No trip to India is complete without a stop at the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra. Agra is about 4 hours from Delhi and maybe only 3.5 if you go in the middle of the night to reach there by sunrise. It’s a short distance and it is more than possible to go there for a “day trip” if that’s what you prefer.

You will be picked up at your hotel in Agra at 3:30 pm and proceed to the Agra Fort Army Gate. The tour then proceeds to Ambedkar Park. The next stop is the Agra Fort Railway station. Built in true British style, this station carries about 90,000 passengers each day.
Next stop at Chimman Lal Poori Wala, a 185-year old local sweet shop where guests can not only see various sweets being made but also sample them. Hitting the road again, the tour explores a local wholesale market where the guide explains the various wares on sale on how Indian markets are so much different from organized retail in most western countries.
Monkeys greet the way to the next attraction Mankameshwar Mandir, a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. You are welcome to enter the temple and see devotees going about prayer regimes.
Next, your tour will take you to the Rawatpara Spice market. Bound to sneeze a few times as the aroma fills the air, you can witness heaps of red chilies and pots of Indian pickles. The tour then proceeds through a cycle rickshaw ride, the most popular means of transport in India. The ride ends at the banks of the river Yamuna and you will then head to the backside of the Taj Mahal in a car, from where you will be able to take sunset Photo of Taj Mahal.
