Elephant Ride in Jaipur
Day 1 : Arrive Jaipur - Ajmer - Jaipur (135 km – 2.5 hours drive)
Meet & assist with our tour representative at airport/Railway station than proceed to straight way to Ajmer city tour.
Ajmer– Raja Ajay Pal Chauhan founded Ajmer in the 7th century AD. He constructed a hill fort and named it Ajaimeru or The Unconquerable Hill. The city continued to be a Chauhan stronghold till 1193 when Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated by Mohammed Ghauri. After this legendary ruler lost Ajmer to Muhammed Ghori, it became a part of the Delhi Sultanate. But such an important city – which lay on the desert trade routes and had shrines of great importance to both major religions – could not go uncontested for long. RanaKumbha of Mewar and Raja Maldeo of Marwar wrested it back for the Rajputs. The battles continued: Mughals, Marathas and Rajputs played musical thrones with Ajmer. The result is a syncretist culture symbolised in the two annual events that bring thousands to Ajmer: the Urs at the Dargah Sharif of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti .
The Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti:-To the foot of this barren hill, they come, people of all faiths. Some pray for a child, some for surcease of pain, some for cure of an illness. The tomb of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a Sufi saint, draws them all, regardless of caste or creed. There is something deeply moving about the concentration of faith and belief, something deeply spiritual about the qawwalis (devotional singing popular among Sufis) sung to God as the beloved. And it is a beautiful shrine as well.
Adhai-din-ka-jhonpra:-It took Mohammed of Ghauri only two-and-a-half days (hence the name, adhai din) to build this mosque. This was not an architectural or an engineering feat. He took the Sanskrit College that stood on the site and added a wall with seven arches to the structure. That took two-and-a-half days. The pillars of the mosque are all unique, each one carved differently. The arches are decorated with beautiful calligraphy from the Koran.
TaragarhFort:-A steep climb beyond the Adhai-din-ka-jhopra leads to the ruins of the Taragarh Fort, perched on a hill. Not much remains except for the 4 m. thick walls but the view from the fort makes the huffing and puffing worthwhile.
Evening back to Jaipur. On arrival Jaipur check in Hotel. Stay overnight at Hotel in Jaipur.

Itmad-ud-Daulah:-India’s first tomb to be made completely out of marble, Itmad-Ud-Daulah signals the beginning of new era in Mughal architecture. Until then, it was buildings of red sandstone. It was constructed during Jahangir’s period. The 21-meter high tomb was constructed in memory of MirzaGhiyas, who was the father-in-law of Jahangir. He was bestowed with the title Itmad-Ud-Daula, which means pillar of the state. Influenced by Islamic architectural style, the monument’s towers display Persian touch.
