Experience the captivating charm of Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal — home to an epic love story that has echoed for centuries. A dreamlike white marble mausoleum rising like a mirage along the Yamuna River, its hues shift with every passing hour. Commissioned in 1631 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, it took 22 years to build and stands as an eternal tribute to his wife, Mumtaz. Witnessing it in person is a genuine once-in-a-lifetime moment — far more than a landmark, it's a timeless emblem of love, craftsmanship and India's cultural legacy.
Why This Trip
What You'll Love
Sunrise at the Taj
Watch the morning sun bathe the marble in a shifting spectrum of colour, with the gardens still nearly empty.
Full moon night viewing
A rare, exclusive way to see the monument under moonlight, with a candlelit dinner overlooking the Taj at Oberoi Amar Vilas.
The wider Mughal circuit
Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah (the 'Baby Taj') and Mehtab Bagh — the monuments that give the Taj Mahal its full historical context.
The Route
Day By Day
- 01
Straight to Agra
Agra
Land in Delhi and transfer directly to Agra rather than spending a night in the capital first — this trip is built entirely around the Taj. In the evening, Itmad-ud-Daulah (often called the 'Baby Taj', and considered the Taj Mahal's architectural precursor) and Mehtab Bagh's sunset views set up tomorrow's main event.
- 02
The Taj Mahal at Sunrise
Agra
An early start for the Taj Mahal, walking through the paradise-like gardens while morning mist still clings to the leaves and the complex is nearly empty. Your guide shares the love story behind the monument and details most visitors never hear. The afternoon continues through Mughal heritage at Agra Fort, plus a visit to meet descendants of the original marble-inlay artisans.
- 03
Farewell
Delhi
A free morning before the drive back to Delhi and your onward flight.
