Itinerary
Jama Masjid
20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe tour starts at the parking lot of Agra Fort, from where guests board cycle rickshaws to old Agra bazaar where our first stop-over is the magnificent Shahi Jama Masjid. A royal mosque, Shahi Jama Masjid was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s eldest and most favourite daughter Jahanara Begum in 1648.Chimman lal Puri Wale
20 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedOur next stop is the iconic Chimmanlal Poori Wale, a 200-year-old shop. It’s run by the sixth generation of the same family and has been situated at the same place for about two centuries. The shop is famous for its mouth- watering Indian delicacies. Food tasting here is optional.Rawat Para Road
10 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe then introduce you to paan — a preparation combining betel leaf with areca nut. It is chewed for its stimulating and psychoactive effects. After chewing, it is either spat out or swallowed. Paan has many variations, and is mostly eaten post a meal as a digestive. The old Agra bazaar is famous for its Paan leaves auction since the time of the Mughals, a tradition which continues to this day. The leaves for the auction come from neighbourhood cities and also from Kolkata every day.Daresi Road
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeBridal Lehenga Workshop Indian weddings are known for their elaborate traditional outfits, with the mainstay being the bride’s outfit called a lehenga. We’ll take you to one of the workshops where they craft bridal lehengas. If desired, guests can also put on one of the lehengas and get themselves clicked in beautiful Indian attire.Shri Mankameshwar Mandir
20 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedMankameshwar Mandir is one of the most ancient temples devoted to Lord Shiva. The Shivlinga is covered by silver metal and was founded by Lord Shiva himself. The most unique aspect of the temple is that this is the only temple of Lord Shiva with his face carved on it. 21 Akhand Jyoti (eternal flame) are lit every day. Devotees after fulfilling their wishes come here to light a diya and make very generous donations. Post the temple visit, we also offer guests the option of tasting paan.Rawat Para Road(Pass by)
