Agra is one of the most visited cities in India and an important stop on the Golden Triangle Tour (Delhi–Agra–Jaipur). Located on the banks of the Yamuna River, the city is famous for its Mughal architecture, bustling bazaars and the famous sweet dish Agra Petha. From luxury hotels to budget stays, Agra offers a wide range of accommodations and is ideal for a same day tour from Jaipur or Delhi.

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is an immense white marble mausoleum built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Completed in the 17th century, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located on the south bank of the Yamuna River, the monument looks especially magical during sunrise and sunset. Many of our guests prefer a sunrise Taj Mahal visit from Jaipur by private car.

Agra Fort

Agra Fort, also known as the “Red Fort of Agra”, is a massive walled city built in red sandstone. It served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors before the capital shifted to Delhi. With its palaces, courtyards and mosques, Agra Fort represents the power and grandeur of the Mughal Empire and is another UNESCO World Heritage Site that you must not miss.

Mehtab Bagh

Mehtab Bagh is a beautiful garden complex located across the river, directly opposite the Taj Mahal. It offers one of the best panoramic views of the Taj, especially during sunset. Originally built as a charbagh (four-quartered garden), it is a peaceful spot to relax and photograph the Taj without crowds.
