Overview

This tour is ideal for those of you who plan to spend more than just a day in Agra. If you like architecture, history, un-crowded off-the-beaten track places with plenty of nature, then you will enjoy this tour immensely.

During this tour we will be visiting three Hindus temples (6th to 12th century) within 2 hours driving distance from Agra. 'The Bateshwara Temple Circuit', comprising of Bateshwara Temples (ruins like Angkor Wat in Cambodia), Garhi Padhavali and Mitawali (inspired the Parliament House in Delhi). Please dress up conservatively and be patient - sometimes roads are bad and tourist facilities are not like they are in major attractions.

You will need to organize transportation for this tour which is not included in the tour price. Also minimum number of bookings for the tour is 2, if you are just one traveler book for 2 people.

This tour can be combined with my other tour - Chambal River Safari

An absolutely fabulous experience and so glad that we were able to experience this with Kunal. He is kind, patient and knowledgeable. I have the highest recommendation for this experience.

The temple complex is mesmerizing. Since we had no idea of the place, the temples took us by total surprise. The area is adequately maintained by ASI, complete with facilities. One can see the temples in various stages of deconstruction and reconstruction. One could spend a whole day studying and documenting the temples. An excellent site for Architecture students.

Having visited Agra before (the traditional but still impressive visit to the Taj and the Fort), we wanted to go off the beaten track. Kunal took my daughter and me on this wonderful trip, after doing a trip the day before to villages with old havelis and a karavan sarai. Both days fully met our expectations. The Bateshwar temple complex is very impressive. Many temples have been or are under restoration, many more still to be restored, like puzzles that have to be put together. Kunal showed us interesting details, telling the stories behind them. He knows the people at the sites, connecting with them and engaging them to tell their stories. You can wander around freely, feeling the history in every stone. As Kunal knows the right timing, the place is not crowded. The four locations visited are all close to each other.

Several colleagues from work and I took this trip while staying in Agra. It was a wonderful day excursion that gave the feeling we were discovering a hidden ancient treasure for the first time. From the extensive scale of the ruins to the tiny carvings that told stories of gods, Kunal gave interesting historical and cultural context to enrich the experience. Highly recommend this trip!

It was a great experience. Explored our ancient cultural heritage and Kunal was too good in explaining the facts and history. I highly recommend this tour.
