Your day starts with an early pickup from your hotel in Delhi, residence, airport, or railway station. Meet your chauffeur and embark on the comfortable ride towards Agra in an exclusive air-conditioned car. It’s best if you start early because there is a lot on the list and also a return to Delhi.
On arriving in Agra, you should start your sightseeing from the Taj Mahal. The monument was constructed in honor of Queen Mumtaz Mahal by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in order to commemorate her death. It is famous for its architecture in white marble, symmetry, gardens, and decorations. The Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most visited heritage monuments in India. You should spend some time admiring this monument, take photographs of its architectural features, and move on to Agra Fort.
Second, you want to see Agra Fort, an impressive red sandstone complex that embodies the grandeur of the Mughal Empire. Inside the fort you can see the historical courtyards, palaces, audience halls and other structures of royalty. The architecture of the fort stands out in contrast to the white marble architecture of the Taj Mahal.
Emperor Akbar commissioned Fatehpur Sikri, which served as the Mughal capital from 1571 to 1585. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its grand buildings of red sandstone.
Fatehpur Sikri is not just one building but a heritage site with its own royal buildings, administrative buildings, and religious buildings.
Some of the places you must visit during your tour are as follows:
Once you have completed visiting Fatehpur Sikri, you will head back to Delhi. In your private car, you will reach the desired location where you need to be dropped off. Depending on how much time you spend sightseeing and the amount of traffic, you may arrive in Delhi even late in the evening.
