As per your requirement, we can pick you from your hotel/residence/Delhi airport / Delhi railroad station. Starting early gives you enough time to enjoy your day and to spend time sightseeing in both Agra and Fatehpur Sikri.
Your first point of attraction is the Taj Mahal, the renowned monument of Agra, which is one of the most famous monuments of India. Do some exploration of the white marble tomb along with its gardens, gateways, and other architectural designs. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was built for Mumtaz Mahal by Emperor Shah Jahan. If you plan to visit early in the morning, it is to be noted from the tourism information that the monument opens 30 minutes before sunrise and closes 30 minutes before sunset and is not open on Fridays.
Following the Taj Mahal, visit Agra Fort, which is a huge red sandstone fort complex with a rich historical significance for the Mughals. This fort comprises large courtyards, palaces, and audience halls and is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. This place is located at a distance of around 2.5 km from the Taj Mahal.
Fatehpur Sikri was constructed under the rule of Emperor Akbar and acted as the capital of the Mughals from 1571 to 1585.
Fatehpur Sikri provides an entirely different experience compared to the Taj Mahal. Fatehpur Sikri is a historical complex that includes religious, architectural, and royal buildings, whereas the Taj Mahal is a single monument.
