Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Taj Mahal is a world-renowned monument located in Agra, India, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Completed in 1653, this magnificent white marble mausoleum is a symbol of eternal love and a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, blending Persian, Islamic, and Indian styles. Set beside the Yamuna River, it features a grand dome, elegant minarets, intricate inlay work with semi-precious stones, and beautifully landscaped gardens. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal attracts millions of visitors each year with its timeless beauty and romantic legacy.

Stop 2

The Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Agra, just 2.5 km from the Taj Mahal. Built primarily by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century, it served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until Delhi became the capital. Made of striking red sandstone, the fort is a massive walled complex featuring palaces, mosques, audience halls, and courtyards. Notable structures inside include the Jahangiri Mahal, Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the Musamman Burj, where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb. The fort offers a fascinating glimpse into Mughal history and stunning views of the Taj Mahal from its balconies.

The Taj Mahal View Point, especially from Mehtab Bagh across the Yamuna River, offers a serene and stunning perspective of the monument, away from the crowds. Visitors enjoy an unobstructed rear view of the Taj Mahal, often reflected beautifully in the river during sunrise or sunset. Surrounded by peaceful Mughal gardens and scenic riverbanks, it’s an ideal spot for photography and quiet admiration of this world-famous icon.
