Itinerary

• Pickup from Delhi (Around 2:30 AM – Flexible)

Your tour starts early in the morning with a private AC car pickup from anywhere in Delhi/NCR — hotel, airport, or residence. Travel in comfort via the Yamuna Expressway, which ensures a smooth 3.5–4 hour drive to Agra.

Sunrise Visit at the Taj Mahal

Arrive at the Taj Mahal just before sunrise — around 5:45 AM to 6:15 AM depending on the season.

• Taj Mahal – The Crown Jewel of India

As the sun rises over the Yamuna River, the Taj Mahal glows with soft, changing colors — creating a surreal atmosphere. Built between 1631 and 1653 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the monument is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Marvel at the intricately carved marble, semi-precious stone inlay work (Pietra Dura), calligraphy, and symmetrical design. Walk along its raised platforms, visit the central dome, and view the twin red sandstone mosques. Early morning means minimal crowds, cooler weather, and the best light for photography.

Don’t miss the reflection of the Taj in the central pool and symmetrical views from the main gate.

• Agra Fort

After a light breakfast break (optional), head to the majestic Agra Fort, built in red sandstone by Emperor Akbar in 1565. This sprawling fort was a powerful Mughal military base and later became a royal residence. Inside, explore the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), Musamman Burj (where Shah Jahan was imprisoned), and Shish Mahal (Mirror Palace).

You’ll also get beautiful distant views of the Taj Mahal from within the fort, framed perfectly by arches and lattice windows.

• Breakfast / Tea Break (Optional)

Choose to stop at a 5-star hotel restaurant or a recommended local café for breakfast before returning. This is optional and flexible.

• Mehtab Bagh (Optional Add-On)

Visit Mehtab Bagh, the "Moonlight Garden" located directly across the river from the Taj Mahal. Ideal for those who want alternate photo angles or a peaceful garden walk. Best visited in early morning or before departing.

• Handicraft Workshop Visit (Optional)

Agra is known for its marble inlay work, just like what you see on the Taj Mahal. Visit a local artisan showroom to witness how this centuries-old art is still practiced today. Perfect for buying souvenirs or observing craftsmanship.

• Return Journey to Delhi

After a satisfying and serene morning, depart from Agra by early afternoon and reach Delhi by 3:00–4:00 PM, depending on your pace and stops. Drop-off at your preferred location.

Note: Timings are flexible. Tour can be adjusted to include or exclude monuments, shops, or lunch based on your preference.
