1. Taj Mahal

Rightfully considered as the most beautiful monument in the world, Taj Mahal is located in the historical city of Agra. Popularly known as the “symbol of love”, Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial for his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal who died while giving birth to their 14th child in 1631.

Every year millions of visitors from India and all over the world pass through the magnificent gates to catch a glimpse of this breathtaking monument, and almost none leave feeling disappointed or underwhelmed by the grandeur of this monument.

The Taj Mahal was constructed using white marble imported from Makrana in Rajasthan. Over 20,000 people from all over India and Central Asia worked on this grand building and it took almost 17 years to complete the construction of the Taj Mahal.

The construction was finally completed by 1653 AD. The tomb is laid out in a rectangular shape, and can be approached through a massive gateway which has an arch and alcoves on both sides of it.

Each of the corners of the mausoleum platform is graced with 40 meter high white minarets.  Within the Taj you will also find an inlay of thousands of semi-precious stones carved with flowers.

The four Taj features impressive vaulted arches containing pietra dura scrollwork and the quotations from the Quran. The whole structure is topped off by four small domes.

Taj Mahal is one of the most sought tourist places by the guests with our one day Agra tour from Delhi, which is so obviously majestic from the outside, has an equally breathtaking interior which is beautified by splendid art work done in the finest detailing. There are water channels and fountains at the entrance which magnifies the extravagance of the monument even more.

The best time to visit Taj Mahal is during the sunrise and sunset when the soft rays of sun complement the beauty of Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is also open for visits for all five nights around the full moon.

2. Agra Fort

The Next stop in our Agra day trip is at Lal Qila or also known as Red Fort of Agra. The Agra Fort is a massive fort located on the right bank of the river Yamuna in Agra. This grand fort is at a mere distance of 2.5 kilometers from the Taj Mahal.

Back in 1573 when the fort was constructed by the Mughal emperor Akbar, it first used to encompass an entire city within its walls, complete with political offices, living quarters and lively bazaars.

Agra Fort was the main residence of the Mughals till 1638, after which the capital was shifted from Agra to New Delhi. Agra Fort is one of the best-known monuments built by the Mughals and has intricately decorated buildings.

It is a magnificent blend of the Mughal style of art and architecture and is one of the most visited tourist spots in Agra. The Red Fort in Agra covers a vast area of three kilometers and is surrounded by a 70 feet tall wall. The walls are made of red sandstone and they completely surround the fort from all the directions.

The Fort has four main gates on its four sides. Built solely out of red sandstone, this expansive architecture looms over the beautiful city of Agra. Within the premises of the fort lie the most exquisitely built Pearl Mosque, Diwan-i I Khas, Diwan-i I Aam, Musamman Burj, Sheesh Mahal, Moti Masjid, Nagina Masjid and Jahangiri Mahal.

All of these age-old edifices have remarkable handiwork and ornamentation, which make this place a must visit for every history and architecture lover. You are also promised an exclusive, splendid view of Taj Mahal from the Agra Fort.

3. Mehtab Bagh

Mehtab Bagh was originally built by Emperor Babur as the last park in a series of eleven parks on the Yamuna’s east bank. This was long before the Taj was constructed.

The Garden eventually fell into a state of disrepair until it was little more than a huge mound of sand. The park was revived again to protect the Taj Mahal from the erosive effects of the sand blown across the river.

Mahtab Bagh is now fully functional and is now one the best places from where tourists get an excellent view of the great mausoleum. The gardens of the Taj Mahal are perfectly aligned with the ones at Mehtab Bagh, and the view of the Taj from the fountain directly in front of the entrance gate is a special one.

How to Get Around Agra

Getting from delhi to agra by train.

• Cost : from US$6 per seat with AC
• Time : from 1 hour 40 minutes to 4 hours

Travelling by train, you can appreciate the scenery along the railways and share stories with the locals.

Dozens of trains depart from Delhi to Agra between 04:25 and 23:40 every day. The fastest train takes only 1 hour 40 minutes and the slowest one takes 4 hours. It can be very convenient and swift to travel between these two cities by train.

In India, (slower) non-air-conditioned trains are not recommended as the conditions inside are less comfortable/pleasant. Among the various train choices from Delhi to Agra, you can enjoy the best facilities on a Gatimaan Express, Bhopal Shatabdi Express, or CSMT Rajdhani . They are fully air-conditioned trains with meals included. Vegetarian food is available as well.

