Tips

To extend the trip, add a full day in Agra to visit the tranquil Mehtab Bagh at sunset and a day in Jaipur for a desert safari in Pushkar. If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the evening visit to Jantar Mantar and combine Delhi’s Red Fort and Jama Masjid into a single half‑day visit, allowing you to return earlier from Agra.
