Stroll through the pristine gardens, take iconic photos, and soak in the majestic beauty of this timeless symbol of love.

Agra Fort – The Mighty Mughal Fortress

From its ramparts, enjoy panoramic views of the Yamuna River and even the Taj Mahal in the distance. The fort’s palaces, halls, and mosques are rich in detail and storytelling.

Lunch at a Local Restaurant

After a morning full of history and beauty, it's time to relax and refuel with a delicious buffet lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant. Enjoy authentic Mughlai cuisine or choose from a variety of North Indian dishes prepared fresh for you.
