As part of our trip in 1995, we went from Agra across to Jaipur for a night, – the pink city, – and also to Pushkar, – a very holy Hindu lake town near Ajmer, – for another evening. Very scenic, with the hotel being right on the waters edge, and all the temples around the opposite side of this small lake and their music and bathing added very much to the atmosphere of the place. Back to Jaipur and then onto to Delhi to catch our breath! Agra also has the famous Agra fort and another mausoleum that predates the Taj by 100 years, which has much nicer inlaid work on it I feel. Jaipur has the Amber Fort and the Pink Palace and the whole of the inner city is in this pink stone. Quite good shopping here, but the beggars on the main streets were incredible! New Delhi has the Red Fort that is also very impressive, as well as the palace and Government buildings built by the British and looking like an old Roman mini city. And every city and the countryside is filled with pagodas galore!!
