Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Taj Mahal, Dharmapuri, Forest Colony, Tajganj, Agra 282001 India
Widely known as the monument to love, the beauty, grandeur of the Taj Mahal is unparalleled. Starting from your hotel in Delhi, it will be a 3-hour ride to Agra. After reaching there before sunrise, you can enjoy the view of Taj Mahal with the backdrop of the rising sun. It will be a view well worth the early morning ride.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Agra Fort Rakabgani, Agra 282003 India
Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, Yamuna River, Agra 282001 India
The pure white and elaborately carved tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah conforms to the Islamic style of architecture. The use of arched entrances, octagonal shaped towers or minarets, use of exquisitely carved floral patterns, intricate marble-screen work and inlay work are all representative of the Islamic style. The absence of a dome and the presence of a closed kiosk on top of this building and the use of chhatris (small domed canopies, supported by pillars) atop the four towers (minarets) instead of proper domes are reflective of local influence.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Mehtab Bagh, Nagla Devjit Etmadpur, Agra India
Mehtab Bagh is a small garden, which lies close to Taj Mahal. This garden is very famous for spotting Taj Mahal from a distance at Sunset. The garden is square shaped and perfectly aligned with the wonder, which is found on the other side of the river.
