Description:

Uncover the cultural, gastronomic, and religious charms of Agra. Discover the city’s hidden alleyways and lively spice markets, hop on a cycle rickshaw, and admire colorful Hindu temples and traditional mosques. Then indulge in a variety of savory Indian snacks and sweet treats to keep your energy up.

Get to know Agra the local way. Explore beyond the tourist sites as you trace through history, from the Mughal era to the British rule.

First, listen to your local guide as he discusses India’s military history. Visit the magnificent Agra Fort, and learn about the early foundations of India while gaining a better understanding of the caste systems. Then visit Ambedkar Park—dedicated to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, father of the Indian Constitution.

Next, visit one of Agra’s most famous temples, Radha Krishna Mandir, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Hear the romantic love story of Lord Krishna and Radha as you admire the intricately sculptured temple. A sweet treat follows, with a sample of local delicacies at a 200-year-old sweets shop. Continue along the narrow, colorful lanes full of miniature idols of gods and goddesses for Hindu home temples.

Finally, jump aboard a cycle rickshaw for an aromatic ride through the Rawatpara Spice Market. And as you approach the end of your tour, get a glimpse of the spectacular Taj Mahal from the comfort of your seat.
