Additional Information
Our Delhi-Agra rail journey commences from a designated location in Delhi, where you will be greeted by our tour representative. From there, we will accompany you to Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station to embark on the historical exploration of Agra by train. The railway, revered as the backbone of India’s transportation network, links the corners of the country, moving billions of passengers and goods annually.
The Taj Mahal day expedition from Delhi by a linked set of vehicles running on rail tracks carries its unique allure. Before the British rule, transit between Agra and Delhi was done either through the Arawali forest or by sailing down the Yamuna River. The daily commute from Delhi to Agra by train remains popular today.
