The holiest temple and the most significant Sikh pilgrimage site is Sri Harmandir Sahib, also called Darbar Sahib.Everyone can worship at the Harmandir Sahib, regardless of gender, caste, religion, or background. It features a promenade around the pool and a square layout with four entrances that represent "acceptance of all religions and cultures." The main hub of Sikhism's religious authority, Akal Takht, is one of several structures in the temple complex that encircle the sanctum and pool. Among the other structures are a museum, a "langar," the Gurdwara Committee's headquarters, and a clock tower. The Sikh community operates Langar, a free kitchen that serves food to all guests without regard to caste, gender, or religion.

You will go to Jallianwala Bagh, where hundreds of innocent Indians were slaughtered by General Dyer. Next up is the Wagah Border to observe the retreat ceremony, which has been a daily military ritual observed by both the Indian and Pakistani security forces since 1959. The two flags are lowered and folded, and the soldiers from both sides shake hands before the border gates are once more closed as the sun sets.

Le Corbusier created the High Court, and because of its outstanding architecture, architecture students travel from all around to study its features and design. More than 50,000 rosebushes of 1600 different types can be found at the Zakir Hussain Rose Garden. There are around 75 types of medicinal trees and 55 species of medicinal shrubs in the Botanical Garden.After covering these locations, head back to the hotel to spend the night there.

You have the entire day to yourself, which you can spend by walking around the neighborhood. Spend the night at Rishikesh, the sacred city of North India.

You will be taken to Haridwar, one of the holiest places for Hindu pilgrims, which translates as "Gateway to God." According to folklore, Haridwar, Ujjain, Nasik, and Allahabad were all covered in droplets of Amrit (nectar) during Samudramanthan. Every three years, the Kumbha Mela is held at these four locations. It is thought that Haridwar is where followers bathe in the Ganges to atone for their sins and achieve Moksha.

After eating breakfast, take a road transfer to Delhi. You will be brought to your hotel to check in when you arrive. Delhi has been the capital of numerous kingdoms and has been inhabited since the sixth century BC. Delhi is home to many stunning structures and is sometimes referred to as the "city of cities." The region's various rulers have occasionally had an impact on its culture. Additionally, the residents' eating patterns reflect this. Since the time of the Mughal emperors, this is where Mughal cuisine first emerged.

Following breakfast, you will embark on a morning trip that begins in Old Delhi. Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor, constructed this area of the city in 1639 AD. The first location is Raj Ghat, which is the location of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation, and the museum was erected in his honor. The tour of Chandni Chowk and the famous Red Fort will come next. Up until 1856, the Red Fort served as the primary palace of the Mughal emperors for almost 200 years. One of Old Delhi's busiest and most well-known markets is Chandni Chowk. To see the vibrant people and stores, you may ride a rickshaw around the neighborhood.The next destination is the Jama Masjid, one of Shah Jahan's most famous, ancient, and sizable mosques in India. It was constructed by Shah Jahan, the Mughal Emperor, between 1644 and 1656. The mosque features two 40-meter-tall minarets made of white marble and red sandstone strips, four towers, and three enormous gates.

At 1200 hours, you will check out of your accommodation and proceed to Qutub Minar, India's largest minaret. Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was constructed in 1192 by the Turk emperor Qutub-Ud-Din Aibak.

The Lakshinarayan Temple, which is devoted to Lord Narayana and Goddess Lakshmi, is your final destination of the day after passing the Parliament House, the President's House, and other government secretarial buildings.

You will be taken to the Delhi train station late at night so that you may catch your overnight train to Lucknow.

The capital and largest city of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, is aptly known as "The City of Nawabs" and "The Golden City of India" due to its refinement and royal manners. A stunning display of Imambaras, mosques, Islamic shrines, and gardens, it is also known as the Constantinople of the East. In addition to being the seat of power for the Nawabs in the 18th and 19th centuries, Lucknow has always been a heterogeneous city that thrived as a center of North Indian culture and the arts. In terms of government, administration, education, business, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, tourism, music, and poetry, Lucknow remains a significant hub.

