Taj at Sunset & Sunrise · Private Tour
Overnight Agra Tour from Delhi
Tour Overview
The Taj Mahal, twice over. This Overnight Agra Tour from Delhi gives you the rare luxury of time in the City of the Taj — a peaceful sunset view of the Taj Mahal from Mehtab Bagh on your first evening, and a proper visit to the monument at sunrise the next morning, when the marble glows pink and gold.
Between the two, you’ll explore the delicate Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), the mighty Agra Fort, the city’s famous marble-inlay artisans and its lively markets, with an expert English-speaking guide and a comfortable overnight stay. It’s the relaxed, unrushed way to experience Agra without racing back to Delhi the same day.

Day-by-Day Itinerary
Delhi to Agra — Baby Taj & a Taj sunset
Morning pickup from your Delhi hotel, airport or railway station, then a comfortable drive to Agra (about 3 hours) with a refreshment stop on the way. Check in to your centrally located hotel and enjoy lunch.
In the afternoon, visit the exquisite Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), then head to Mehtab Bagh on the far bank of the Yamuna for a beautiful sunset view of the Taj Mahal. Browse the local markets or relax at your hotel, followed by dinner.
Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort & return to Delhi
Begin early with the Taj Mahal at sunrise, the marble shifting through soft pinks and golds — a magical, less-crowded experience. Return to your hotel for breakfast and a rest.
Check out and explore the magnificent red-sandstone Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with time for lunch and a little more Agra sightseeing before your afternoon drive back to Delhi, arriving by evening.