The signs, directions, and train information inside Delhi station are not easy to understand . Thus, you might need some time to figure out your platform and train. You're advised to arrive at Delhi station at least one hour before departure especially if you're a first-timer.

If you're travelling during public holidays , book your train tickets as soon as they go on sale . Train tickets are available from 1 month to 4 months prior to the departure date. The huge demand for holiday tickets makes them sell out soon.

Booking tickets with a reliable agent is the most convenient way . Most foreign visitors get stuck on registering and payment for online bookings at IRCTC — India's official train ticketing website. Buying tickets on the spot is time-consuming and you are not guaranteed a ticket if they are in short supply.

Travelling with us , we can take care of your train tickets along with other aspects of your tour. For as much of a worry-free booking as possible, You enjoy 100% refund of any payments made to China Highlights prior to 3 weeks before departure ( detail⇒ ).

For a shorter train journey , like Delhi to Agra, you will arrive as scheduled most of the time . However, delays might happen on foggy or rainy days. Get more ideas about planning your India trip >>>

Enjoy a Private Transfer from Delhi to Agra

• Cost : from US$70 per person
• Time : from 3 hours

If you would like the most flexibility and least travel hassles, a private transfer is the best choice , taking 3 to 4 hours. Whether a private transfer arranged by a travel agent or a cab hired by yourself, they can meet you where you like in Delhi and transfer you to anywhere in Agra.

A single journey from Delhi to Agra will cost about US$70 per person. It is quite a bit higher than train and bus tickets. But, bear in mind you still have to get between your hotel and train/bus stations in both Delhi and Agra, which will probably add some taxi costs.

Most travelers who have tried to use OLA (Indian Uber) for a cab have given up, due to communication problems with the driver , because few drivers speak English well and most have heavy accents . What's more, if your driver is not experienced , a 3-hour drive could turn out to be a 6-hour journey! For a similar price, but much safer and more worry-free, contact us for a private transfer. We also have the best suggestions about How Long to Spend in India (for First Timers): from 5 Days to 1 Month >>>

Taking a Bus from Delhi to Agra

• Cost : from US$5 per seat with AC
• Time : from 3½ hours

A bus is the most cost-effective option to take you from Delhi to Agra . If you take a bus, it takes about 3½–6 hours depending on your bus. Tip: Double-check the location of the departure and arrival stations, because some of them are around 30 minutes from downtown Delhi/Agra.

You can buy tickets on the spot or online, through an agency, or even at your hotel. You're suggested to book an air-conditioned bus for a better experience . The price of a sleeper ticket is almost triple that for a seat.

In India, the signs for the buses are usually in Hindi and the driver might only speak Hindi too. You might have some difficulty in finding your bus and getting off at the correct stop . Punctuality is another issue , since they might wait for all seats to be occupied before departing. Besides, not all buses use the expressway, and detours often happen . Thus, taking a bus is more suggested for seasoned travelers or people with plenty of time.

After arriving in Agra, you can get around the city by private car, cab, or auto-rickshaw. If you prefer comfort and safety , contact us for a private transfer or take an A/C cab . Auto-rickshaws are the cheapest choice.

If you are taking a one-day round trip from Delhi to Agra, private transport is the best way to save time . You're suggested to visit Agra Fort first, then Itmad-ud-Daula (the Baby Taj), and appreciate the Taj Mahal at sunset before returning to Delhi. Contact us for a hassle-free day tour from/to Agra.

How to Travel from Delhi to Agra by Train, Bus, and Car

On the banks of the Yamuna River and 130 miles south of New Delhi sits Agra , a city known for its architectural marvels and Mughal history. It's one of the stops on India's tourist circuit known as the "Golden Triangle"—along with the neighboring cities Delhi and Jaipur—and while it has a number of incredible sites worth visiting, most tourists are here for one reason: the Taj Mahal . This celebrated mausoleum is recognized around the globe and has been deemed one of the Seven New Wonders of the World and called "the jewel of Muslim art in India" by UNESCO.

