Itinerary
1
Taj Mahal
Start your day with an early morning 6am pickup from your Agra hotel or other desired location in Agra and head to the breathtaking TAJ MAHAL to see the sunrise over the World Heritage Site that was built in the 1600s by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the tribute to the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Just immerse yourself in its amazing architecture, history, and beauty. It is at its most magical at sunrise. There are also fewer people at this time so you can enjoy a much more intimate experience. The magical allure of the Taj Mahal shall definitely be the highlight of your tour.
After visiting Taj Mahal return to your hotel for breakfast.
Post breakfast visit a marble inlay studio (after seeing the exquisite Taj inlays, you must want to know how this marble magic works).
Duration: 3 hours
2
Agra Fort
Early afternoon visit the fascinating Agra Fort (where Shah Jahan was imprisoned for the last years of his life, peering dolefully out at his masterpiece - The Taj Mahal). It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638 and one of the finest Mughal forts in India. The imposing red sandstone fort combines both Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles. Walking through courtyard after courtyard of this palatial red-sandstone and marble fortress, your amazement grows as the scale of what was built here begins to sink in.
At the end of the tour, your guide returns you to your hotel, Agra train station or other desired location in Agra.
Duration: 2 hours
