This modern highway offers a smooth and efficient journey, whisking you away from the bustling city to the heart of Mughal India. Enjoy scenic views of the countryside as you travel towards the iconic Taj Mahal, anticipating the wonders that await.
Taj Mahal
Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Taj Mahal, an ivory-white marble mausoleum commissioned in 1632 by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. This UNESCO World Heritage Site stands as a testament to eternal love and is renowned for its exquisite architecture, intricate carvings, and symmetrical design. Witness the ethereal glow of the marble at sunrise or sunset, and be captivated by the story of enduring devotion that permeates every corner of this magnificent monument.
Agra Fort
Explore the historical Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a significant Mughal-era fortress. Originally built by Emperor Akbar and later expanded by Shah Jahan, this imposing red sandstone structure served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until 1638. Discover its impressive gates, palaces, audience halls, and mosques, each reflecting a blend of Islamic and Hindu architectural styles. Enjoy stunning views of the Taj Mahal from the fort's ramparts, a poignant reminder of Shah Jahan's captivity and his undying love.
Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb (Baby Taj)
Visit the exquisite Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, often referred to as the 'Baby Taj' due to its resemblance to the Taj Mahal. This delicately carved marble mausoleum was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir, for her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg. Admire the intricate pietra dura inlay work, the peaceful gardens, and the serene atmosphere of this hidden gem. It's a perfect example of Mughal artistry and a tranquil escape from the bustling city.
Mehtab Bagh
Discover the serene Mehtab Bagh, a Mughal-era garden complex located directly across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal. This meticulously planned garden offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Taj Mahal, especially at sunset. Stroll through its lush greenery, admire the symmetrical layouts, and experience the tranquility of this riverside oasis. It's the perfect spot to capture stunning photographs and reflect on the beauty of the Taj Mahal in a peaceful setting.
Return Journey via Yamuna Expressway
Conclude your Agra adventure with a comfortable return journey to Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway. Reflect on the day's experiences as you travel back, cherishing the memories of the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and the Mughal heritage. Upon arrival in Delhi, you'll be conveniently transferred to your pre-booked hotel or the airport, ensuring a seamless end to your unforgettable Agra tour.
