The splendor of Agra city remains undiminished
- from the massive Agra Fort to the magnificent Taj Mahal.
Agra’s attractions begin and end with an extraordinary collection
of Mughal monuments. The Same Day Taj Mahal Tour takes you
to awesome Agra and back the same day via train. Your well
informed guide will pick you up from the hotel and transfer
you to New Delhi Railway Station where you board the air-conditioned
Shatabdi Express at 6.10 AM. Tuck in a wholesome breakfast
on the train.
Reach Agra city at 8:10 AM where our car will pick you up
at the railway station. The same car will later accompany
you to popular attractions in your Same Day Taj Mahal Tour.
Your touring begins with a visit to the exquisite 16th century
Agra Fort where you witness Mughal architectural glory. The
complex showcases many fascinating buildings, a myriad royal
apartments, courtyards and mosques, which are a conglomeration
of different cultures of the Mughal period.
Next on the agenda is a trip to the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah,
often regarded as a template for the Taj Mahal! On the menu
is a sumptuous theme lunch.
Now for the crowning glory, the wonder of the world, the Taj
Mahal! The great architectural marvel has marble work with
intricate carvings. The Taj Mahal has elicited awe and astonishment
for four and a half centuries. However many photographs you’ve
seen of it, the reality never fails to overwhelm. The Taj
is most alluring in the early morning hours, shrouded in mist
and bathed with a soft red glow. As its vast marble surfaces
fall into shadow or reflect the sun, its color changes from
soft grey and yellow to pearly cream and dazzling white.
After thoroughly enjoyable sightseeing, you will be transferred
to the railway station at 8:20 PM to board the Shatabdi Express
train back to Delhi. Relish dinner on board the train.
