Day 1: Leaving Delhi and First Sights of Agra
Collision with Delhi in the Wee Hours
In Delhi, Noida, or Gurgaon, your private chauffeur will often arrive at your hotel or the airport at approximately 8:00 AM. Buckle up in a cool, comfy vehicle and hit the road on one of India's best highways, the Yamuna Expressway. There is a lot of beautiful landscape to enjoy throughout the 3.5-hour drive.

We Begin at Itimad-ud-Daulah, Also Known as the Baby Taj.
Get your bearings in Itimad-ud-Daulah, an often-overlooked but magnificently constructed tomb, before you tackle the major names. The Baby Taj is a magnificent marble monument that was an inspiration for the larger Taj Mahal. It is a miniature masterpiece in its own right. The serene gardens and intricate inlay work prepare the audience for what is to come.

Arrival at Your Agra Hotel
The next step is to choose a four- or five-star hotel; many packages include nights in boutique or luxury properties. Unwind, get dressed, and prepare for your afternoon escapade.

The Agra Fort, a Massive Mughal Stronghold
Afterwards, you will be escorted to Agra Fort, a site that tells the tale of India's regal history and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Marvel at the ornate palaces, gardens, red sandstone walls, and enormous gates. Even the chamber where the infamous Shah Jahan was confined while staring out at the Taj Mahal will be visible to you.

View of the Taj Mahal at Sunset from Mehtab Bagh
As the sun sets, make your way over the Yamuna River to Mehtab Bagh, often known as the Moonlight Garden. Get away from the hustle and bustle at this peaceful location and enjoy a stunning sunset view of the Taj Mahal. It's idyllic for picture taking, serene, and full of romance.

Relaxing Evening
After a long day of sightseeing, relax at your hotel or head to one of the many local bazaars to find marble trinkets, leather products, and the world-famous petha (a sweet delicacy) of Agra.

Second Day: Sunrise Visit to the Taj Mahal and Back to Delhi
Sunrise A trip to see the Taj Mahal
This tour stop is the high point. If you want to see the Taj Mahal in the morning, you need to get up early. An enchanted experience awaits you as you watch the monument's colors shift in the dawn light. The tranquility and beauty will be all the more apparent when there are less people around.

As you explore the architectural marvels, symbolic meanings, and detailed artistry of the monument, your guide will delve into the tragic and romantic tale of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan.

Wake up with a hotel breakfast
Get some sleep and a full breakfast before checking out of your motel. To keep you going on the way back, most hotels provide a sumptuous buffet.

Optional: Visit the Local Bazaar or the Marble Inlay Workshop
You may observe how skilled artists still utilize traditional techniques to produce exquisite designs—like the ones on the Taj Mahal—by visiting a marble inlay studio before you leave Agra. Another option is to visit the nearby market for any last-minute souvenirs, in case you didn't have time to purchase the day before.

Reverse the Trip to Delhi
You will be driven back to Delhi by your driver once you have checked out. Arriving in the early evening, you will conclude your tour with a plethora of unforgettable experiences and a camera brimming with breathtaking images.
