DESTINATION INFORMATION

DELHI

From the arches and domes of historical monuments to modern commercial centres, New Delhi has evolved into a city-of-the-future while still preserving its unique flavour and style. Breaking away from the shackles of being just a bureaucratic base, the city is in the process of a steady makeover, inching its way to becoming a business hotspot.

Don't Miss
There is so much to do in Delhi that will delight everyone. From shopping at the trendiest boutiques, to finding bargains in Sarojini Nagar, and getting lost in the world of knick-knacks, jewellery, fabrics, sarees, furnishings, and books in Old Delhi. Wander the alleys of Chandni Chowk. Gaze spellbound at the Qutab Minar. Roam the cavernous interiors of the Red Fort (Lal Quilla). Take the spanking new Delhi Metro across town. Explore the circles of Connaught Place, or run circles in Nehru Park. Meditate at Lodhi Gardens. Or, gawk at the Parliament building and India Gate. In other words, do the things that each new person suggests you should do in the capital of the nation, and you will never have a dull moment.

AGRA

There are not many places in the world that command the kind of respect and popularity as Agra does. The Taj Mahal may have added a different perspective to the place but it was always a destination favoured by the kings and nobles of the Mughal era. Akbar, the most renowned and respected of all the Mughal emperors ruled the India of yore from the ramparts of the Red Fort of Agra. In fact, Agra served as the base for most of the Mughal rulers.

Don't Miss
Agra is famous for the Taj Mahotsav. During this time, visitors to the city will be graced by cultural performances and get an insight into the arts and crafts of the region. Traditional music, poetic recitals, classical dances and rides on bedecked camels and elephants are other highlights.

JAIPUR

A bustling capital city and a business centre with all the trappings of a modern metropolis and yet flavoured strongly with an age-old charm that never fails to surprise a traveller. The old Jaipur painted in pink can grip any visitor with admiration. A city set against the stunning backdrop of ancient forts and palaces that are apt testimonials of the bygone era and a reminder of their lingering romance and chivalry.

Strong on eco-tourism, Rajasthan Tourism has created parks around Jaipur where short treks can be combined with a study of the local flora as well as wildlife. Head for Nahargarh Biological Park or Jhalana Nature Park, both in the Aravalli folds close to Amber Fort.
