Humayun’s Tomb introduces us to the Mughal architectural style—its Persian influences and lush gardens make it a peaceful respite from city chaos. While tickets aren’t included, the tomb’s design profoundly influenced the Taj Mahal, making it a must-see for architecture buffs.
The Lotus Temple is a contemporary marvel, shaped like a lotus flower and open to all faiths. It’s an inspiring space for quiet contemplation, and the simple beauty of its stone and glass lends itself to peaceful photos.

The afternoon takes you to Fatehpur Sikri, Akbar’s erstwhile capital. Its grand mosque, Jami Masjid, and the impressive Buland Darwaza are among India’s finest architectural achievements. Reviewers note that the red sandstone carvings and the scale of the structures are particularly striking, and it’s a great way to learn more about Mughal history.
In Jaipur, the Hawa Mahal immediately captures attention with its honeycomb facade—it’s a perfect spot for a quick photo, though many find it more impressive in person, especially from the inside where the intricate latticework allows for breezes and discreet palace viewing.
Amber Fort offers a scenic ride up on an elephant or jeep, with stunning views over Maota Lake. The fort’s blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture features courtyards, palaces, and mirror halls that tell stories of royalty and valor.

The City Palace in Jaipur is a sprawling complex with courtyards, museums, and ornate architecture. It gives a glimpse into Rajput history and royal life, with some reviewers noting the mix of Mughal and Rajasthani styles.
Jaisalmer’s Sonar Quila (Golden Fort) is a highlight, rising from the desert like a golden mirage. The sunset casting a warm glow over the fort is often described as breathtaking, with the intricate carvings and bustling markets within providing authentic Rajasthan charm.
Nathmal Ji Ki Haveli stands out for its symmetrical architecture and detailed yellow sandstone carvings, including miniature paintings and carved tuskers—reviewers appreciate the craftsmanship that gives life to the haveli’s walls.
Kothari’s Patwon Ki Haveli is another elaborate structure, showcasing traditional craftsmanship with its mirror work and carvings. While some say it’s lost some of its former glory, it remains a window into opulent merchant life.
