Highlights: Taj Mahal sunrise view, Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh, local markets, shopping tour
Wake up early to view the Taj Mahal at sunrise when the initial rays of the sun illuminate the white marble in pink and gold colors. A trained guide will accompany you sharing interesting information about Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved Mumtaz Mahal. Return to the hotel to indulge in a decadent breakfast buffet.
Then see the beautiful Agra Fort, a World Heritage monument built of red sandstone. Your guide will take you through Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Jahangir's Palace, and Musamman Burj—the tower in which Shah Jahan spent his last days looking out over the Taj Mahal.
In the afternoon, visit Mehtab Bagh, the Moonlight Garden, across the Yamuna River. It boasts one of the best panoramic sunset views of the Taj Mahal and is perfect for photography.
Afternoon, treat yourself to a high-end shopping tour at Agra's famous bazaars, where you are exposed to artists of Pietra Dura marble inlay work, hand-knotted carpets, Zardozi embroidery, and leather goods. You may also treat yourself to some good Indian street food in a clean, well-built setting.
