pre-booked hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
Delhi: India's capital & a major gateway to the
country, contemporary Delhi is a bustling metropolis which
successfully combines in its fold the ancient & the modern. Its
strategic location was one of the prime reasons why successive
dynasties chose it as their seat of power. New Delhi also reflects
the legacy the British left behind. The division between New &
Old Delhi is the distinction between the capitals of the British
& the Moghuls respectively. So, wherever the visitor goes, he
will invariably confront the city's past.

Jama Masjid, Red Fort and Rajghat. Then in the afternoon, leave
Delhi for Jaipur. Upon arrival in Jaipur, check in at the hotel for

Jaipur: The city owes its names, foundation and its
careful planning to the great warrior - astronomer Maharaja Jai
Singh II. In 1727, with Mughal power on the wane, Jai Singh decided
to move down from his hillside fortress at nearby Amber to a new
site on the plains. He laid out the city, with its surrounding walls
and six rectangular blocks, according to the principles of town
planning set down in Shilpa Shastra, an ancient Hindu treatise on
architecture

Akbar's army and is a superb example of Rajput architecture.

Maharaja Jai Singh in 1728 and the fa?ade of Hawa Mahal.
