Luxury Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi

Upon your arrival in Agra, you will meet your expert tour guide and embark on a journey to see one of the wonders of the world - the Taj Mahal. Your knowledgeable guide will also help capture stunning photographs of this magnificent monument for you to cherish forever.

The Taj Mahal is an architectural masterpiece that has captivated the world with its grandeur and beauty. Commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this stunning white marble monument stands as a symbol of eternal love. It holds great cultural significance for India and has rightfully earned its place among the seven wonders of the world. Let's delve into the rich history and fascinating details surrounding this iconic structure.

Continuing your luxury Agra tour, the next stop is the magnificent Agra Fort, also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This grand fortress holds great historical significance and boasts stunning architecture that will leave you in awe. Agra Fort holds great historical significance as it served as a prominent hub of the Mughal Empire since Babur's conquest and defeat of Ibrahim Lodhi at Panipat in 1526. Emperor Akbar recognized its strategic location on the banks of Yamuna River and established it as his capital, constructing a formidable fortress within its walls.

After exploring both iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites, enjoy a luxurious lunch at a 5-star hotel. You’ll have a selection of dishes to choose from, ensuring a delightful and satisfying meal. Following lunch, continue your journey with a visit to Mehtab Bagh, where you can enjoy stunning views of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River.

Next, we will visit the Itimad-ud-Daulah Tomb, also known as the Baby Taj, an architectural gem that predates the Taj Mahal. Often considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal, this beautiful monument is renowned for its intricate marble inlay work and serene surroundings. If time permits, you may also have the opportunity to purchase a souvenir as a memento of your unforgettable Agra experience.

A visit to Mehtab Bagh offers a stunning view of the Taj Mahal from across the Yamuna River, especially during sunset. This serene garden, located on the Taj Mahal’s backside, is one of the best spots to capture the monument in the soft light of the evening. Originally built 350 years ago as a moonlight garden, Mehtab Bagh was designed with shaded pavilions, aromatic flowers, fountains, and reflecting pools. Though the garden faded over time, its historical charm and breathtaking views still make it a must-see location for photography enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful end to their day.

As the day concludes, your luxury Taj Mahal tour comes to an end. After enjoying the sunset views from Mehtab Bagh, your driver will take you back to Delhi, dropping you off at your desired destination. This tour offers a comprehensive and unforgettable experience of Agra, leaving you with lasting memories of its iconic landmarks.
