Taj Mahal Day Tour by Gatimaan Express – From Delhi to Agra

The day starts around 7:00 AM with a pickup from wherever you're staying — your hotel, the airport, or even a friend’s place in Delhi, Noida, or Gurugram. One of our drivers will get you to the Hazrat Nizamuddin train station and walk you through the basics — finding your platform, coach, and seat — so you're not left figuring things out on your own.

You’ll be on the Gatimaan Express, which leaves at 8:10 AM. It’s fast, comfortable, and gets you to Agra in under two hours — usually by 9:50 AM. From there, your day in Agra begins, with plenty of time to visit the Taj Mahal and other must-see spots.

After a full day of exploring, you'll catch the same train back — Gatimaan Express #12049 — which leaves at 5:45 PM. You'll be back in Delhi by around 7:30 in the evening, where your driver will be waiting to take you wherever you need to go.

When you get to Agra Cantonment station at 9:50 AM, your driver and guide will be right there waiting for you — they’ll have a sign with your name so you won’t miss them. From there, you’ll head straight to the Taj Mahal to start your day.

After visiting the Taj Mahal, you'll take a break for lunch at a 5-star hotel. It’s the perfect time to relax, enjoy some delicious food, and recharge before the rest of your day.

Next, you’ll visit Agra Fort, one of the most important historical places in India. This large red sandstone fort was once the home of the Mughal emperors before they moved the capital to Delhi in 1638. Inside, you’ll see beautiful palaces, open courtyards, and learn about many stories from the past. Also called Lal Qila or the Red Fort of Agra, it’s a great place to understand India’s rich history.

Next, you’ll visit the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah, also known as the "Baby Taj." This beautiful building is famous for its detailed carvings and pretty marble designs. People also call it the “jewel box.” It’s a quiet place with fewer visitors, perfect for enjoying the art and style of the Mughal time.

You’ll arrive back at Agra Cantonment railway station by 5:30 PM to board the Gatimaan Express, which leaves at 5:45 PM. This fast and comfortable train will take you to Delhi’s Nizamuddin Railway Station by 7:30 PM, making for a quick 1.5-hour trip to end your day.

Board the Gatimaan Express in Agra at 5:45 PM and reach Delhi’s Nizamuddin Station by 7:30 PM. Your driver will be waiting just outside your coach to escort you comfortably to your hotel, the airport, or any preferred destination in Delhi, Noida, or Gurugram.
