Fatehpur Sekri & Chand Baori Private Tour

An abandoned city and one of the most impressive cisterns in India are the two attractions that await you on this day trip to Fatehpur Sikri and Chand Baori from Agra. Ready to be amazed?

Description

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Agra and then set off to the enigmatic Fatehpur Sikri, driving for about an hour.

Welcome to the best-preserved ghost town in the world! We will start touring this UNESCO World Heritage Site and admire its buildings, which combine Indian and Arabian architecture.

Fatehpur Sikri was inhabited for less than 20 years due to water scarcity. Built by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century, it fell into oblivion, but its monumental legacy remains.

During the visit, we'll see the impressive Buland Darwaza Gate, the mosque, the tomb of the saint Salim Chishti, and many important landmarks.

After exploring Fatehpur Sikri, we'll travel for two hours to Abhaneri to visit the famous Chand Baori cistern, a notable site in Rajasthan.

Explore its origins from the 9th century and learn why this area was chosen for the deepest stepwell in the country.

Finally, we'll return you to your hotel in Agra after 8 hours, or you can end the tour in Jaipur with a drop-off in the city center.
