After breakfast, enjoy the local sights at Varanasi - the holiest and oldest of the Hindu cities, it is one of the longest inhabited places in the world and is a contemporary not only of Babylon but also of Thebes and Nineveh.The city gets its inherent charm from its location on the west side of the Holy Ganges, where bathing ghats are always bustling with life at any given time of the day. Written records of the Skanda Purana and the Mahabharata mention Varanasi's existence as long as 3000 years ago. It is probably the oldest inhabited city in India and one of the world's most ancient. As a place of devotion and worship, Varanasi attracts thousands of pilgrims every year and many Hindus in the latter part of their lives wish to spend their retirement here.

Khajuraho, the great temple complex discovered in 1838 that was built between 950 and 1050 A.D. by the Chandela dynasty, who claim descent from the Moon God and a mortal, Hemavati, with whom the god fell in love. Most of the temples of the north were destroyed by invaders, but Khajuraho escaped and stands today as an island of beauty. The remote location of Khajuraho meant that the temples were relatively unharmed by Muslim invaders and as a result, the fine carvings are in very good condition. Of the 85 original temples, only 22 remain, but many are in very good condition and remarkably beautiful in design and architecture, including the Kandariya Mahadeva, the Chatrabhuj, Parswanath and Ghantai Temples which you will visit during your tour. There are three main groups: those of the west have the best carvings. Each temple has literally hundreds of figures in each freeze. Overnight at the hotel.

Drive to Orchha. Straddling the Betwa River, Orchha is perhaps one of the most picturesque places in Bundelkhand and still remains relatively unspoiled. Founded in 1531, it remained the capital of a powerful Rajput kingdom until 1783. Its golden age was during the first half of the 17th century, when visited by the famous Moghul Emperor, Jehangir. Such temples as the Chaturbhuj and Laksmi Narayan, along with the Jehangir Mahal Palace are still in fairly good condition and one can get fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. Around the village below the hill are several other interesting monuments. The Ram Raja Mandir stands at the end of the small bazaar, in a marble-tiled courtyard. This pink and temple is a popular pilgrimage site. During major Rama festivals, thousands of worshippers gather in front of its ornate silver doors to await darshan of the garlanded deity inside. With its huge pointed shikharas soaring high above the village Chaturbhuj Mandir, in a cruciform shape, representing the four-armed Vishnu, with seven stories and spacious courtyards ringed by arched balconies, it epitomizes the Bundelkhand style. On the other side of Ram Mandir, a path leads through the Mughal-style Phool Bagh ornamental garden to Hardaul ka Baithak, a grand pavilion where Bir Singh Deo's second son, Hardaul, once held court.

Built in the mid 17th Century by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as an expression of his love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal is truly one of the wonders of the world. Though the Taj appears to be amazingly perfect from almost any angle, it is the close-up marble inlay work which is really astounding.

This capital of the state of Rajasthan is a land of beauty, color, and paradox. Here you find invincible forts and magnificent palaces and gardens, waves of sand dunes and serene lakes. Except for the busy traffic of bicycles, cars, and buses, little seems to have changed. Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and is a marvelous synthesis of architectural influences that range from Hindu and Jain to Mughal.

Walk to the adjacent Jantar Mantar (Astronomical Observatory), a collection of architectural astronomical instruments, built by Maharaja Jai Singh II at his then new capital of Jaipur between 1727 and 1733. The observatory instruments are in most cases huge structures, built on such scale so that accuracy of readings can be obtained. The samrat yantra, for instance, which is a sundial, can be used to tell the time to an accuracy of about a minute. Overnight at the hotel.
