Itinerary

Ringed by 1.2-mile (2-kilometer) sandstone walls and crowned by gateways and turrets, this massive complex was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1638, at the height of India’s Mughal Empire, and took 10 years to build.
  • On arrival, enter the iconic Red Fort with your private guide. Walk the long corridors and experience the grandeur of this massive and spectacular architecture.  
  • Settle in an outdoor seat and be swept up by the lights, music, and drama of the 1-hour Sound and Light show. Chart the story of Delhi and the Mughal Empire over 300 years through the booming commentary, and watch as video projections and imagery bring scenes from India’s history alive.
  • When the show finishes, join in the applause and make your way back to your vehicle. Then, relax on your return ride to your hotel, where your experience ends.
