  Taj Mahal

  Arrive in Agra and meet your Private Tour Guide, then visit the Taj Mahal, the most photographed monument in the world & the world's best-known tomb, which stands as a testament to the timeless love story of the 17th-century Fifth Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal—built using white marble. However, there is a degree of enigma about the Taj that once you hear about a building so much and once you see so many pictures of a building, your expectations are really high; and this is the enigma about the Taj Mahal.

  Agra Fort

  After Taj Mahal, visit Agra Fort, an architectural masterpiece & a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This huge fort, also known as Lal Qila(Red Fort) or Qila-i-Akbari, is a symbol of Agra, so it is often referred to as a walled city. Made of red sandstone was once the erstwhile residence of the Mughals. Within the premises of Agra Fort lie the most exquisite structures like the Pearl Mosque, Diwan-i I Khas, Diwan-i I Aam, Moti Masjid, and Jahangiri Mahal. The elegant buildings inside reflect an interesting synthesis of Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles. View of the Yamuna River and Taj Mahal from the fort's pavilions is mind-stirring.

  Itmad-ud-Daula

  After you have enjoyed your lunch, visit Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb (Baby Taj), which is considered to be the inspiration behind the Taj Mahal. For this fact, it is known as the “Baby Taj Mahal”. Despite the similarities, the tomb of Itimad-Ud-Daulah is considered a more delicate artwork than the Taj Mahal, with marble lattice screens and fine carvings. This was the first of many tombs to be erected on the banks of the River Yamuna. If you are visiting Agra, you ought to pay a visit to this unique construction, which stands as an icon of every marble monument that glorifies Agra.
