Overview
Same-Day Excursion to Bharatpur
This full-day excursion from Agra covers three major attractions near the city. We start early in the morning and drive about 1 hour 30 minutes to reach Fatehpur Sikri – the former capital of Emperor Akbar. Built between 1571 and 1585, this walled city is known for its grand palaces and monuments, though it was later abandoned.
From here, we continue to Bharatpur to visit the famous Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary. Spread across 29 sq. km, the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to 365 species of birds along with a rich variety of flora and fauna. Enjoy a four-course buffet lunch before heading to Deeg.
Deeg was once the capital of the Jat rulers of Rajasthan, with its beautiful palace built by Badan Singh. After the visit, we return to Agra.

Drive to Fatehpur Sikri
After breakfast, you will be picked up from your Agra hotel and driven 40 km in a private car to Fatehpur Sikri, also known as the Ghost City. Once the second capital of Emperor Akbar, this UNESCO World Heritage Site features impressive monuments such as Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Panch Mahal, Jodhabai’s Palace, Mariam’s Palace, and the Turkish Sultana’s Palace.
Beyond the royal complex lies the religious section with two grand gateways: the Royal Gate and the magnificent Buland Darwaza, built to mark Akbar’s victory over Gujarat. Within the complex, you will also visit the Jama Masjid and the white marble mausoleum of the Sufi saint, Hazrat Sheikh Salim Chishti.

Here, you can spot resident birds like spoonbills, egrets, white ibis, painted storks, and purple moorhens, along with migratory species such as the Siberian crane.

After visiting the sanctuary, drive 32 km to Deeg, the former capital of the Jat rulers before they shifted to Bharatpur. The palace was originally built by Badan Singh but faced repeated attacks.

The architecture reflects the grandeur of Mughal courts, featuring Charbagh-style gardens with fountains and tree-lined avenues that helped cool the surroundings.
