Upon arrival you will be met at the airport and drive straight to Agra through expressway.
Agra was the capital of the Mughal empire in the 16th and 17th centuries. The city began to grow in 1504 when the Sultan of Delhi, Sikander Lodhi moved his capital here to keep a check on the warring factions of his empire. Agra’s greatest days arrived during the reign of Akbar the Great (1556 – 1605), with the construction of the Agra fort.
Upon arrival in Agra, check in at the hotel.
Later in the morning you will be met by your tour guide who will explain the history and architecture of monuments, and the lives of the interesting people who built them.

Proceed to visit the Agra Fort and Taj Mahal
Agra Fort - Situated on the banks of the river Yamuna, the fort was built by the great Mughal visionary Emperor Akbar. His son Jahangir and grandson Shah Jehan added to this imposing structure during their rule. The palaces, mosque and audience halls contained within its massive wall of red sandstone are perfect examples of blending Islamic and Hindu traditions.
Taj Mahal – With its incredible lacy white grandeur the Taj Mahal is perhaps the most perfect architectural monument in the world. To the poet Tagore it was a ‘tear in the face of eternity’. In memory of his wife, Emperor Shah Jehan constructed this most extravagant and incomparable monument built for love.
