Spend time exploring its beauty, gardens, and marble inlay work while your guide explains the fascinating stories behind its creation.

Next, visit the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by Emperor Akbar in 1565. Walk through the grand red sandstone courtyards, royal palaces, and halls like the Diwan-i-Aam and Diwan-i-Khas. From here, you can enjoy a distant view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.

Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at one of Agra’s popular multi-cuisine restaurants. Relish traditional Indian flavors along with continental dishes in a clean, air-conditioned setting.

After lunch, you can choose between two experiences:

Visit Mehtab Bagh, a beautiful riverside garden offering a panoramic view of the Taj Mahal from across the Yamuna.

Or explore Agra’s local handicraft markets, famous for marble inlay work, jewelry, leather goods, and carpets.

After completing your sightseeing, begin your return journey to Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive with comfort stops along the way if needed.
