Day 1: Dawn of Majesty: Taj Mahal & Local Vibes

Begin your journey with a visit to the Itimad-ud-Daulah, known as the Baby Taj, famous for its delicate inlay work. Enjoy a lunch of royal Mughlai dishes in a heritage haveli, an 1800s mansion.

Capture iconic riverside views of the Taj Mahal at Mehtab Bagh during sunset. Stroll through the Taj Ganj Market, sampling petha sweets, browsing handicrafts, and meeting local marble inlay artisans. Share tea with an artisan whose craft has been passed down for generations.

Day 2: Power, Piety & Old City Charms

Uncover the grandeur of Jahangir Palace and Musamman Burj at Agra Fort, where Shah Jahan spent his final years gazing at his beloved Taj. Stroll through the geometric Mughal gardens of Anguri Bagh, adorned with marble pathways.

Feel Agra’s spiritual heartbeat at the 17th-century Jama Masjid. Snack on spicy chaat and hunt for handcrafted marble, leather shoes, and jewelry in the 300-year-old Kinari Bazaar. Marvel at rare Persian-style tiles and tranquil Yamuna River views at Chini Ka Rauza. Join locals for evening prayers at the centuries-old Mankameshwar Temple. Talk with a petha maker about how their family has been perfecting this sweet for decades.

Day 3: Abandoned Empires & Ethical Encounters

Journey to Akbar’s abandoned capital, Fatehpur Sikri. Visit Buland Darwaza, Jodha Bai’s Palace, and Salim Chishti’s Tomb. Enjoy a rustic Rajasthani thali at a local dhaba en route back to Agra.

Marvel at the stunning blend of Hindu, Islamic, and Christian architecture at Akbar’s Tomb in Sikandra.
