10:00 AM - Arrive Taj Mahal 

Head to the Taj Mahal for a magical experience. Your guide will tell you stories of love, history, and the incredible architecture that makes the Taj Mahal a wonder.

The Taj Mahal, an iconic monument located in Agra, India, was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. Construction began in 1632 and was completed in 1653. The purpose behind building the Taj Mahal was to serve as a mausoleum for Shah Jahan's beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died during childbirth in 1631.

The construction involved thousands of skilled artisans, laborers, and craftsmen who dedicated their efforts to bring Shah Jahan's vision to life. The Taj Mahal stands as a testament to the Mughal architectural prowess and the enduring love between Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.

12:00 PM - Explore Agra Fort 

As the morning unfolds, explore the Agra Fort – a colossal fortress with tales of mighty emperors. The primary purpose behind building the Agra Fort was strategic. Situated on the banks of the Yamuna River, the fort provided a strong defense against invasions.
