Description

Discover the lost Mughal capital of Fatehpur Sikri with a guided tour, then savor authentic local flavors on a food tasting experience. A perfect mix of history and culinary delight.
Begin your journey with a warm welcome from our representative, who will pick you up from your hotel, the Agra railway station, or any preferred location in Agra. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy the scenic drive as you head towards Fatehpur Sikri, an extraordinary 16th-century city built by Emperor Akbar.

Arrive at the majestic red sandstone complex, where your professional local guide will take you through the fascinating history of this once-thriving Mughal capital. Explore the towering Buland Darwaza, the grand entrance that sets the tone for what lies ahead. Walk through beautifully preserved courtyards and palaces that whisper stories of royal gatherings and courtly intrigue.

Experience the charm of architectural marvels like Diwan-i-Khas, where Akbar once held private meetings, and the Panch Mahal, a five-story palace designed for leisure and cool breezes. Visit the serene Jama Masjid and the revered tomb of Salim Chishti, learning how faith and power blended into the city’s fabric.

After your historical exploration, immerse yourself in Agra’s local food culture. Head to a traditional eatery or handpicked local food spot and taste regional favorites like spicy Bedai-Kachori, tangy chutneys, and sweet, crispy Jalebi. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience of the city’s soul through its flavors.

As the tour comes to a close, relax in the vehicle on your return to Agra. Your representative will ensure a smooth drop-off at your hotel or chosen location, leaving you with rich memories of Mughal history and Agra’s authentic cuisine.
