(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Jama Masjid
The tour starts at the parking lot of Agra Fort, from where guests board cycle rickshaws to old Agra bazaar where our first stop-over is the magnificent Shahi Jama Masjid. A royal mosque, Shahi Jama Masjid was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s eldest and most favourite daughter Jahanara Begum in 1648.
Our next stop is the iconic Chimmanlal Poori Wale, a 200-year-old shop. It’s run by the sixth generation of the same family and has been situated at the same place for about two centuries. The shop is famous for its mouth- watering Indian delicacies. Food tasting here is optional.
We then introduce you to paan — a preparation combining betel leaf with areca nut. It is chewed for its stimulating and psychoactive effects. After chewing, it is either spat out or swallowed. Paan has many variations, and is mostly eaten post a meal as a digestive. The old Agra bazaar is famous for its Paan leaves auction since the time of the Mughals, a tradition which continues to this day. The leaves for the auction come from neighbourhood cities and also from Kolkata every day.
