Fatehpur Sikri Hotels - Reviews and Rates

So we arrived in Agra and planned on only staying the day, then catching a pm train to Varanasi. We thought that Agra would be realllly touristy, and therefore, full of touts, so figured we wouldn't want to be there long at all. But then we tried to book a train for the evening and they were booked for the next two days!! We spent the entire day...

Fatehpur Sikri Aman: It was incredible. It was very beautiful, and had a ton of amazing carving work, especially in the palace. 40 km from Agra, Fatehpur Sikri was the seat of Akbar's capital after the birth of his son Jahangir, which was predicted by a sufi saint living here. He moved his capital here to honor the saint who brought him news of ...

Its hard to know what the great Moghul King Akbar was thinking when he decided to build from scratch a new capital at Fatehpur Sikri. He already had a perfectly good one in Agra. Unlike his Father, we can not blame this decision on opium, but after roughly 8 years he returns his capital 40km down the road to Agra, and leaves Fatehpur Sikri as a ...

This was a short stop on our way from Agra. It was a huge fort area in the middle of no where. The king had to leave the amazing fort because there was a serious water shortage!

We leave Agra this morning and jump into 2 jeeps heading for Fatehpur Sikri a 16th Century fortified ghost city with palaces and pavilions.

"Ma pensano proprio che siamo scemi?", diceva tra i denti Lenka, visibilmente irritata. Erano le 9 di mattina ed anche se la notte era stata fredda, il sole cominciava a picchiare sulla quindicina di chili che ognuno di noi due portava in zaino. Dopo aver visitato i palazzi di Fatehpur Sikri, andavamo a prendere l'autobus per Jaipur, e la solita...

Le surnom de Fatehpur Sikri , la ville fantome vient de cette petite annecdote : Akbar le grand (notons que Akbar voulant dire le grand en Arabe, ca fait un peu pléonasme) a décidé de construire une cité parfaite, au milieu du désert, pour en faire sa capitale. Seulement à cet emplacement vivait un hermite depuis un certain temps déja et il n'é...

After the majesty of the incomparable Taj Mahal we traveled out of Agra to the abandoned capital of Fatipur Sikri. We were expecting to be a little "monument weary" by this stage but the city was a vast and stunning testament to an India before the British. An India of an architectural sophistication and religious tolerance that we could do well...
