Overview

Why Go to Agra

Agra was the seat of the Mughal Empire at its height, and it still wears that glory. The Taj Mahal needs no introduction — but the city rewards anyone who lingers for the fort, the riverside gardens, and the abandoned imperial city nearby.

It sits a comfortable half-day from Delhi, making it the classic second stop on the Golden Triangle.

Best Time to Visit

October – March

Ideal Duration

1 – 2 days
