📅 Day-by-Day Itinerary
3:30 AM
Pre-dawn Hotel Pick-up
Your driver picks you up from your Delhi hotel in the dark. The pre-dawn drive to Agra
is quiet and peaceful — arrive as the sky begins to lighten over the Yamuna plains.
5:45 AM
Arrive at Taj Mahal East Gate
Arrive at the gate just before sunrise. Be among the very first visitors to enter. Walk
through the Great Gate as the Taj Mahal materializes from morning mist — pale pink, then peach, then
brilliant white.
6:00 AM
Sunrise at the Taj
Watch the monument transform as the sun rises. Your guide points out architectural
details, tells the love story, and helps you find the perfect photography positions — front reflecting pool,
minaret views, and the marble platform.
8:30 AM
Breakfast & Rest
Breakfast at a top Agra restaurant (included in our premium package or own cost in
standard). Rest and freshen up.
10:00 AM

Musamman Burj — the tower where Shah Jahan spent his final years gazing at the Taj.
1:30 PM
Lunch
Lunch at a recommended restaurant in Agra (own cost).
3:00 PM
