Why go
The Taj Mahal, plus a fort most visitors skip and shouldn't.
The Taj at sunrise is a genuinely different experience from the midday crowd. Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri justify staying a night rather than day-tripping.
Signature experiences
- Taj Mahal at sunrise
- Agra Fort
- Mehtab Bagh at sunset
