Full-day Quintessential Agra

Witness the beauty of Taj Mahal during sunrise. The monument was built as a mausoleum by Shah Jahan in the memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It was described as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage" by UNESCO in 1983. The ivory-white marble tomb surrounded by picturesque gardens attracts millions of visitors all year round. Return to your hotel for breakfast and later, set out to explore some more beautiful sights. Agra Fort is a magnificent 16th century fortress and remains as one of the finest Mughal forts in India. There are several mosques, public halls used for audiences, the elaborate Mirror Palace, and a white marble tower where Shah Jahan’s son imprisoned him for eight years until his death. Take a stroll through Kachpura village. Locals, trained as guides lead you around and in conversations with them you get the opportunity of discovering authentic insights into life in this rural setting. The walk ends at Mehtab Bagh, from where there are majestic views across the river to the Taj Mahal.
