Activity itinerary

New Delhi
  • 1h 30m
Your day starts with a comfortable pickup at 7:00 AM from your hotel, the airport, or any preferred location in Delhi, Noida, or Gurugram. Your driver will take you to the Delhi Nizamuddin railway station and help you find your train coach and seat, so there’s no confusion. You'll board the Gatimaan Express, India’s fastest train, which departs at 8:10 AM and gets you to Agra in just 1 hour and 40 minutes, arriving by 9:50 AM. After your day in Agra, you’ll catch the same train back—Gatimaan Express #12049, which leaves at 5:45 PM and brings you back to Delhi by 7:30 PM.
Taj Mahal
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
At 9:50 AM, your driver and local tour guide will be waiting for you at Agra Cantonment railway station, holding a placard with your name so they're easy to find. From there, you'll head straight to the Taj Mahal. This stunning white marble monument is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a true symbol of love. Built in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj Mahal sits peacefully along the Yamuna River. It’s more than just a tomb — the entire 42-acre complex includes a mosque, guest house, and beautiful gardens surrounded by high red sandstone walls. Your guide will walk you through the rich history, architecture, and romantic legacy of this world-famous site.
