Fatehpur Sikri

Fatehpur Sikri

Fatehpur Sikri is a historical city located near Agra in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It was once the capital of the Mughal Empire under Emperor Akbar and is renowned for its well-preserved architectural marvels, including palaces, mosques, and courtyards.

Fatehpur Sikri was founded in the 16th century by Emperor Akbar in 1569. The city served as the Mughal capital for a short period, from 1571 to 1585. It was strategically located to honor the Sufi saint, Sheikh Salim Chishti, whose blessings were believed to have led to Akbar's son and heir, Jahangir's birth. The city was abandoned due to water scarcity, and the Mughal capital was moved back to Agra. Despite being deserted, Fatehpur Sikri's architectural beauty has been remarkably preserved and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

(July to September) : While the monsoon season brings relief from the heat, it can be wet and humid, so travel plans may be disrupted due to heavy rainfall.

(October to February) : The best time to visit Fatehpur Sikri is during the winter months when the weather is cool and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 8°C to 25°C (46°F to 77°F). This is the ideal time for exploring the historical site comfortably.
