Stop 1: Taj Mahal – The Crown Jewel

Stop 2: Red Sandstone Agra Fort Wonder
Description: Just a few minutes' drive from the Taj Mahal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an essence of the Mughal war architecture in the form of the Red Sandstone, constructed in Agra Fort. Being largely constructed during the reign of the Emperor Akbar and adding to that Shah Jahan's extension, the fort complex houses a myriad of palaces, a council mosque, and courts. Among the biggest structures here are Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, and Musamman Burj, where Shah Jahan died gazing towards the Taj Mahal.
Optional Stop: Mehtab Bagh (Depending on time)
Description: On the exactly opposite Yamuna River bank of the Taj Mahal, is the stunning view-garden named Mehtab Bagh particularly for the hours around sunrise and sunset. Garden complex offers sufficient scope for relaxation on foot as well as for photography.
Stop 3: Handicraft Workshop or Visit to Local Market
Description: Complete the tour by taking a visit to some of Agra's handicraft factory shops and marble inlay. The shops give one an idea of the traditional art forms that have been influenced by the Taj Mahal itself. Tourists can see artisans working on marble inlay, leather products, jewelry, or carpets — perfect for gift or souvenir shopping.
