Discover the heritage of Mughal and Sikh faiths on a journey through Agra’s sacred landmarks. Visit Akbar’s Tomb, Guru Ka Taal, and Fatehpur Sikri with a guide.
Begin your journey with a morning pickup from your hotel in Agra by your friendly driver and professional local guide. Head to Sikandra, home to Emperor Akbar’s magnificent mausoleum. Stroll through the symmetrical gardens, alive with peacocks and deer, and admire the fusion of Hindu, Islamic, and Persian designs carved into red sandstone and white marble.
Your guide will share tales of Akbar’s philosophy of tolerance and his vision of “Sulh-e-Kul” (universal peace), reflected in the artistry of his tomb complex. Don’t miss the intricately decorated gateway known as the “Gateway to Heaven,” an architectural marvel unmatched in symmetry and symbolism.
Continue to Gurudwara Guru Ka Taal, a sacred site commemorating the arrival of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, the ninth Sikh Guru. Witness the calm waters of the reservoir (“taal”) that once served as a rainwater storage tank during Mughal times. Absorb the peaceful chants, the humility of the devotees, and the inclusive hospitality of the langar (community kitchen).
Feel free to cover your head and remove your shoes before entering — an act of respect in Sikh tradition. Scarves are usually available at the entrance.
After a delightful lunch, drive to Fatehpur Sikri, Emperor Akbar’s majestic yet short-lived capital. Walk through the palatial courtyards, the Buland Darwaza (Gate of Magnificence), Diwan-i-Khas, Panch Mahal, and Jodhabai’s Palace. At the Tomb of Salim Chishti, witness where Akbar once sought blessings for an heir — a spiritual moment that shaped Mughal history.
Learn why this grand city was mysteriously abandoned and how its architecture reflects Akbar’s quest for cultural unity. After exploring Fatehpur Sikri, relax on your scenic return drive to Agra, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel with lasting memories of Mughal grandeur and Sikh spirituality intertwined.
