Description
Discover the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri on a day trip from Delhi. Enjoy a relaxing lunch at the 5-star Courtyard by Marriott in Agra.
Begin with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or the airport in Delhi. As you drive toward Agra, the busy city gives way to open roads and quieter surroundings, making the journey smooth and relaxed.
On reaching Agra, meet your local guide and head to the Taj Mahal. Walk through the entrance and watch as the monument appears gradually and naturally. Explore the gardens, admire the symmetry, and step inside the mausoleum to see the delicate marble work. Hear about the history in a simple and engaging way.
From there, continue to Agra Fort. Its red sandstone walls and spacious courtyards offer a different chapter of Mughal history. Move through the palaces and viewpoints at an easy pace, learning how the emperors lived and how the fort connects with the Taj across the river.
After the fort, enjoy a relaxing lunch at the 5-star Courtyard by Marriott. The calm ambiance and quality food give you a nice break before continuing your tour.
Post lunch, drive to Fatehpur Sikri. The approach to the old Mughal capital is smooth and the site feels peaceful, with open courtyards and beautifully carved buildings. Walk through places like Diwan-i-Aam, Jodha Bai’s Palace, Panch Mahal, and the Jama Masjid, learning about the purpose of each area and why the city was eventually abandoned.
With the sightseeing complete, begin the return journey to Delhi. The drive back is comfortable, giving you time to rest. By evening, your driver drops you at your hotel or the airport, wrapping up a smooth and well-planned day trip.
