The main entrance of the mosque is the impressive 54-metre high Buland Darwaza, the Gate of Victory, constructed to commemorate Akbar's military victory in Gujarat.Hop on to your cycle rickshaw for a tour of the city - a truly fun and Intrepid way to see the monuments of Agra. Note that during summer and winter months on days when the weather is particularly hot or subject to dense fog, the cycle rickshaw tour will be replaced with battery powered rickshaws. Visit the Taj Mahal - a masterpiece of shimmering white marble set amid beautiful formal gardens. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz, this 'teardrop on the face of eternity' (as it was described by writer Rabindranath Tagore) lives up to all expectations.See Akbar's Mausoleum - a beautiful sandstone and marble tomb built for the greatest of the Mughal emperors. If there is time and you wish to visit the Taj Mahal again for sunset, your driver will transport you to and from the monument but you need to pay your own entrance fee.Included ActivitiesAgra - Cycle rickshaw tourAgra - Taj MahalFatehpur SikriOptional ActivitiesAgra - Akbar's Mausoleum, Agra - INR110.00Agra - Additional entries to Taj Mahal, Agra - INR750.00AccommodationHotel (1 nt)

Take a train to India's capital city, Delhi (approx 4 hrs).There are no activities planned for the final day and you are able to depart the accommodation at any time.
