Agra Short Trip 2 D

Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Depart from Delhi early this morning.

  Agra Fort
  Visit the imposing Agra Fort (a.k.a. Red Fort) the seat of the Mughal Empire during the reigns of 3 of the great Mughals – Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan.
  Itamad-ud-Daula
  Move on to the nearby Itamad-ud-Daula, the tomb of Mirza Ghias Beg – a senior noble in the Mughal court, father to Empress Nur Jehan, and grandfather to Arjumand Bano, the wife of Shah Jahan for whom the Taj Mahal was built.
  
  Taj Mahal
  
  After a lunch break and rest visit the Taj Mahal late in the afternoon. That way you will beat the afternoon heat and crowds, but have enough time to look around before settling down to gaze at the Taj in the evening glow.
  Spend the rest of the evening reliving the experience, if possible at a rooftop restaurant with a good view of the Taj

  • Hotspots Taj Mahal, Agra Fort
  • Themes Forts and Palaces, Heritage
• Day 2 : Sightseeing Agra

  Taj Mahal
  It is well worth the second early morning in a row to visit the Taj Mahal just as it opens around sunrise. The morning sun catches the Taj just so, and having seen the monument the previous evening, you can spend a leisurely hour just gazing at its beauty and composing that perfect photo.
  
  Fatehpur Sikri
  Drive to Fatehpur Sikri and visit the amazing 16th century palace complex with its various buildings, the purpose of many of which is not clearly understood (except by guides, who make stuff up!) Do not miss the Jama Mosque with the shrine of Salim Chishti and the gargantuan Buland Darwaza gate.
  
  Return to Agra in the afternoon, and spend some time shopping for art and artefacts. Visit the tomb of Akbar at Sikandra. In the evening you can make a visit to Mehtab Bagh for one final view of the Taj Mahal, this time from across the river.
