Ajmer is the gateway to visit Pushkar, about 15km away, a famous, ancient Hindu pilgrimage city. It is home to more than 400 temples and we’re not going to miss the many ghats that can be seen here. We start from the center of the temples, the sacred Pushkar Lake, that’s believed to have medicinal properties for those who bath in one of the 52 bathing ghats. We’ll also be visiting the number of temples out of the hundreds that dot the surrounding of the lake. Rangji Temple is a temple dedicated to Lord Vaikuntha Venkatesh or Lord Rangji, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. One of the most visually satisfying temples is the Man Mahal which features impressive Rajasthani architecture which also have gorgeous views of another nearby sacred lake. This palace cum hotel was built by Raja Man Singh I of Amber meant to serve as a temporary stay for his guests and himself when visiting Pushkar. Finally, we’re not going to miss the main attraction of Pushkar, the Temple of Lord Brahma, also known as Jagatpita Brahman Mandir, one of the rare, ancient temples dedicated to the Hindu Creator God. Then visit one last gorgeous pilgrimage site, Savitri Temple, which is dedicated to the Goddess Savitri.

We’ll go on a sightseeing around Agra starting from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Taj Mahal that was built by Shah Jahan. It was built as a memorial for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal and it took him 22 years to complete the majestic mausoleum, designed by Persian architect Ustad Isa. Taj is highly regarded for the beautiful architecture, intricate carvings, immaculate inlay work.

Next up is the Agra Fort which is notable for the red sandstone look. The fort is where Emperor Shah Jahan spent his last few years viewing Taj Mahal from afar as he was under house arrest by his third son, Aurangzeb. Agar Fort has its own magnificent palaces, gardens, and big halls. We’ll get to see the inside of Diwan-I-Am (public audience hall) and the Diwan-I-Khas (private audience hall) that were added by Shah Jahan later on.

After the fort, we’re going to check out Baby Taj, Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah, another Mughal mausoleum. It was built by Empress Nur Jahan for her father, highly praised for the marble trelliswork, in fact, the first one in Indian to be made entirely of marble.

After the tomb, we’ll visit Fatehpur Sikri, known as the dream city of Akbar the Great. It was founded as the capital of Mughal Empire in 1571 and is now known as an abandoned city. The UNESCO World Heritage Site brags gorgeous, preserved buildings and structures bathed in the color of the red sandstone used to construct them. We’re going to explore the complex and visit the palace of Jodha Bai Mahal that’s the largest residential palace in his harem for his favorite queen consort.
