Breakfast at hotel, visit Taj Mahal: One of the Seven Wonder of the World was build by Shah Jahan in 1631 AD and was completed in 1651. This symbol of love was build in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Described as the most extravagant monument ever build for love. It was constructed by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his queen Mumtaz Mahal, made out of white marble took 22 years to complete. Ustad Ahamad Lahori, a Parsian Architect, is said to be the main designer and planer of this magnificent memorial. On full moon night, the glory of the Taj is at its best. (Taj Mahal remain closed on every Friday)

Agra Fort:

build by the famed Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1565AD, the fort is predominantly of red sandstone. Construction of the massive red sandstone Agra Fort on the bank of the Yamuna River was begun by Emperor Akbar in 1565, though additions were made up until the rule of his grandson, Shah Jahan region it has partially become Palace. The fort presents a good sampling of their favoured architectural styles. Akbar drew on Islamic and Hindu traditions and the result is eclectic. By Shah Jahan's time the style had become so homogenized that it is impossible to separate the Hindu and Muslim strands. The Diwan-I-Am (public audience hall) the beautiful Diwan-I-Khas (private audience hall) were also added by Shah Jahan.

Rest time free to relax before the start of the challenge. Overnight at Hotel.

Day 4: Agra - Fatehpur Sikri - camp site Bashawar 73km approx

Early start today with a coach transfer from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri (35km). Here we have chance to see what was the capital of the Mughal Empire known as Fatehpur Sikkri (City of Victory). This complex of monuments and temples was built by the Emperor Akbar and was home to his 4 wives. A holy man will bless our journey by conducting a Puja ceremony before we board the coaches to the village of Khanua where we set off from to cycle through the colourful Rajasthan countryside. We start off on a dirt stretch of road for about 4.5km through fields and small villages – a spectacular start! The rest of the day’s ride is on secondary roads full of pot holes through villages and past temples. Overnight camp near the village of Bashawar.

Day 5: Bashawar – Bhandarej 90km approx

A great day of cycling today through beautiful Rajasthan along flat roads with hills either side of us in the morning. We cycle on minor roads all day today with little traffic, but many potholes! After lunch we cycle through probably the most scenic section of the whole trip - Rajasthan rural life at its best. After a long day's cycling we reach Bhandarej village where we spend the night at the atmospheric Bhadrawadi Palace.

Day 6: Bhandarej - Tahela Camp site 77km approx

It’s a tough day today with some short off road sections. We will begin the day by cycling to the Abhenrai ancient temple complex which is around 700 years old. The roads are not bad on the first part of the day but become worse and narrower as the day goes on. In the morning the surroundings are simply stunning - green valleys with lush vegetation, ancient forts on the hill tops. As the day goes on, it becomes more arid and a bit hillier but will hopefully see the monkeys playing in the trees. We will camp on the edge of the Seriska Tiger Park.

Day 7, Tahela Camp - Doela camp site 98km approx

The terrain today is less exotic and more arid, but nonetheless it is a spectacular day of cycling. We will stop to look at the ruins of an ancient city, reaching it by cycling on the edge of the Seriska Park where there is a good chance we will see some wild life. We continue to see the ruins of the temple there. Certain parts of the roads today are in a bad condition. We arrive at the most spectacular camp site of the trip in the sand dunes next to the village of Doela with two ancient forts on the background hills.

Day 8: Doela Camp – Lal Mahal - Jaipur 52km approx

Our last day of cycling. Part of this area is arid, almost like desert. We start this morning on an undulating road cycling between sand dunes. Some of the terrain is undulating, at certain parts the asphalt just stops, a dirt road continues and the asphalt returns. We have 5 km on a dirt track and through a river before we join the tarmac road again to Tala. Villages remain very authentic this morning and we cycle past a beautiful lake home to some crocodiles! We finish the amazing challenge at Lal Mahal where we will have lunch. We then transfer about 20km to Jaipur and have time to explore. Overnight in Jaipur.

Amber is superb example of Rajput architecture, situated on a hilltop, overlooking a lake. Amber Fort is known for its unique artistic style, blending both Hindu and Muslim (Mughal) elements, and its ornate and breathtaking artistic mastery. The initial structure of the fort was entirely completed by the descendant of Jai Singh I. Amber was modified by successive rulers over the next 150 years, until the Kachwahas shifted their capital to Jaipur during the time of Sawai Jai Singh II.

City tour of Jaipur, the origins of the beautiful city of Jaipur can be traced back to the eighteenth century, during the reign of Jai Singh II who ascended the Amber throne in 1699.
