• Gwalior Fort - The driver will collect guests from their hotel or the airport in Agra and transport them in a private vehicle to Gwalior, a journey of 120 km. Upon arrival, a knowledgeable guide will greet them to commence the tour of the historic Gwalior Fort. Constructed in the 8th century CE by Raja Man Singh Tomar, the fort is perched on a steep hill known as Gopachal. Visitors will explore significant sites such as Man Mandir and Karan Mandir, along with the Archaeological Museum. The Man Mandir, created by Raja Man Singh, is famous for its exquisite wall art.
• Sas-Bahu Temple - The Sas Bahu Temple in Gwalior, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, was established by King Mahipala in 1092 AD. Lord Vishnu, also called Sahastrabahu (“one with many hands”), inspired the temple’s original name, which evolved into “Sas Bahu” over time due to mispronunciation or interpretation.

Built to ensure the prosperity and success of his realm, King Mahipala’s temple is a remarkable example of medieval architecture. The complex includes two temples—one larger and one smaller—symbolically named the “mother-in-law” and “daughter-in-law” temples. Both feature intricately carved walls, elegant figures, and finely crafted pillars, showcasing exceptional artistic and architectural talent.

The term “Bandi” means “imprisoned” and “Chhor” means “release.”
• Gujari Mahal Archaeological Museum - Gujari Mahal was constructed by Raja Man Singh Tomar for his wife, Mrignayani, a Gujar princess. She requested a separate palace with a consistent water supply, which was provided through an aqueduct from the nearby Rai River. The palace now serves as an archaeological museum displaying rare artifacts, including Hindu and Jain sculptures from the 1st and 2nd centuries BCE, a miniature statue of Salabhanjika, terracotta items, and replicas of frescoes from the Bagh Caves.
• Jai Vilas Palace Museum - Jai Vilas Palace, erected in 1874 by Maharaja Jayajirao Scindia in Gwalior, India, is a 19th-century royal residence.
