How the Day Unfolds

Morning: Departure from Delhi

Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel or airport in Delhi. You’ll be escorted to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, where your train tickets and seats are already arranged. Board the Gatimaan Express, which departs around 8:10 AM.

While you enjoy your comfortable seat, sit back and sip on tea or coffee while a light breakfast is served onboard. You’ll glide through the Indian countryside and reach Agra by 9:50 AM.

Arrival in Agra: Let the Magic Begin

Your private driver and licensed tour guide will be waiting at Agra Cantt Station. From there, it’s straight to the Taj Mahal—the jewel of Mughal architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Taj Mahal Experience

As you walk through the main gate, the breathtaking white marble structure reveals itself. It’s a moment you’ll never forget. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj isn’t just a monument—it’s a timeless tribute to love.

Your guide will share legends, architectural secrets, and the emotional history behind every stone. And yes, there’s plenty of time for selfies and those postcard-perfect shots.

Agra Fort: Royalty in Red Sandstone

Next up, the majestic Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is where emperors ruled, battles were planned, and history was written in every corridor. From the throne rooms to Shah Jahan’s prison cell (with a view of the Taj!), the stories here are spine-tingling.

Lunch at a Luxury Restaurant

After soaking in all that history, it’s time for a hearty meal. You'll enjoy a delicious Indian buffet lunch at a top-rated restaurant in Agra. From creamy butter chicken to sizzling kebabs and veggie delights, there’s something for every palate.

Optional Visit: Mehtab Bagh or Baby Taj

Depending on your preferences and time, you can explore the Mehtab Bagh for a riverside view of the Taj at a peaceful distance, or the charming Itimad-ud-Daulah—often called the “Baby Taj” for its similar aesthetic and intricate design.

Back to the Station

Around 5:30 PM, you’ll be driven back to Agra Cantt Station to board the return Gatimaan Express, which departs around 5:50 PM. Relax and enjoy your dinner onboard, reflect on the day, or scroll through your beautiful photos.

By 7:30 PM, you’re back in Delhi, where your driver will be waiting to drop you off safely at your hotel or the airport.