Lucknow participated actively in the Indian Independence Movement and was a significant hub of the 1857 Indian Rebellion. The city's food, which includes bread, various kebabs, and biryanis, is well-known. Here in Lucknow, the ethnic groups of Kathak, Khayal, Nawabs, and classical music first emerged and gained popularity.

A visit to the Great Imambara, Jama Masjid, Picture Gallery, Clock Tower, Roomi Darwaza, Residency, and Dilkusha Palace is planned for this morning.

Asaf-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Lucknow at the time, constructed the enormous structure known as the Great Imambara in 1784. It was first constructed during the devastating famine to help the hapless people of Uttar Pradesh by providing food, shelter, and aid. The monument is special because it is the biggest hall in Asia without any external beams of stone, iron, or wood for support. The architecture of Bara Imambara, Chhota Imambara, and other monuments combines elements of Turkish and Mughlai design. Nawab Asaf-ud-daula constructed the 60-foot (18-meter)-tall Rumi Darwaza in 1784 as the city's gateway. The building in the west is adorned with opulent ornamentation and opens to the Great Imambara. The remnants of a palace built by British resident Major Gore Ouseley in 1800, Dilkusha Kothi, is a prime example of English Baroque architecture. It served as both a summer resort and a hunting lodge for the Nawab of Awadhs.

The afternoon is free for a walk or shopping in Hazratganj, the city's main retail district, which features a blend of modern and historic buildings. For embroidered projects like chikankari, zari, zardozi, kamdani, and gota making, shopping in Lucknow is essential. You spend the night in Lucknow, the city of royalty.

On this day, the morning is free. You will be taken to the train station to catch your Lucknow to Varanasi train in the second part. You will be brought to the hotel to check in when you arrive in Varanasi.

With a 5000-year history, Varanasi is among the oldest cities in the world. Hindus believe that dying and being cremated in Varanasi results in salvation, and the city is well-known for its spiritual and cultural heritage. Varanasi, also referred to as the cultural center of North India, has its unique allure in its temples, riverbanks, narrow streets, cuisine, culture, and overall old-world appeal.

Overnight is in Varanasi, one of the world's oldest surviving cities.

Thousands of devotees gather on the banks of Manikarnika and Harishchandra, the two sacred banks of the Ganges, for holy dips and cremations. Begin your morning with a boat ride along these banks. Hindus hold that a person's soul achieves Moksha (enlightenment and freedom from reincarnation) if they die in Varanasi or if their ashes are submerged in the Ganges River. The sight of funeral pyres burning next to these ghats would leave you speechless.

The remainder of the day is free to explore Varanasi or travel to Sarnath, which is a few kilometers away. Buddha delivered his first sermon at Sarnath. Enjoy the captivating evening prayers near the Ganges banks in the evening; they are well worth seeing.

Spend the night in Varanasi, the sacred city.

You will have the whole morning to shop, visit other surrounding locations, or sample the local cuisine, particularly the sweets. Rome is not as old as Varanasi. By the time Buddha arrived in Sarnath to deliver his first sermon, it was already a thriving commercial hub. During the sixth century B.C., Sarnath was a famous educational institution. And the 12th century AD. The stupa, the Buddhist temple, the remains, and the museum are all well worth a visit.

To catch your train to Agra, the city of love, get transferred to Mughalsarai rail station on time. Spend the night on the train.

Arrive at the train station in the morning and be taken to your Agra hotel. Formerly the capital of Hindustan, Agra is situated on the banks of the Yamuna River. Agra is a popular tourist destination in India and is included in the Golden Triangle tourism circuit, which also includes Delhi and Jaipur. When the Mughals were at their height, Agra was known as Akbarabad. Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan were the Mughal emperors' capitals.

One of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal, is the first stop on your city tour. Shah Jahan constructed this magnificent work of white marble sculpture between 1631 and 1648 as a tribute to his adored wife, Queen Mumtaz Mahal. It is a symbol of passion and love and stands majestically on the banks of the Yamuna River. You can avoid the crowds and the heat of the day by going early in the morning.

