Your Delhi Agra Jaipur tour by car package, or the golden triangle tour, might already be having all the wonders of Delhi. But neither any man nor any plan is always perfect. So before you hop into your ride for Jaipur to outstation by car, here are 3 historical forts of Delhi that “must” visit to make your Delhi experience unforgettable.

Red Fort:

Red Fort was built in the year 1648 by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shahab-Ud-Din Muhammad Khurram, as the palace for his capital “Old Delhi”; called “Shahjahanabad” in those times.

Hailed as the zenith of Mughal Architecture, the many pavilions of the fort contain architectural elements that represent a fusion of Mughal, Persian, Timurid, and Hindu traditions. UNESCO identified this 17th-century marvel as a world heritage site in 2007, with its official name Red Fort Complex.

Purana Qila (Old Fort):

Renovated and renamed to “Shergarh” in 1533 by emperor Sher Shah Suri of Suri dynasty, the Archeological survey of India concluded the fort to be the capital of Pandava kingdom Indraprastha. Edward Lutyens, the chief architect of New Delhi, aligned the Rajpath with Purana Qila.

Old Fort has three arched gateways, which are still in use. First is “Bara Darwaza”, or Big Gate, which faces west. The second gate is called Humayun gate, or more popularly known as South gate by the locals. Finally, the third one, Forbidden Gate, popularly known as 'Talaqi Gate'.

The fort has been witness to many great events of historical significance. Like the coronation of the great Hindu king Hem Chandra Vikramaditya; or Hemu. The event took place at the premise of Purana Qila after Hemu defeated Akbar’s forces in the Battle of Delhi in 1556. You simply can’t afford to miss a visit to the ancient and historical Purana Qila when planning your Delhi Agra Jaipur tour by car package.

Salimgarh Fort:

Built in 1546 in a former Yamuna(river) island by Salim Shah Suri, Salimgarh Fort is a witness to the 15-year pause in Mughal reign over India. The pause happened because of the defeat of Mughal ruler Humayun by the hands of Sher Shah Suri, founder of the Suri dynasty in India. Aurangzeb later turned Slaimgarh fort into a prison, a practice which was continued by British rulers of India to push back the revolt of 1857. After the revolt was put down, Britishers started using the fort for an army base camp but soon resumed its usage as a prison during the Subhash Chandra Bose led Indian National Army(INA) revolt.

After understanding the historical and archeological importance of the site, UNESCO declared the fort complex as a World Heritage site in 2007.

If you are planning to go Jaipur to outstation by car to visit the many monuments of old and New Delhi, then we, at ICT, could help you get the best out of your tour plan.

Situated at a distance of 148 km from pink city Jaipur, Rajasthan's capital, it takes around 2 and a half hour by road to reach the city of Temples; Pushkar. A pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs alike, Pushkar is the only place on Earth having a Brahma temple, built in the early 14th century. Located on the shore of pious Pushkar lake, which has about 52 ghats used by pilgrims to take the holy bath, the town has as many as 400 beautiful temples.

Mode of Transport
There are multiple modes of transport that one could choose to reach the holy city. The nearest international airport to Pushkar is in Jaipur, flights from where take only 127 km of aerial route. Next option is to take a train from Jaipur for Ajmer, a journey at the end of which one has to take a taxi to travel for another 10 km to reach the final destination. But the best way to reach Pushak from Jaipur is by taxi, a trip that only takes around 2 and a half hour. Jaipur to Pushkar taxi fare is even low and justified.

Best Time to visit Pushkar
As Pushkar is a year-long tourist destination, you can choose to book a Pushkar-Jaipur tour package at any time of year. But in order to get the most out of your trip, you can choose to visit the town during the months of October – November. This is also the time when the world famous camel fair comes to town. But don’t get too confused with the name, as once the trade fair starts, “camels” only seem to be an add-on in this magnum-opus, where different culture and traditions of Rajasthan seem to share the best of themselves.

Main Tourist Attractions
The town is truly incredible in the way it welcomes and hosts its guests. Your journey could start from the banks of Pushkar Lake. Where you will see the 52 ghats of the lake jam-packed with hundreds of pilgrims. For a spiritual getaway, there are about 400 temples in the city. Famous of them are the great Brahma temple, Savitri Temple, Old Rangji Temple, Apteshwar Temple, Paap Mochini Temple, Raghunath Temple. If you are a fan of food, then make sure that your Pushkar-Jaipur tour package must include the eateries which serve Rajasthan's famous cuisine- Dal, Bati, and Churma. For lovers of nature, the place plays a heavenly host. You can take a trip to the nearby Nag Pahars, the mountains on which the entire town resides. Or the famous rose gardens, the hundred acres of farmlands used by local farmers to grow roses for the local and other temples.

In the End
Pushkar is like no place you have seen before. Everything in the town seems to be in perfect harmony with nature and is perfect in every sense. Every corner of the city speaks of spiritualism, and every turn reminds you of the man-divine connection. Even the Jaipur to Pushkar taxi fare is so low that you won’t have to give a second thought while paying off the amount.
