Detailed Tour Itinerary

Departure from Delhi:

The tour starts early in the morning from New Delhi Railway Station, where you’ll board the Gatimaan Express or Shatabdi Express, both fast and comfortable trains offering air-conditioned carriages.

The journey to Agra typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, allowing you to reach Agra by mid-morning.

Arrival in Agra:

Upon arrival at Agra Cantonment Station, you will be greeted by a tour guide and transferred to a comfortable vehicle for the day’s sightseeing.

Taj Mahal Visit:

The first stop is the world-famous Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

You’ll have time to explore the monument, learn about its history, and take photographs. The Taj Mahal was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal and is an architectural masterpiece made of white marble.
