Pass By: Agra Fort Rakabgani, Agra 282003 India

You will be met and picked up from your hotel.  Your guide will escort you to Agra Fort-Army Gate, the starting point of your cultural walking tour. The powerful fortress of Agra is built of red sandstone. It was the imperial home of the Mughal rulers and now is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Pass By: Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

Our tour will then take you  past a Paan leaves (Beetel leaves) store and the Kinari Bazaar.  The Kinari bazaar is the best place to find items for wedding ceremonies, including bridal jewelry and wonderfully crafted gold and silver garlands. Just after the hustle and bustle of the Kinari Bazaar, you reach a small lane known as Vaidya Ramdutta Gali. This lane is named for the first Ayurvedic doctor who treated people with herbal medicines. Today his descendants are still practicing healing in the same traditions.

Pass By: Mehtab Bagh, Nagla Devjit Etmadpur, Agra India

Afterwards, you will take an aromatic walk through the Rawatpara Spice Market, a marketplace constantly bustling with activity. You will then take a ride in a cycle rickshaw and go to the banks of the Yamuna River.  From there, you will be taken to the Mehtab Bagh for a splendid view of the Taj Mahal.  Wrap up your tour with some tea or juice, after which you will be escorted back to the hotel.
