Start Early, Travel Smart

Your day begins well before dawn. Around 2:30 to 3:00 AM, a chauffeur from India Tour Express Company will pick you up from your hotel in Delhi in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. The smooth ride down the Yamuna Expressway takes around 3 to 4 hours, giving you just enough time to relax or nap before the real adventure begins.

By the time you reach Agra, the sky will be shifting from inky black to soft purple, and the anticipation will be building.

First Light at the Taj Mahal

The main highlight of the tour is, of course, the sunrise view of the Taj Mahal. As you enter the complex with your expert guide, you'll get a front-row seat to one of the most unforgettable moments you’ll ever experience. The early morning light reflecting off the white marble creates a surreal, almost dreamlike atmosphere.

Unlike midday visits, the sunrise tour lets you explore the monument in peace. The soft light is perfect for photography, and your guide will help you capture the best angles and explain the rich history behind this symbol of love.

A Guided Journey Through History

Your personal guide will walk you through the story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, whose memory inspired the creation of this architectural marvel. You'll learn about the intricate inlay work, the symmetrical design, and the spiritual significance behind every detail.

This isn’t just a sightseeing trip—it’s a chance to connect with a powerful story that has stood the test of time.

Breakfast in Agra

After exploring the Taj Mahal, it's time to enjoy a hearty breakfast at a local, high-quality restaurant in Agra. Whether you crave a traditional Indian breakfast or prefer something continental, you’ll be treated to delicious food in a clean, relaxing environment. Coffee, tea, and fresh juices help refuel you for the rest of the tour.

Optional Visit to Agra Fort or Mehtab Bagh

Depending on your preferences and schedule, the tour can include additional stops:

• Agra Fort – A red sandstone fortress that was once the seat of Mughal power, featuring royal halls and courtyards with a view of the Taj.

• Mehtab Bagh – A peaceful garden located across the Yamuna River, offering a postcard-perfect view of the Taj Mahal from a distance.

Both options add depth to your journey, showcasing the full scale of Agra’s historical significance.

Drive Back to Delhi with a Full Heart

After a morning filled with beauty and wonder, your driver will escort you back to Delhi. Most tours return by early afternoon, giving you the rest of the day to relax or explore the capital. You’ll return not just with photos, but with a story worth telling over and over again.