You will then be taken to Agra Fort, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is renowned for its architectural design that offers a window into the aristocratic Mughal way of life. Agra Fort was constructed in the 16th century under the Mughal Empire and contains a number of palaces straight out of fairy tales, including Jahangir Palace and KhasMahal. You will be shown Diwan-e-Khas (Diwan-e-Khas) and Diwan-e-Aam (public audience hall).

You have the car and driver at your disposal for the remainder of the day. You might visit some of the local points of interest or go shopping for metal, wood, and marble crafts. Spend the night in Agra, the Taj Mahal, the Mughal capital.

Continue on your travel to Jaipur after breakfast. Stop for about an hour along the route to tour Fatehpur Sikri. Emperor Akbar established the city as the capital of the Mughal Empire in 1571. It held this position until 1585 when he abandoned it because of a campaign in Punjab. In 1610, the city was abandoned entirely.

A popular UNESCO World Heritage Site in India, Fatehpur Sikri is home to a number of noteworthy structures. Timurid shapes and styles served as the model for Fatehpur Sikri's dynasty architecture. The city was lavishly constructed using red sandstone. Both the Hindu and Muslim styles of architectural magnificence that were fashionable at the time are reflected in the city's architecture.

You will first be shown the city's Jama Masjid, then the Tomb of Salim Chishti, the five-story palace, Panch Mahal, and Buland Darwaza, a magnificent example of architecture and a lovely landmark. You will tour the other elegant structures in this area, including Birbal's home, Ibadat Khana, Mariam-uz-Zamani's Palace, and Naubat Khana.

Proceed to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, after touring the city of Fatehpur Sikri. Because of the predominant color scheme of its buildings, Jaipur is sometimes referred to as the Pink City. In the 18th century, as a gesture of goodwill, the city was painted pink to greet the Prince of Wales. Jaipur's history dates back 260 years. King Jai Singh constructed it, and it was he who gave Jaipur its name. Along with Delhi and Agra (240 km, 149 mi), Jaipur is a well-liked tourist destination in India and is included in the West Golden Triangle tourist circuit. The Jantar Mantar and the Amer Fort are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in Jaipur.

Use the available transportation to spend the day at your leisure inside the city limits. Spend the night in Jaipur, the city of palaces.

Visit the hilltop Amer Fort, Jaipur's former capital, first thing in the morning. The Fort is renowned for its aspects of the artistic Hindu style. Maota Lake, the primary water supply for the imposing Amer Palace with its extensive ramparts, gates, and cobblestone walkways, is visible from the fort.

The Fort is divided into four floors, each with a courtyard, and is made entirely of marble and red sandstone. Surajpol, the major entrance gate, has an intriguing architectural design. The shrine of Goddess Sila Devi is located next to the Ganesh Gate. Worth feasting your eyes on are the Diwan-e-Aam (public audience hall), Diwan-e-Khas (private audience hall), Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace), and Sukh Niwas. Winds blowing over a waterfall of water at the Sukh Niwas provide a nice climate. While climbing the hill, there is an option to ride an elephant or take a Jeep trip.

Visit the Maharaja City Palace, a seven-story regal structure, after descending to the city.

Among the many other structures in the compound are the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces. Although a sizable portion of the Chandra Mahal palace is still in use as a royal house, the entire building is now a museum. The palace complex encompasses a remarkable and extensive collection of buildings, gardens, and courtyards. All three architectural styles—Mughal, Rajput, and European—are expertly combined in the City Palace.

See the UNESCO-designated Jantar Mantar, Jaisingh II's astronomical observatory. The device is designed to measure the declination of the Sun and other celestial bodies, as well as the time of day, accurately within a half-second.

The next location is HawaMahal, also known as the Palace of the Wind. It is a red and pink sandstone palace that is situated directly on the edge of Jaipur's City Palace and stretches to the zenana, or women's quarters. Shopping for clothing, carpets, jewelry, precious and semi-precious stones, and other handicrafts made of metal, wood, and other materials, as well as silk paintings and miniatures, is an essential part of every trip to Jaipur. You have access to transportation within the city's borders. Spend the night in Jaipur, India's pink city.

You will be driven to the Delhi International Airport on this day so that you may catch your journey back. This concludes your spiritual and religious journey through North India. There isn't any lodging planned for today.
