From Delhi: Day Trip to Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Baby Taj

1.Early Morning Pickup from Delhi Typically, the tour begins with an early morning pickup from your Delhi location (hotel or airport). You’ll travel to Agra by car or train, with the drive usually taking around 3-4 hours. 2. Visit the Taj Mahal First stop in Agra is the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage site. A knowledgeable guide shares insights into the love story behind its construction, Mughal architecture, and details about the unique marble work. You’ll have time to explore the grounds and take photos. 3. Agra Fort After the Taj Mahal, the next stop is Agra Fort, another UNESCO-listed site and a former royal residence of the Mughal emperors. Here, you’ll explore the palatial courtyards, audience halls, and stunning views of the Taj Mahal from the fort. 4. Lunch Break Many tours include a stop at a local restaurant for a buffet or à la carte meal, often featuring regional cuisine. 5. Baby Taj (Itimad-ud-Daulah's Tomb) The final site is the Baby Taj, formally known as Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb. Often called a "draft" of the Taj Mahal, this smaller mausoleum is famous for its intricate marble inlay and lattice work, offering a quieter, yet equally beautiful architectural experience. 6. Return to Delhi After the tour, you’ll be driven back to Delhi, usually arriving by evening.