Transportation around India may seem daunting, but an excellent rail service with a reserved ticketing system makes it easy. The train is fast enough that if you plan out your roundtrip ticket, you could visit Agra for a day and be back in New Delhi by the evening. Buses are the cheapest option, but the trip takes significantly longer and the price difference is minimal. Travelers looking for the most hassle-free option can hire a private car or taxi, which can take anywhere from three to five hours depending on traffic.

How to Get from Delhi to Agra

• Train: 2 hours, from $5
• Bus: 4 hours, from $5
• Car: 3 hours, 132 miles (213 kilometers)

The most popular way of getting from Delhi to Agra is by train. It's possible to visit the Taj Mahal in a day from Delhi if you catch the right trains, the fastest of which get you from city to city in two hours. The main railway station in Delhi is New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS), near Paharganj , although some trains to Agra also depart Delhi from Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station (NZM), which is about 20 minutes south of NDLS. The main railway station in Agra is Agra Cantonment (AGC), which is about a 20-minute drive from the Taj Mahal. Upon exiting the train station, use one of the prepaid taxi or rickshaw booths to pay a set price for the trip.

While the train ride itself is comfortable and quick, the process of buying your train tickets isn't always so easy. You can buy tickets on the official website for  Indian Railways , but it requires signing up for an account and paying a small registration fee. Other travel websites are more user-friendly— such as Cleartrip.com , Makemytrip.com , and  Yatra.com —but don't always show all available trains and they charge a commission fee.

Tickets can also be purchased in person at the International Tourist Bureau at the New Delhi Railway Station. It's located upstairs in the main building (Paharganj side) and is open 24 hours. Don't believe anyone who tells you that it has moved or is closed because they are trying to scam you . If you are already in Delhi and need tickets, visiting the International Tourist Bureau may be the simplest method for making your train reservation. However, Indian Railways carries millions of passengers every day and trains often book up, so get your tickets in advance if possible.

There are several trains throughout the day from Delhi to Agra, but some of the most popular ones for Taj Mahal visitors are:

• The fastest morning train from Delhi to Agra is the non-stop 12050 Gatimaan Express . It travels at a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour, and takes approximately 100 minutes to reach Agra. The train departs Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station at 8:10 a.m. and arrives in Agra at 9:50 a.m. The fare in 1AC executive class (first class, seated, air-conditioned) is 1,495 rupees, or about $20, while CC (chair car, seated, air-conditioned) costs 750–1,000 rupees, or $10–$14, with the fare based on dynamic pricing according to demand. The train runs daily except Friday (when the Taj Mahal is closed). There is on-board catering, with both Indian and Continental cuisine served. Its cleanliness, food, and ticket availability are all excellent. Plus, it's a punctual train with minimal delays.
• If you want to get an early start, the best option is the 12002 New Delhi Habibganj Shatabdi Express . This train has one stop. It departs New Delhi Railway Station at 6 a.m. and arrives at Agra at 7:57 a.m. The train runs every day. Its ticket availability and punctuality are excellent, and cleanliness is good.
• The 12280 Taj Express Superfast from New Delhi Railway Station to Agra is also popular (and it stops at Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, too) but the trip takes nearly three hours. It departs at 6:45 a.m. and arrives in Agra at 9:32 a.m. The train has four stops and runs every day. It has excellent ticket availability. Punctuality and cleanliness are good, but there's no pantry or onboard restaurant.
• Alternatively, try the 22416 Andhra Pradesh AC Super Fast Express if you'd prefer sleeper accommodations. This train departs from New Delhi Railway Station at 6:25 a.m. and arrives at Agra at 9:10 a.m. It's fully air-conditioned, runs daily, and doesn't have any stops. However, delays are sometimes an issue.

If you're looking for the cheapest way to get from Delhi to Agra, the bus is your best option. The company RedBus shows you itineraries for all of the different bus companies and lets you purchase tickets directly from their website. Standard buses can be overcrowded, overheated, and stop at multiple cities along the route, so look for buses that say "Deluxe" or explicitly list air-conditioning as an included amenity.

Even though the bus is the most affordable option, the price difference between the bus and train is minimal, and the speed and comfort of the train are worth paying a few dollars more. However, if you need last-minute tickets and the trains are fully reserved, then the bus is a reliable backup option.

