Destinations At Glance:

DELHI

Delhi in every shape and form, is the true depiction of India.

Sometimes noisy, sometimes serene, like India, this city too changes shades every few kilometers. Although, often people describe Delhi as India’s urban kingdom, it is as historic , if not less, as its counterparts on the trip. And, this uncertainty makes Delhi unique.

Here amid the sky scraping buildings, in sheer randomness, you will find heritage sites standing sturdily upholding the city’s past. Where you would never even expect, you will taste the best street food and in places you’ll never want to shop, you’ll find some drop-dead gorgeous stuff.

Jaipur is a wonderland that can plaster a permanent smile on your face. This city lives up to the glory of its state and is undoubtedly the land of Kings.

It is the oasis of the desert to say the least. The city has the majestic Amer Fort looking over it. Furthermore, it has the most extraordinary structures including the Palace of Winds and the not so famous Jal Mahal .

However, besides all its glitter and shines, the best way to explore this city is to lose yourself in its pink hued streets. To explore temples, food joints and the famous bazaars that keeps this town busy all year long.

AGRA

Agra in Uttar Pradesh is the former Mughal capital that receives global attention till date because of its state-of-the-art structures and of course Taj Mahal.

Revered as the epitome of Love, the mere existence of Taj Mahal makes Agra a must visit destination in India.

However, even without the magnificent Taj Mahal, the tongue appeasing street food and medieval aura helps Agra to still bag the title of the sultan of experiences.

But what people don’t know is that the city is festooned with chaos and a rather unsettling version of stories. It makes the trip to Agra more like a walk into the twisted tale of power that this capital once experienced.

What is unique however is that you can walk through these sands of time while still having to enjoy the grandeur of nature. That's because spending time caring for rescued animals is another perk of visiting this city.
