The tour usually begins early in the morning, with a pickup from your hotel in Delhi, where you’ll travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to Agra, the city that houses the Taj Mahal. The drive takes around 3-4 hours depending on traffic.

Upon arrival in Agra, you’ll first visit the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. You’ll have time to explore this majestic white marble mausoleum built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into its history, architecture, and cultural significance.

• After your Taj Mahal visit, the tour will often include a trip to the Elephant Conservation Centre, where you can learn about elephant rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation efforts. You may have the opportunity to interact with the elephants, including feeding or bathing them, depending on the activities offered at the centre. The centre aims to educate visitors about the protection of elephants and their importance in Indian culture.

• Traditional Indian dishes. This break allows you to relax and refuel before continuing the journey

After the visit to the Elephant Conservation Centre, you’ll head back to Delhi, arriving in the evening. Depending on the time and the tour operator, there might be additional stops or options to explore the local markets or landmarks briefly before heading back.
