Detailed Itinerary – Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour

2:30 AM – Pickup from Your Delhi Hotel

Yes, it’s early. But don’t worry—the driver arrives on time in a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned car. You can nap during the 3-4 hour drive from Delhi to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway.

5:45 AM – Arrive in Agra and Meet Your Guide

Upon reaching Agra, you’ll be greeted by your friendly, English-speaking guide who knows every stone and story of the Taj Mahal.

6:00 AM – Witness the Taj Mahal at Sunrise

This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. As the gates open, you’ll enter the grounds and approach the Taj Mahal as it awakens in the early morning light. Watch as the marble shifts in color—from pale pink to shimmering white—with the rising sun.

Your guide will share the history of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, the architectural marvels, and the symbolism behind every detail.

8:00 AM – Breakfast at a Local Restaurant

After the sunrise experience, enjoy a delicious Indian or continental breakfast at a handpicked restaurant. Sip on chai or coffee while reliving the magic you just witnessed.

9:00 AM – Explore Agra Fort

Your next stop is the grand Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in red sandstone. Walk through palaces, gardens, and courtyards while your guide explains the rich Mughal history and how it connects to the Taj Mahal.

10:30 AM – Visit Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj) [Optional]

If time permits, your tour may include the exquisite Baby Taj, often considered a draft of the Taj Mahal. It’s quieter, equally stunning, and filled with intricate inlay work.

11:30 AM – Local Market Visit or Leisure Time

Want to take home a piece of Agra? Visit a local handicraft shop where artisans create marble inlay work, leather goods, and more. Or simply relax before the drive back.

Leave Agra behind and settle in for your return trip. The drive takes about 3–4 hours. You’ll be dropped at your hotel, airport, or another location of your choice in Delhi by late afternoon.