Driving your own vehicle from Delhi to Agra is only for those with ample experience driving in India. If you aren't familiar with India's driving laws—or drivers' tendencies to disregard those laws—then driving your own vehicle is the most stressful and unsafe option for travel. However, if the train or bus is too much of a hassle, hiring a private car or taxi is the easiest option for getting to the Taj Mahal. Prices start at about $40 for a one-way trip in a sedan and get more expensive for larger vehicles. The drive normally takes about three hours, but traffic around Delhi is notoriously hectic and the actual trip may be much longer. The best method for finding a car is to ask at your hotel or accommodations. Not only will the driver pick you up directly from the hotel, but they can also arrange all of the travel details so you don't have to worry.

What to See in Agra

The main attraction in Agra is, without a doubt, the Taj Mahal . Many tourists go from the train station to the Taj Mahal and then directly back to the train, without seeing any of the other historical sites that Agra has to offer. If you have the time, don't miss out on the other UNESCO World Heritage sites also located nearby. The Agra Fort is a walled city that was home to the Mughal emperors of the 17th century, when Agra was still the capital of their vast empire. The town of Fatehpur Sikr i is just outside of Agra and offers the same majesty as the Taj Mahal but with a fraction of the tourists. Read on to find out more about the top places to visit in and around Agra .

When to Visit

Like many parts of Northern India, the best time of year to visit Agra is between October and February, avoiding the scorching heat of summer and the monsoon rains. Regardless of the time of year, make sure your trip to Agra doesn't fall on a Friday when the Taj Mahal is closed for religious reasons.

A Word of Warning: Dangers and Annoyances

When arriving at Agra station, be prepared to be accosted by beggars and touts. Touts operate in sophisticated gangs that have counterparts in other cities who identify potential targets at railway stations. At Agra, the touts commonly claim to be guides or taxi drivers and use ploys such as free taxi rides or the promise of heavy discounts. There are 24-hour official prepaid auto- rickshaw and taxi booths just outside the Agra railway station; always use these to avoid any potential problems with a would-be scammer.

You can take a train from New Delhi Railway Station to Agra, which takes about two hours. The quickest option is the non-stop 12050 Gatimaan Express, which travels at 99 miles per hour.

The bus is the cheapest option to travel between Delhi and Agra, but not the fastest. You can see itineraries and buy tickets from RedBus .

Delhi is located 140 miles (225 kilometers) northwest of Agra.

Exploring India’s Golden Triangle – Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur

Posted: March 25, 2024 | Last updated: March 25, 2024

The Golden Triangle, encompassing Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, offers an incredible journey through India’s rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking architecture. This iconic route explores the heart of India, providing a glimpse into the country’s royal past, colonial history, and architectural wonders. The journey through these three cities is akin to a passage through time, where each destination boasts its unique magic, from ancient forts and palaces to bustling bazaars and serene temples.

1. Delhi – The Capital’s Contrast

Delhi, India’s capital, is where ancient history and modernity blend seamlessly. The city is divided into two parts: Old Delhi, a labyrinth of narrow lanes, age-old mosques, and bustling markets; and New Delhi, the imperial city created by the British Raj, characterized by wide boulevards, stately government buildings, and verdant gardens.

2. Agra – The City of Love

Agra is synonymous with the Taj Mahal, an eternal symbol of love. This UNESCO World Heritage site, built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, attracts millions of visitors annually. Beyond the Taj, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri are profound examples of the Mughal Empire’s architectural brilliance. Agra’s rich craft tradition, including marble inlay work and leather goods, offers unique souvenirs.

3. Jaipur – The Pink City

Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, is famed for its rich Rajput history, stunning forts, and splendid palaces. The city’s plan, based on Indian Vastu Shastra, features the City Palace, Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, and Jantar Mantar, reflecting a blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Jaipur is also a shopper’s paradise, known for its gems, jewelry, textiles, and handicrafts.

4. Exploring the Markets of Delhi

Delhi’s markets are a vibrant example of India’s diverse culture, offering everything from luxurious silk fabrics to handcrafted artifacts. Chandni Chowk, one of the oldest and busiest markets in Old Delhi, provides a sensory overload with its narrow lanes filled with the scent of spices and colorful textiles. For a more upscale shopping experience, Khan Market offers branded boutiques, excellent bookshops, and some of Delhi’s best cafes and restaurants.

