Beschrijving
Discover Agra’s culture with hands-on craft workshops led by artisans, a Mughal food-tasting walk, and a rooftop experience featuring stunning Taj Mahal views.
Discover Agra beyond the typical tourist trail through a unique, immersive cultural experience designed to bring you closer to the city’s heritage and people.
Your experience begins with a guided marble inlay workshop, where you learn the ancient craftsmanship technique used to decorate the Taj Mahal. Under the guidance of a local artisan family whose ancestors worked on Mughal monuments, you will try your hand at shaping semi-precious stones and create your own small souvenir piece.
Next, walk to a nearby neighborhood for an authentic home visit with a local Agra family. Enjoy warm hospitality, traditional stories, and insights into daily life in Agra. Sip masala chai, learn how to tie a traditional turban or dupatta, and experience local customs firsthand.
Continue your journey with a curated Mughal food walk in the old lanes of Agra. Sample famous local dishes such as bedai kachori, petha, Mughal-style tikka, or vegetarian specialties (customized to your dietary needs). Learn about the origins of Mughal cuisine and traditional spice blends.
End your experience on a peaceful rooftop terrace overlooking the Taj Mahal from a distance — a perfect place to relax, snap photos, and soak in Agra’s charm without the crowds.
This is not a monument tour — it’s an authentic, behind-the-scenes cultural encounter showcasing art, food, people, and heritage.
