Why Take the Train to the Taj Mahal?

Trains are often the fastest and most scenic way to travel in India. The Gatimaan Express, India’s fastest train, takes just 90 minutes to reach Agra from Delhi. It’s clean, air-conditioned, and includes onboard meals, making it a stress-free and pleasant experience.

And with Discover The Taj Company, everything — from tickets to transport and guided tours — is seamlessly arranged for you.

Early Morning Departure from Delhi

The tour begins with a pickup from your hotel in Delhi around 6:30 AM, followed by a drop at Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station. Your tour assistant will hand over your pre-booked train tickets and help you board the Gatimaan Express, which departs at 8:10 AM sharp.

During your journey, you’ll be served a fresh breakfast onboard, and in less than two hours, you’ll arrive in Agra Cantt Railway Station, where a local guide and private car will be waiting for you.

First Stop: The Taj Mahal

After arriving in Agra, the highlight of the day begins — your visit to the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Your expert guide will walk you through the history of this architectural marvel built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Learn about the intricate marble work, symmetry, and the deep emotions embedded in every corner of the monument.

And don’t forget to capture that perfect photo from the famous Diana Bench!

Next Up: Agra Fort

After the Taj Mahal, your journey continues to the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This red sandstone fortress was the seat of the Mughal Empire and offers incredible views of the Taj from afar. You’ll explore palaces, mosques, audience halls, and pavilions that give a peek into royal Mughal life.

Delicious Lunch Break

Once sightseeing is halfway through, enjoy a mouthwatering lunch at a multi-cuisine restaurant in Agra — either a luxurious 5-star hotel or a clean, popular local spot (based on your chosen package). Discover The Taj Company ensures top hygiene and taste.

Optional Visits and Shopping

Depending on your interests and timing, you may also visit:

• Mehtab Bagh: A serene garden behind the Taj offering amazing views.

• Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb: Often called the “Baby Taj” for its elegance.

• Local Handicraft Markets: Agra is famous for marble inlay work, leather goods, and jewelry. Your guide can help you find authentic shops if you're interested.

Evening Train Back to Delhi
