For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Fatehpur Sikri is more than a collection of magnificent Mughal monuments. On this experience, you explore the city with a storyteller who brings its people, personalities and forgotten stories to life.
Rather than simply moving from monument to monument, we look at Fatehpur Sikri as a living chapter of Mughal history—exploring the ambitions of Emperor Akbar, the people who shaped his court, the role of faith and ideas, and the everyday world behind the grand architecture.
The experience is designed at an unhurried pace, allowing time to look closely, ask questions and understand the stories behind the stones. You will explore the great monuments of Fatehpur Sikri while discovering the lesser-known histories and human stories that make the city remarkable.
This is a journey for travellers who want to go beyond seeing Fatehpur Sikri and leave with a deeper understanding of the world that created it.
Itinerary
Fatehpur Sikri
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeIn this 3-hour special walk we explore the city of Fatehpur Sikri. Commissioned by King Akbar, the city was a dedication to the Pir of Akbar Salim Chishti, who resided in the village of Sikri. The city of Fatehpur is no less than a palace full of magic and equally mysterious is the reason why it was deserted. From having the biggest doorway of the world to the multi pillared hall of religious debates, the city of Sikri has much to see and as much to hear. In this walk, we cover the city complex and also visit the sites around the complex that are equally historic.Buland Darwaza
