Tour Plan
01Day 1: Arrival in Delhi & Blue-Hour Orientation Shoot
Upon arrival in Delhi, you check in to your hotel and take time to rest after your journey. In the early evening, your photography experience begins gently in New Delhi’s landmark district. The wide avenues around India Gate and the Presidential Palace are especially photogenic during blue hour, when the sky deepens into rich tones and the architecture glows under soft lights.
This session is perfect for experimenting with long-exposure traffic trails, wide-angle symmetry shots, or atmospheric cityscapes. It’s an easy, inspiring way to settle into your photographic rhythm while exploring accessible locations without pressure.

02Day 2: Old Delhi Street Photography & New Delhi Heritage Angles
The day starts early in Old Delhi, when morning light enhances textures, colors, and raw urban energy. A rickshaw ride through Chandni Chowk opens up countless opportunities—intimate portraits, candid street scenes, expressive vendors, spice markets, arches, patterns, and authentic daily life.
At Jama Masjid, the expansive courtyards allow you to capture dramatic wide shots featuring domes, arches, and human silhouettes in motion. Later, the focus shifts to New Delhi’s heritage monuments, including Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar. Their manicured gardens, red sandstone symmetry, and towering minarets are ideal for working with depth, framing, and balanced architectural compositions.
Overnight in Delhi
03Day 3: Delhi to Agra & Sunset Photography at Mehtab Bagh
Travel to Agra via a smooth expressway and settle into your hotel before heading out for an unforgettable sunset session. Mehtab Bagh, located across the Yamuna River, offers one of the most peaceful and unobstructed views of the Taj Mahal during golden hour.
As the sun lowers, the marble monument glows in warm hues. This is an excellent time for silhouettes, reflections along the riverbank, minimalist frames, and creative compositions using trees, arches, and natural textures. The gradually fading light allows you to experiment with multiple moods in a single session.
Overnight in Agra
04Day 4: Sunrise at the Taj Mahal & Agra Fort Architecture
Before dawn, you head to the Taj Mahal for your main photography session. Early morning light softly illuminates the marble, producing delicate pastel tones and serene scenes with fewer crowds. This is the best time for reflective pool shots, perfect symmetry, close-up details of floral carvings, and wide compositions that highlight the monument’s calm, timeless beauty.
After breakfast, explore Agra Fort, where open courtyards, layered pavilions, and dramatic archway shadows create striking architectural frames. The contrast between red sandstone and white marble adds depth and richness to your photographs, especially as the light shifts through the afternoon.
Overnight in Agra
05Day 5: Agra to Jaipur via Stepwell Geometry & Evening City Views
On the drive to Jaipur, stop at the remarkable Abhaneri Stepwell (Chand Baori). Its perfectly aligned staircases form one of India’s most impressive geometric patterns, making it ideal for top-down compositions, symmetry studies, shadow play, and abstract architectural photography.
Arrive in Jaipur by evening and head to a local viewpoint to photograph the Pink City as it transitions into dusk. The warm amber glow over the old quarters and city walls creates a beautifully atmospheric introduction to Rajasthan.
Overnight in Jaipur
06Day 6: Amber Fort Sunrise & Jaipur Heritage Photography
Begin early at Amber Fort, where the first rays of sunlight gently illuminate the sandstone walls, revealing textures, patterns, and reflective highlights. Capture sweeping courtyard views, hilltop panoramas, palace windows, and intricately designed interiors. This morning session is often considered the photographic highlight of the entire tour.
Next, visit Panna Meena Stepwell, known for its striking diamond-shaped stair patterns. Here, you can work with repetition, perspective, and contrast to create bold visual impact. The day continues with visits to Hawa Mahal, perfect for frontal façade shots, and City Palace, where colorful gates, mosaic details, and royal architecture offer endless creative possibilities.
Overnight in Jaipur
07Day 7: Jaipur Markets, Local Colors & Sunset Fort Session
The morning is dedicated to photographing Jaipur’s vibrant markets. Textiles, handicrafts, turmeric piles, jewelry shops, and painted doorways create lively frames rich in color and character. Natural light filtering through shop awnings is ideal for portraits, candid moments, and storytelling street photography.
In the evening, drive to Nahargarh Fort or a similar scenic viewpoint to capture Jaipur at sunset. As the city shifts from golden light into blue hour, the skyline becomes a stunning backdrop. This final session beautifully ties together your creative experiences across Rajasthan.
Overnight in Jaipur
08Day 8: Return to Delhi & Departure
Enjoy a relaxed morning before driving back to Delhi in your private vehicle. Upon arrival, your driver transfers you to the airport or your onward destination. Your photography journey concludes with a diverse and powerful collection of images—architectural masterpieces, cultural encounters, candid street moments, and atmospheric landscapes—captured across India’s most iconic travel circuit.
