Spend the remainder of the evening at leisure, enjoying the comforts of your luxury accommodation before overnight stay in Agra.

An early morning visit to the Taj Mahal marks one of the defining moments of your Classic Golden Triangle Tour. As the first rays of sunlight gently illuminate the white marble façade, the monument reveals changing shades that have fascinated travellers for centuries. Accompanied by your private guide, walk through the grand entrance, beautifully landscaped Mughal gardens and reflecting pools before reaching the mausoleum itself. Learn about Emperor Shah Jahan's vision, the remarkable craftsmanship of thousands of artisans and the intricate marble inlay work that makes the Taj Mahal one of the world's greatest architectural achievements.
