Built by Emperor Akbar on the west bank of the river Yamuna, the Agra Fort dominates the centre of the city. The crescent-shaped fort has a 20-metre high and 2.4-km long outer wall that contains a maze of buildings that form a small city within a city. The Diwan-i-Aam (hall of public audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (hall of private audience), the octagonal tower known as Musamman Burj, Khas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (the mirror palace) and the Anguri Bagh (the Grape Garden) are the other places to see within the fort. From the sight of it the magnificent structure in Red Sand Stone looks strong and invincible. The common belief goes that it was built by the Mughal emperor Akbar and further developed by his heirs. But in reality the fort was actually a small fortress which a Hindu war lord had built long back around the 5th century viewing the strategic importance of Agra on the banks of River Yamuna.

En-route visit Fatehpur Sikri (Visit – 120 minutes) Old deserted town of Mughal Dynasty –Fatehpur Sikri built in red sandstone in honor of Saint Salim Chisti who foretold the birth of 3 sons to Emperor Akbar, is an example of robust stability combined with originality. This magnificent fortified ancient city, was the short-lived capital of the Mughal empire between 1572 and 1585, during the reign of Emperor Akbar. Earlier, Akbar had visited the village of Sikri to consult the Sufi saint Shaikh Salim Chishti, who predicted the birth of an heir to the Mughal throne. When the prophecy came true, Akbar built his new capital here, including a stunning mosque, still in use today, and three palaces, one for each of his favourite wives – one a Hindu, one a Muslim and one a Christian (though Hindu villagers in Sikri dispute these claims).

31yo from Australia the 10 day Golden Triangle tour with Nepal has the perfect amount packed into the short duration. If you’re looking for a taste of the history and culture as well as spiritually engaging your mind this is the tour for you. The India portion is perfect for the major tourist attractions and the guides in each location are great and knowledgeable and our driver Roshan went above and beyond to safely and happily move us from destination to destination with a smile. In Jaipur the optional activities are a must such as the Leopard Safari and Elephant Tour. Not to mention the amazing Ayurveda massage as well the Kalakriti show in Agra. The Nepal portion is sensational and really topped off such a great trip. Our tour guide Dhiren was so knowledgeable and you could really tell he loves his country and appreciated teaching us his culture. Finally the optional Everest Mountain Flight is essential when coming to Nepal and was great and inexpensive.
We had a great time while we were on this tour. The guides were very knowledgeable. They also tailored the tour to what we liked to do which is shopping. Our driver in India was great, Rakesh. He kept an eye out for us and kept us safe on crazy roadways. Everyone was so kind and I'm glad we got to experience these wonderful countries. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is that they stays in India could have been a little nicer.
Amazing trip and lovely service from the guides and driver and all those who helped me arrange the trip
My recommendation for the Golden Triangle tour with Nepal. If you want to see the most in the shortest amount of time, this is the tour for you. The hotels are good, the guides and drivers experienced and always ready to help. Everything was in best order, from the beginning, all the way to the return back home. Mister Prakash contacted us frequently to check if everything was in order. Although the whole crew was excellent, we have to give special praise to our drivers in Nepal (sadly I forgot the gentlemans name), as well as India - mister Malik. We also want to give special praise to our guide, mister Ravi.
