This tour is ideal for those of you who plan to spend more than just a day in Agra. If you like architecture, history, un-crowded off-the-beaten track places with plenty of nature, then you will enjoy this tour immensely.

During this tour we will be visiting three Hindus temples (6th to 12th century) within 2 hours driving distance from Agra. 'The Bateshwara Temple Circuit', comprising of Bateshwara Temples (ruins like Angkor Wat in Cambodia), Garhi Padhavali and Mitawali (inspired the Parliament House in Delhi). Please dress up conservatively and be patient - sometimes roads are bad and tourist facilities are not like they are in major attractions.

You will need to organize transportation for this tour which is not included in the tour price. Also minimum number of bookings for the tour is 2, if you are just one traveler book for 2 people.

This tour can be combined with my other tour - Chambal River Safari
