Early morning, visit to one of the Seven Wonders of the World – The Taj Mahal at sunrise and seek out several views of the exterior, and then tour the inner chambers. Later back to hotel for breakfast. After breakfast, contrast the ethereal Taj with the imposing Agra Fort, an immense fortified palace that was a seat of Mughal power. Some of its battlements are more than 60 feet tall. Next visit to Marble factory and see the demonstration on Marble inlay work. Later proceed to Delhi and upon arrival, transfer the guest at their hotel or airport/railway station to board the flight/train for onward journey and tour terminates here but sweet memories remain for forever…
Note: Taj Mahal remains closed on every Friday.
It’s a good short weekend trip to Agra & Mathura while you are free in Delhi for few days. I will recommend to my other friends. Thanks Team Ashoka!
