Agra Overnight Tour from Delhi

Introduction: More Time, More Magic

If one day feels too rushed to soak in the timeless charm of Agra, then the Agra Overnight Tour from Delhi is your perfect escape. With an unhurried pace, stunning sights, and the chance to experience the Taj Mahal at sunrise, this 2-day journey is a dream come true for history buffs, romantics, and travelers seeking a deeper connection to India’s Mughal heritage.

Why Choose an Overnight Tour to Agra?

1. Experience the Taj Mahal at Both Sunset and Sunrise

Witnessing the Taj Mahal at different times of day is a visual treat. The evening glow and morning mist offer completely different yet equally mesmerizing views.

2. More Time, Less Rush

Unlike same-day tours, an overnight trip lets you explore at a relaxed pace. You can enjoy the sights, take breaks, and truly experience the magic of the city.

3. Explore Lesser-Known Gems

With extra time, you can visit places often missed on short trips — like Mehtab Bagh, Itimad-ud-Daulah, or local artisan markets.

Day 1: Departure from Delhi & Exploring Agra

Morning Pickup from Delhi

Your journey starts with a comfortable AC car pickup from your Delhi hotel or airport. The drive to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway takes around 3–4 hours. Enjoy scenic views or catch a nap before your adventure begins.

Arrive in Agra & Check-In

Upon reaching Agra, check into a luxury or boutique hotel (depending on your package). Freshen up, relax, and get ready to explore the Mughal wonders of the city.

Visit Agra Fort – A Royal Experience

After lunch, your first stop is the grand Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This majestic red sandstone fortress, built by Emperor Akbar, was once the seat of the Mughal Empire. Don’t miss Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, and the stunning views of the Taj from its balconies.

Evening at Mehtab Bagh – Sunset with the Taj

Next, head across the Yamuna River to Mehtab Bagh, a peaceful garden offering an incredible rear view of the Taj Mahal at sunset. This is the perfect spot for photos, away from the crowds.

Dinner & Overnight Stay

After a day full of exploration, enjoy a delicious Mughlai dinner at your hotel or a local restaurant. Get some rest — an unforgettable sunrise awaits you in the morning!

Day 2: Sunrise at the Taj Mahal & Return to Delhi

Early Morning Visit to the Taj Mahal

Wake up early for the most magical part of your tour — watching the Taj Mahal at sunrise. The monument glows in the morning light, and the crowd is minimal, offering a peaceful, surreal experience.

Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz, this white marble wonder is more than just a building — it’s a symbol of eternal love.

Breakfast & Hotel Checkout

Head back to your hotel for a hearty breakfast. Afterward, check out and prepare to explore a few more gems before heading back to Delhi.

Visit Itimad-ud-Daulah – The Baby Taj

Often overshadowed by the Taj Mahal, the Itimad-ud-Daulah Tomb is a hidden gem. With intricate marble work and a serene atmosphere, it's worth visiting for its artistic beauty and historical importance.

Shopping in Agra (Optional)

Before leaving, you may stop by local markets for Agra’s famous marble inlay items, leather goods, carpets, and handicrafts — perfect for souvenirs or gifts.

Drive Back to Delhi

Begin your return journey to Delhi in the afternoon. You’ll arrive back by evening, with your camera full of pictures and your heart full of memories.
