Tour Itinerary

Your tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Agra. Get ready to explore the beautiful city of Agra, a destination that attracts travellers from around the globe. Travel in the comfort of your own private vehicle, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will provide detailed insights into the three remarkable attractions on your itinerary.

Fatehpur Sikri

The first stop on your journey is the city of Fatehpur Sikri, meaning “City of Victory.” Built during the late 16th century under the reign of Emperor Akbar, it served as the Mughal Empire’s capital for almost a decade. This was the first planned city of the Mughal Empire, featuring palaces, public buildings, mosques, and residential areas for the royal court, army, and the city’s inhabitants.

The Fatehpur Sikri complex showcases a uniform architectural style and is home to one of the largest mosques in India, the Jama Masjid. Although the Mughals relocated their capital to Lahore in 1585, Fatehpur Sikri remained an important site for temporary visits by Mughal emperors.

Agra Fort

In the afternoon, return to Agra and proceed to Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. This impressive red sandstone fort covers 94 acres and features a semicircular design with 70-foot-high walls. A key stronghold of the Mughals, Agra Fort holds immense historical significance as the site where Humayun was crowned in 1530. Explore its remarkable architecture and learn about its role in Mughal history.

Taj Mahal

Next, visit the Taj Mahal, situated on the banks of the Yamuna River. The Taj Mahal is not only an iconic symbol of love but also an architectural masterpiece that houses the tomb of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal. The tomb serves as the centerpiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex that features a mosque, a guest house, and beautifully landscaped Mughal gardens, enclosed on three sides by a battlemented wall.

The Taj Mahal complex is a stunning example of Indo-Islamic and Mughal architecture, characterized by its symmetrical design, intricate inlay work with semi-precious stones, and structures made from white marble and red sandstone. Take your time to admire its beauty, capture some memorable photos, and enjoy your visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Optional Evening Activities

In the evening, visit Mehtab Bagh to capture breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal at sunset. This optional stop offers a unique perspective of the monument’s beauty. Alternatively, explore the vibrant local markets to shop for souvenirs and experience Agra’s culture.

Finally, return to your hotel in Agra to conclude your tour.
