Embark on an unforgettable journey from Delhi to Agra on the Gatiman Express and step back into the 17th century to witness the timeless beauty of the Taj Mahal. This 12-hour day trip will immerse you in the rich history and stunning architecture of Agra, offering a perfect blend of romance and adventure.
Our adventure begins as we board the Gatiman Express from Delhi, whisking us away to Agra in comfort and style. Upon arrival, we'll visit the iconic Taj Mahal, the most extravagant monument ever built for love. Marvel at its pristine white marble and intricate carvings as you learn about the history and passion that inspired its creation.
After exploring the Taj Mahal, we’ll take a serene boat ride on the Yamuna River, offering a unique perspective of the monument from its backside. Capture breathtaking photos as the Taj Mahal reflects beautifully on the water, creating memories to last a lifetime.
Next, we’ll venture to the majestic Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site that stands proudly on the banks of the Yamuna River. Built by the Mughals, this rusty red-sandstone fortress boasts impressive architecture and rich history, providing a fascinating glimpse into India's past.
Our day concludes with a scenic train ride back to Delhi, arriving in the evening. This tour is perfect for those seeking to experience the splendor of Agra's most famous landmarks in a single day, combining history, culture, and breathtaking views.
