Highlights
- Agra - Your personal journey through Agra’s wonders begins with a bespoke greeting! Our dedicated driver and knowledgeable guide eagerly await you at your chosen haven in Agra, perfectly synchronized with your preferred time. Get ready to immerse yourself in the tapestry of this historical city!
- Taj Mahal - Standing gracefully on the sun-kissed southern bank of the Yamuna River, the Taj Mahal beckons with its timeless allure. A masterpiece commissioned in the whispers of 1632 by the visionary Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, this ivory-white marble mausoleum transcends time. Its purpose, an eternal ode to the cherished love story, as it cradles not just the delicate remains of Mumtaz Mahal, the favorite wife, but also the eternal rest of the emperor himself, Shah Jahan. Each polished surface tells a tale, inviting you to unravel the layers of history and emotion woven into the very fabric of this architectural marvel.
- Agra Fort - Early afternoon visit the second World Heritage Site of the day, the Agra Fort - is a historical fort along the bank of the Yamuna River in the city of Agra. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638 and one of the finest Mughal forts in India. The imposing red sandstone fort combines both Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles. Walking through courtyard after courtyard of this palatial red-sandstone and marble fortress, your amazement grows as the scale of what was built here begins to sink in. After visiting Agra Fort take a break for lunch at an air-conditioned restaurant.
- Itmad-ud-Daula - In the heart of Agra lies the Tomb of I’timād-ud-Daulah, a Mughal masterpiece and ‘jewel box,’ fondly called the ‘Baby Taj.’ More than a testament to the past, it’s a precursor to the Taj Mahal’s grandeur—a canvas of Mughal artistry, each delicate detail a stroke in the draft of history, waiting for your discovery.
- Mehtab Bagh - Mehtab Bagh, a celestial Charbagh in Agra, North India, unveils its enchantment north of the Taj Mahal, across the Yamuna River. Nestled in the embrace of the flood plains, this square masterpiece, spanning 300 by 300 meters, is a harmonious dance with nature. It is not merely a garden; it’s a carefully orchestrated symphony perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal on the opposite bank, inviting you to witness the poetry written in the language of architecture and landscape, a hidden gem awaiting your exploration.
- Fatehpur Sikri - After lunch, embark on a one-hour journey from the city to Fatehpur Sikri, your third World Heritage Site destination on this tour. This 16th-century walled city, known for its elegance, boasts remarkably well-preserved buildings. Often referred to as ‘the world’s most perfectly preserved ghost town,’ Fatehpur Sikri was constructed in the late 16th century and, intriguingly, was abandoned after a mere 14 years.
- Agra - After visiting Fatehpur Sikri, return to Agra and wrap up your tour by shopping for marble and soft stone inlay handicrafts, in addition to other crafts. At the end of the day, your guide returns you to your hotel, Agra train station or other desired location in Agra.
