After spending ample time at the Taj Mahal and capturing those picture-perfect moments, the tour continues to Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage site. This grand red sandstone fortress once housed the Mughal emperors and offers panoramic views of the Taj from its balconies. With its intricate palaces, mosques, and audience halls, the fort tells stories of both opulence and strategy.

Following your historical explorations, enjoy a delicious lunch at a premium local restaurant, featuring authentic Mughlai cuisine. From flavorful curries to freshly baked naan, the culinary experience adds a tasteful touch to your day.

If time permits, your guide may also include a stop at the Mehtab Bagh—a serene garden across the Yamuna River, offering a stunning rear view of the Taj Mahal. It's a peaceful spot to reflect and take those final memorable photos.

By late afternoon, you’ll be escorted back to the Agra railway station to board the return train to Delhi. The Gatimaan Express departs around 5:50 PM, and you’ll be back in Delhi by 7:30 PM.
