A train arrives at Agra Cantt railway station. When you arrive, a representative from our firm will meet you at the train terminal, and then your Agra sightseeing trip will begin. You’ll be seeing the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort today.

In honor of his grieving wife, Mumtaj Mahal, who passed away in childbirth at the age of 39, the bereaved Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan constructed the Taj Mahal in the 16th century. She inspired the Taj Mahal, which is the name given to the tomb. It is a distinctive man-made object constructed of white marble that is recognized as one of the seven wonders of the world. At the time of construction, the marble had been transported by animal carts from a location named Makarana, close to Jodhpur in Rajasthan. Legend has it that it took 20,000 workers and craftsmen 22 years to build the Taj Mahal. It was made feasible by their physical effort. Millions of people from all over the world visit the Taj Mahal because of the exceptional engineering work and beautiful carving on the marble stone. A UNESCO world heritage property is the Taj Mahal. On Fridays, the Taj Mahal is closed.

We visit the Red Fort in Agra, which is close by on the Yamuna River bank, after our trip to the Taj. The Mughal Emperor Akbar constructed it in the 15th century, and it is composed of red sandstone, as it sounds. There is no public access to the fort’s sector that the Indian Army has taken over. Once again, it is a remarkable example of Mughal artistry and construction from the 15th-century Taj.

Once again, it is a remarkable example of Mughal artistry and construction from the 15th century. The Taj Mahal’s architect, Shah Jahan, was imprisoned in the Agra Fort by his son, Aurangzeb. Shah Jahan spent his last eight years of life at the Agra Fort, a shaken and unfit old man. Legend has it that he used to gaze at the Taj from his window in the Red Fort. The Taj Mahal may be seen in all its glory across the Yamuna River from the Agra Fort.

You will be escorted to a five-star hotel for a buffet lunch after the sightseeing tour of the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort.

Visit the magnificent mausoleum of the chief minister and father-in-law of the emperor Jehangir after lunch. This tomb is often referred to as the “Baby Taj” because of the Taj Mahal’s influence on its design. The mausoleum of Itim-ud-Daulah is sometimes referred to as a “jewel box,” also known as the “Baby Tj,” and is frequently seen as an early version of the Taj Mahal. There are several sheds and gardens there. The mausoleum, constructed between 1622 and 1628, marks a change from the early colossal Mughal architecture, which was mostly made of red sandstone with marble ornamentation. The tomb was ordered by Nr. Jahn, Jahangir’s wife, for her father, Mirz Ghiys Beg, a Persian amir who was initially living in exile.

Take a wander around Agra’s marketplaces and bazaars to get a feel for the local culture before the train arrives. Restaurants with a variety of cuisines, marble shops, carpet shops, and stores selling leather goods are all great places to spend some quality time.

You’ll be dropped off at the Agra Cantt train station, where you can catch the Gatimaan Express train to Delhi.

The Gatimaan Express train leaves Agra. On the train, tea and snacks will be provided.
