Let yourself be amazed by India’s iconic monument on a taj mahal day trip from delhi by train. The day tour is specifically meant for those looking to witness the majesty of the Taj Mahal and Agra’s heritage in one combined, well-planned tour.
The tour transfers you from Delhi to the Agra superfast express train route, a comfortable and swift ride. Private air-conditioned car pick-up, guided tour, and skip-the-line ticket turn the tour into one of India’s most convenient and hassle-free tours to observe the Mughal grandeur of the country.
Ideal for vacationing families, businesspeople, and working couples, the tour offers the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daula (Baby Taj), and Mehtab Bagh.
The optimal time for the Taj Mahal day trip from Delhi by train is between October and March, when the climate is just fantastic for exploring tourist spots. The weather is transparent during these months, which also provides a fantastic view of the Taj Mahal, either early morning or at midday.
The best time to visit is April to September, when they can go without too many tourists, the best season, and off-season low rates, though it is safe enough to bring sunshine protection and light cottons during the mid-months.

Wake up to an early morning pickup from your preferred hotel or your preferred destination in Delhi, Noida, or Gurugram. You would be taken to the Delhi Railway Station, and your guide would help you get the board formalities completed.
Your train from Agra leaves at about 8:10 AM in an air-conditioned compartment for a highly comfortable ride. Train breakfast, and you relax and watch the rolling fields roll by while you motor the length along the middle of India.
You will be reaching Agra Cantt Railway Station at 9:50 AM, and there your local guide and expert driver will greet you. Here begins your private sightseeing tour.
Your number one and most long-awaited attraction is the Taj Mahal, an old favorite. Commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his beautiful wife Mumtaz Mahal, the structure is a marvel of white marble and exquisite inlay work.
With your private guide, you’ll learn the fascinating history behind its construction, the stories of the artisans, and the cultural significance of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Spend time soaking in its serene beauty and taking photographs from the best vantage points.

Then to the Itmad-ud-Daula, or "Baby Taj." The beautiful mausoleum was an architectural prelude to the Taj Mahal proper. Its beautifully carved latticework and shiny marble finish do the early Mughal craftsmen justice.
(Admission ticket not included)
Your tour proceeds to the Agra Fort, a red sandstone fort and the second World Heritage site. It was a central imperial palace of the Mughal emperors, a glimpse of India's imperial past, with castles, halls of public and private audience, and mosques.
Tour Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) and Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience) and enjoy breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal from its battlements.
(Admission ticket not included)
And then, after all the touring, reward yourself with a wonderful buffet lunch at an excellent locally suggested restaurant in Agra. Treat yourself to the real North Indian and Mughlai food, the best remedy for your culture-spying day.
Take a walk along the Yamuna River towards the Mehtab Bagh, Moonlight Garden, and enjoy the view of the Taj Mahal. It is a stunning view of the monument, particularly the late evening sunset. It is also a chance for a photo shoot done in privacy from the tourist crowd.
(Admission ticket not included)
If time allows, walk through the handicraft bazaars of Agra on the way back. The city is renowned for traditional marble inlay crafts, leather items, jewelry, and souvenirs honoring Mughal artistry. Your guide can suggest safe and sound shops to make genuine purchases.
The evening will also witness your return to Agra Cantt Station by your driver to board your express train to Delhi at 5:35 PM: dinner/light refreshments en route.
Reach Delhi by 7:30 PM and get dropped back and picked up at your choice of location - hotel, airport, or wherever you may desire. With a lifetime memory and lovely photographs, your Taj Mahal day tour from Delhi by train reaches its end.
