Description
Discover Agra’s living heritage beyond its monuments — explore artisan workshops, centuries-old crafts, and royal traditions, with stunning landmark views and authentic local charm
Step beyond the postcard view of Agra and discover its soul — a living gallery of artisans, craft traditions, and royal heritage. Travel from Delhi in comfort to a city once known as the creative capital of the Mughal Empire, where artistry and architecture flourished side by side.
Begin your day at Agra’s most admired landmark — a marble masterpiece admired across the world. From its serene reflection to its intricate carvings, your local guide will reveal stories of eternal love and unmatched craftsmanship. Continue to the grand red sandstone citadel that once housed emperors and artists alike, offering a glimpse into centuries of royal creativity.
Then, step into the heart of Agra’s artisan lanes. Watch masters of marble inlay recreate floral motifs with semi-precious stones, and experience the shimmering art of Zardozi embroidery — gold-thread work once reserved for royalty. Visit a hand-knotted carpet weaving studio, meet jewelry makers inspired by Mughal elegance, and engage with families who have preserved these traditions for generations.
Enjoy an authentic local lunch before heading back to Delhi, carrying not just memories of Agra’s iconic skyline but also a deep connection with the city’s enduring craftsmanship and artistry.
