- Taj Mahal - Begin your day with a 6am pickup from your Agra hotel or any preferred location in Agra. Proceed to the stunning Taj Mahal to witness the sunrise over this World Heritage Site. Discover why Victorian Viceroy Lord Curzon described it as the “gem of man’s handiwork…the most perfect structure in the world.” Constructed in the 1600s by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal’s architecture, history, and beauty are truly mesmerizing. The enchanting allure of the Taj Mahal will undoubtedly be the highlight of your tour.
After exploring the Taj Mahal, return to your hotel for breakfast. Following breakfast, visit a marble inlay studio to learn about the intricate marble craftsmanship inspired by the Taj Mahal’s inlays.
- Agra Fort - In the early afternoon, visit the second World Heritage Site of the day, the captivating Agra Fort. This is where Shah Jahan spent his final years, gazing sorrowfully at his masterpiece, the Taj Mahal. The fort served as the main residence for the Mughal emperors until 1638 and is one of India’s finest Mughal forts. The red sandstone fort showcases a blend of Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles. As you walk through the courtyards of this grand red-sandstone and marble fortress, you’ll be awestruck by the scale and grandeur of the construction.
- Courtyard by Marriott Agra - After visiting Agra Fort, enjoy lunch at the 5-star Hotel Courtyard by Marriott, which offers a welcoming atmosphere.
- Tomb of Akbar - This remarkable sandstone and marble tomb honors Akbar the Great, the most illustrious Mughal emperor who expanded the empire to cover most of northern India. His remains, along with those of two of his daughters, rest at Akbar’s Mausoleum, one of Agra’s most popular tourist attractions. The tomb complex is notable for its exquisite architecture and tranquil garden setting, and it is less crowded than some of Agra’s more famous sites. You might even encounter a herd of deer here.
- Mehtab Bagh - In the evening, embark on a Photo Tour of the Taj Mahal from Mehtab Bagh, the moonlit garden, which is believed to have been designed by Shah Jahan for viewing the Taj on moonlit nights, away from the bustling crowds. The garden complex is located on the left bank of the Yamuna River, directly opposite the Taj Mahal. It is a large square garden, approximately 300x300 meters, perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal. The greenery and agricultural fields provide a picturesque foreground to the Taj Mahal and its reflection in the Yamuna River. Here, you can witness the sunset over the Taj Mahal.
At the end of the day, your guide will return you to your hotel, the Agra train station, or any other preferred location in Agra.
