Uttar Pradesh
Agra Tour
A day trip to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Akbar’s Tomb at Sikandra on the way.
- Often done as a day trip from Mathura
- Cab, SUV or tempo traveller
Overview
Agra is close enough to Mathura for a comfortable day trip, which is why many visitors to Braj add the Taj Mahal to their plans. The drive passes Sikandra, where Akbar’s Tomb makes a good first stop.
We can plan the day so you reach the Taj Mahal early, see Agra Fort afterwards and, if time allows, finish at Mehtab Bagh for a view of the Taj across the Yamuna.
Places commonly included
