About this activity
Your pick up will be scheduled at 6.30 am from your hotel in Delhi to Nizamuddin Railway Station. Board the high speed train ‘Gatiman Express’ to Agra. It will depart from Delhi at 08:10 am and reach Agra at 09:50 am. On reaching Agra you will be received by our representative who will take you for sightseeing in the comfort of an air-conditioned car along with a proficient tour guide.
The excursion will begin with visit to one of the Seven Wonders of the World ‘Taj Mahal’. It is a mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his late wife Mumtaz Mahal on the banks of Yamuna River. The ivory-white color of the monument is rendered by use of white marble. As you enter you would notice the massive gateway inscribed with verses from Muslim scripture Quran. A giant Mughal garden welcomes you with colorful flowers and a long canal with designer fountains. Diana Bench placed on the entrance offers a sweeping view of Taj Mahal. After crossing the garden enter the mausoleum with four minarets standing on each corner tilted slightly outwards. Witness the impeccable work on the walls with flowery designed motifs, incised paintings on ceilings, latticework, etc.
At 01:00 pm we will head towards next monument ‘Agra Fort’ situated 2.5 kms away from Taj Mahal. It is listed as UNESCO World Heritage site. The historical site is a fortification with work begun by Akbar as a protection from enemies. It is also called ‘Red Sandstone Fortress’ for being made of red sandstone. Do see the step-well later built by Babur and the attractive mosaics on the walls and ceiling.
At 02:30 pm take a lunch break and relish the meals of your choice at a local restaurant. Then enjoy some shopping at the nearby market and pick some souvenirs for your loved ones.
At 04:00 pm we will carry forward with our excursion and will leave for famous Mughal Garden ‘Mehtab Bagh’. It is built across Yamuna River to marvel at the full view of Taj Mahal while sitting in the gorgeous garden. It is spread at an area of about 300 by 300 metres (980 ft × 980 ft) in square shape. Spend some carefree time at the garden and enjoy the marvelous view of Taj Mahal.
At 05:00 pm board the chauffeur driven car to leave for the railway station. Board the train ‘Gatiman Express’ to Delhi departing from Agra at 05:50 pm and arriving New Delhi at 07:30 pm. On arrival in Delhi railway station our driver will transfer you safely to the airport. Continue your onward journey terminating the same day Agra tour package.
