Expand AllArrive to Delhi
On arrival in Delhi, you will be warmly welcomed by our Firante Treks representative at the international airport. After a smooth meet‑and‑greet, you will be transferred to your hotel in the city with comfortable AC transportation. Check‑in at the hotel marks the beginning of your India journey, giving you time to relax and settle in after your flight.
The evening is free at your leisure, allowing you to explore the nearby markets, enjoy a casual stroll, or simply unwind at the hotel. Dinner can be arranged on your own or as per your chosen package. Breakfast is included at the hotel, while other meals can be customized based on your preferences.
Delhi to Agra & Sunset Taj Mahal
After breakfast at the hotel, you will begin your journey from Delhi to Agra in a private AC vehicle. The distance from Delhi to Agra is approximately 200–240 km, depending on the route taken, with the most common and fastest route being via Yamuna Expressway.
The drive typically takes around 3 to 4 hours, depending on traffic and road conditions, with short refreshment stops en route so you can stretch your legs and enjoy the scenery.
On arrival in Agra, you will check‑in at your pre‑booked hotel and take some time to freshen up. In the late afternoon, you will head to the Taj Mahal for a sunset visit, when the marble glows in warm golden light and the crowds are relatively lighter. Your guide will walk you through the main mausoleum, gardens, and reflecting pool, sharing the story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal along the way. After the visit, you will return to the hotel for dinner and overnight stay in Agra.
Agra & Return to Delhi
The day starts early with a visit to the Taj Mahal at sunrise, offering the softest light and the most photogenic views of the monument. You will have time to explore the details of the inlay work, calligraphy, and symmetry under the guidance of your local expert. After returning to the hotel for breakfast, you will visit Agra Fort, a massive red‑sandstone fortress that once served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors.
In the afternoon, you can choose to explore local bazaars for souvenirs or take a short photo stop at a nearby viewpoint for a final look at the Taj Mahal. After lunch, you will board your private AC vehicle for the return journey to Delhi, again covering the same 200–240 km road distance.
The drive back to Delhi usually takes another 3 to 4 hours, depending on traffic. On arrival in Delhi, you will be dropped off at your hotel, airport, or railway station as per your schedule, marking the end of your 3‑day Taj Mahal tour with Firante Treks & Expeditions.
