Your journey begins in Delhi, the capital city of India. Upon arrival at Delhi’s international airport (usually early morning or midnight), our tour representative will greet you and transfer you to your pre-booked hotel. After checking in, take some time to relax and refresh after your flight.
Delhi is one of the oldest cities in the world, offering a fascinating mix of ancient history and modern development. In the afternoon, embark on a guided tour of New Delhi. Drive past iconic landmarks such as Rashtrapati Bhavan (the official residence of the President of India), India Gate (a war memorial dedicated to Indian soldiers), and Humayun’s Tomb (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Spend some leisure time at the lush gardens surrounding India Gate before returning to your hotel for an overnight stay.
After breakfast, check out from your hotel and begin your journey to Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal. En route, you can explore more of Delhi’s highlights if time permits. Agra is approximately a 3-4 hour drive from Delhi.
Upon arrival in Agra, check into your hotel and freshen up. In the afternoon, visit the world-famous Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Marvel at its stunning white marble architecture and the love story behind its creation. Next, explore the majestic Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, which served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. End your day with a visit to the Baby Taj (Itimad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb), often referred to as the "jewel box" for its intricate marble inlay work. Overnight stay in Agra.
