migratory geese, duck, rosy pelican, and the rare Siberian crane.
Then continue to Fatehpur Sikri.

Day 03

Explore the Architecture of Fatehpur Sikri

The dynastic architecture of Fatehpur Sikri was modelled on Timurid forms and styles. The city was built on a massive scale, mainly with red sandstone. Its architecture reflects both Hindu and Muslim forms of domestic architecture that were popular in India at the time. The remarkable preservation of these original spaces allows modern archaeologists to reconstruct scenes of Mughal court life and to better understand the hierarchy of the city's royal and noble residents. It is accessed through gates along the 8 km-long fort wall.
After that, head to Chand Baori.

Day 04

Visit Chand Baori at Abhaneri

Chand Baori is a stepwell built over a thousand years ago in the Abhaneri village of Rajasthan. It is one of the world's largest stepwells and one of the most beautiful. Located in the eastern part of Rajasthan, it was built by King Chanda sometime in the 9th century. Chand Baori is not an easy landmark to find, which makes it one of India's hidden secrets. Stepwells, also called Baori, are unique to this nation. These wells have steps built into the sides that lead down to the water.

Day 05

Drop-off in Jaipur

After completing the day's tour, guests will be dropped off at their desired place in Jaipur.
