We contacted Drivers-India by the recommendation of our friends who traveled with them before and we are very glad for our choice. We planned our tour with Liliana who was always quick in her answers and helpful. She was calling us regularly during the trip to follow up, something we appreciated a lot. Our driver Sunder was very professional and knowledgeable. We would certainly recommend him to everyone traveling in Rajasthan. The cooking class in Jaipur was amazing, we enjoyed it very much. Thanks to Drivers-India for their efficient organization, that helped us have a break during these troubled times.

Rajgir has got the name from Raj Griha meaning the abode of the king.  Rajgir is one of the most important tourist places in India. Rajgir has its own very scenic beauty surrounded by five holy hills, the picturesque little town of Rajgir is important for Buddhists as well as Jains. Here the two rock-cut caves were the favorite retreats of the Buddha and it was on this hill that he preached two of his most famous sermons.   Nalanda is located 14 kms. from Rajgir. Built on a hallowed site where the Buddha had often stayed, Nalanda is one of the world's oldest living cities. The Buddhist University of Nalanda, once the most prestigious center of learning in Asia, was built here. The evocative ruins of its monasteries and temples still convey a vivid impression of the serene and ordered life of contemplation and learning that prevailed here.

Agra is famous as being home to one of the seven wonders of the world-the Taj Mahal. The architectural splendour of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is a vivid remainder of the mausoleums, the fort and the palaces is a vivid reminder of the capital in the 16th and early 17th centuries. A pleasant town with comparatively slow pace, Agra is known for its superb inlay work on marble and soastone by craftsman who are descendant of those who worked under the Mughals. The city is also famous for its carpets, gold thread embroidery and leather shoes. Agra was once the capital of the Mughal empire and even today it seems to linger in the past . Not surprising , for the Mughal emperors with their passion for building, endowed the city with some of the finest structures in the world . It is very easy to slip away here through the centuries into the grandeur and intrigues of the Mughal court .

Inclusions: Parking Fee, Toll Tax, State Tax., Professional Guide , All Transportation with AC Sedan Car With English Speaking Driver.

Exclusions: Any Meals/Entrance Monument Fee.
