Delhi
The Heart of IndiaQutub Minar, the Lotus Temple and India Gate — a capital layered with a thousand years of empires.
Agra
City of a Wonder of the WorldThe Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri — Mughal architecture at its height.
Jaipur
The Colourful City of RajasthanAmber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Jal Mahal in the rose-pink capital of the desert state.
Three days is the shortest sensible way to see all three cities. It works because the distances are kind — Delhi to Agra on the expressway, Agra to Jaipur in about four hours with Fatehpur Sikri on the way, and Jaipur back to Delhi in an afternoon.
