🕌 9:30 AM – Arrive at the Taj Mahal
You arrive in Agra just in time for the morning glow at the Taj Mahal. The white marble glistens in the soft sun as your local guide leads you past the entrance, sharing the legendary love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.
You pause to absorb the majestic architecture, walk barefoot across the cool marble, and capture that postcard-perfect shot in front of the dome. It’s surreal-everything you imagined, and more.
🏰 11:30 AM – Explore Agra Fort
A short drive takes you to the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a true Mughal architectural wonder. The massive red sandstone walls open into royal halls, courtyards, and secret passages.
Your guide tells tales of emperors, invasions, and the fort’s strategic brilliance. You even get a distant glimpse of the Taj Mahal through one of the arched windows-framed perfectly, like a painting.
🍽️ 1:00 PM – Lunch at a Local Restaurant
After a morning filled with sightseeing, it’s time to indulge in authentic Mughlai cuisine. Think butter naan, spicy kebabs, and creamy korma-all served with warm hospitality at a well-rated Agra restaurant.
Vegetarian options? Vegan choices? Absolutely. Custom spice levels? You got it. Whether you’re a foodie or a casual eater, Agra’s flavors don’t disappoint.
🌿 2:30 PM – Optional: Mehtab Bagh or Shopping
Depending on your interests and time, you can choose between:
- Mehtab Bagh – A peaceful garden across the Yamuna with stunning rear views of the Taj.
- Local Markets – Explore Agra’s famed marble inlay work, leather goods, handicrafts, and souvenirs.
🚘 4:00 PM – Head Back to Delhi
