Pick up from Delhi and proceed to Agra, overnight at Agra
After breakfast Proceed to visit to the world - famous Taj Mahal - or literally "Crown of Palaces" was built by Shah Jehan to immortalize the memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal who died tragically in 1631. After that visit, the Red Fort built by three generations of Mughal Emperors between 1565 and 1573. It housed both the presidential Palaces of the Royal family, and the military quarters. Itmad-ud-Daulah It is believed that the glorious Taj Mahal was also probably inspired from another monument in Agra called the Itmad-ud-Daulah. And so this Mughal mausoleum is also called the ‘Baby Taj’. This beautiful tomb definitely calls for a visit. The tomb, built between 1622 and 1628 has walls made of white marble from Rajasthan, encrusted with semi-precious stone decorations. Sikandra The ‘Tomb of Akbar the Great’- Sikandra is unique in its beauty as the monument constructed in deep red stone stands out serenely against the lush green gardens.