5. Agra’s Mughal Heritage

While the Taj Mahal is Agra’s crown jewel, the city’s Mughal heritage offers much more to explore. The Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a red sandstone fortress that served as the residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty. It houses several exquisite buildings, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal. Akbar’s Tomb in Sikandra offers a serene and less crowded historical site, showcasing the architectural brilliance of Mughal art and design.

6. Jaipur’s Amer Fort and Hawa Mahal

Jaipur, the Pink City, is famed for its rich architectural heritage, with the Amer Fort and Hawa Mahal as iconic landmarks. Amer Fort, located on a hilltop, offers breathtaking views and a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the Rajput Maharajas. The fort’s Sheesh Mahal, or Mirror Palace, is a stunning example of artistic craftsmanship. Hawa Mahal, or the Palace of Winds, is known for its unique facade featuring 953 small windows, designed to allow royal ladies to observe street festivals while remaining unseen.

7. Culinary Delights of the Golden Triangle

The Golden Triangle offers a culinary journey through India’s rich flavors and spices. Delhi’s street food, Agra’s Mughlai cuisine, and Jaipur’s Rajasthani dishes provide a feast for the senses. In Delhi, savor the chaat at Connaught Place or the kebabs in Old Delhi. Agra is famous for its petha, a sweet made from pumpkin, and savory kormas.

8. Art and Craft Workshops

Participating in art and craft workshops across the Golden Triangle offers an immersive experience into India’s artistic traditions. Delhi’s craft museums and studios offer workshops in pottery and textile arts. Agra is renowned for its marble inlay work, with workshops allowing visitors to try their hand at this intricate craft. Jaipur’s tie-dye and block printing workshops provide insight into traditional Rajasthani textile designs, offering a hands-on experience in creating your own fabric designs.

9. Exploring the Markets of Jaipur

Jaipur, known as the Pink City, is famous for its historic forts and palaces and its vibrant markets. These bazaars are alive with a riot of colors, offering everything from traditional Rajasthani jewelry and textiles to various handicrafts. The Johari Bazaar is renowned for its exquisite gemstones and jewelry, while the Bapu Bazaar is the go-to place for Rajasthani juttis (traditional leather shoes), scarves, and textiles.

10. Sunrise at the Taj Mahal, Agra

The Taj Mahal, is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, offers a breathtaking sight not to be missed — the sunrise view. Witnessing the first rays of the sun illuminate the white marble mausoleum is a magical experience. The early morning light bathes the Taj Mahal in a soft, golden hue, highlighting its intricate craftsmanship and majestic beauty. This time of day is perfect for photography and allows for a more serene experience, away from the crowds that gather as the day progresses.

11. Folk Culture of Rajasthan in Jaipur

Jaipur is not only famous for its historic architecture but also for its rich folk culture. Experiencing a traditional Rajasthani cultural performance is a must-do when visiting Jaipur. These performances include folk music, dance, and puppet shows that tell tales of heroism, love, and the everyday life of Rajasthan’s people. The colorful costumes, lively music, and graceful dance moves of the performers make for an unforgettable evening.

12. The Stepwells of Rajasthan Near Jaipur

The stepwells of Rajasthan, known as ‘baoris,’ are ancient water storage systems that are architectural marvels in their own right. Near Jaipur, the Chand Baori in Abhaneri is one of the world’s largest and most beautiful stepwells, dating back to the 9th century. This stepwell features 3,500 narrow steps descending 20 meters to the water’s surface, arranged in perfect symmetry.

13. Polo Match in Jaipur

Polo, the sport of kings, has a long and illustrious history in Jaipur, with the city being one of India’s traditional polo centers. Attending a polo match in Jaipur offers a glimpse into the regal sport and the opportunity to witness the thrilling action up close. The experience of watching skilled horsemen in traditional attire competing on the field is exhilarating and offers insight into the aristocratic heritage of Jaipur.

The Bottom Line

Exploring the Golden Triangle offers a journey through the heart of India’s historical grandeur, culinary richness, and vibrant culture. From the architectural wonders of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur to the bustling markets and serene heritage sites, each city presents a unique palette of experiences.

Engaging with the local crafts, savoring the diverse flavors, and immersing yourself in the cultural heritage allows a deeper understanding and appreciation of India’s multifaceted beauty. As you plan your journey, remember to embrace the diversity, seek out authentic experiences, and travel with an open heart and mind.
