1-Day Trip to Agra visit: Taj Mahal, Agra Fort & Mehtab Bagh from Delhi

Summary

Depart your Delhi hotel or Delhi airport early by private, climate-controlled vehicle, and make the journey to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway. On arrival, head to the UNESCO-listed Taj Mahal, the 17th-century mausoleum built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Stroll around the gardens and terraces to marvel at this shimmering vision of white-marble domes and pillars—the world’s greatest testament to love. Next, continue to UNESCO-protected Agra Fort, a red-sandstone fortress dating from 1565. Explore its pavilions and courtyards, noting their Hindu and Asian architectural styles. Enjoy a buffet lunch at a quality local restaurant (if option selected), visit Mehtab Bagh, a green park across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal. These gardens are believed to have been created by Shah Jahan to view the Taj on moonlit nights, far from disturbances. Stroll to a viewpoint that perfectly frames the mausoleum and capture photos of the sublime setting and the Taj's reflection glittering in the river. Finally, enjoy shopping time at Agra’s bazaars. Scout out some of the city’s famous inlaid marble, embroidery, leatherware, or other handicrafts before returning to Delhi and ending your trip with a hotel or airport drop-off.
