Taj Mahal Tour by Train by Discover The Taj Company

The Taj Mahal isn’t just a monument—it’s a love story carved in marble, and it’s on nearly every traveler’s bucket list. If you're looking for a fast, efficient, and unique way to experience this wonder without the long drive from Delhi, then the Taj Mahal Tour by Train with Discover The Taj Company is a perfect pick.

This one-day adventure offers comfort, speed, and seamless organization, making it one of the most popular and practical ways to witness the magic of Agra’s iconic sites.

Why Choose the Train Tour Option?

Let’s be honest—India’s roads can be unpredictable, and road trips can be tiring. But with the Gatimaan Express, India’s fastest train, you’ll glide from Delhi to Agra in just 1 hour and 40 minutes. That means more time exploring, less time commuting.

And when you go with Discover The Taj Company, they handle everything—from train tickets and local guides to transport and meals.

Start Your Day Early (But Easy!)

Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Delhi around 6:30 AM. You’ll be driven in a private, air-conditioned car to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station where your guide hands over your pre-booked train tickets and ensures you board the Gatimaan Express without hassle.

Train Perks:

• Comfortable executive class or AC chair car seating

• Breakfast served onboard

• Clean, safe, and fast

• Reaches Agra by 9:50 AM

Welcome to Agra – A City of Marble Dreams

Once you arrive at Agra Cantt Railway Station, your local tour guide and chauffeur will be waiting to greet you with a smile and a placard bearing your name. From there, your whirlwind but wonderfully organized day begins.

Taj Mahal – The Crown Jewel

First stop, of course, is the Taj Mahal—a monument that needs no introduction. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, this white marble mausoleum is an eternal symbol of love.

Your guide dives into the rich history, architectural brilliance, and fascinating myths behind the structure. You’ll have plenty of time to explore, take photos, and even find those perfect Instagram angles.

Agra Fort – The Royal Fortress

Next up is the magnificent Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and once the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Made of red sandstone, it houses palaces, mosques, and audience halls. The views of the Taj Mahal from the fort? Simply stunning.

Lunch at a Local Restaurant

By now, you’ll have worked up an appetite. Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at a carefully selected multi-cuisine restaurant. Whether you prefer rich Mughlai flavors or something milder, there’s something for every palate.

Optional Stop: Mehtab Bagh or Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj)

If time allows (and you’re up for it), you can visit Mehtab Bagh, a riverside garden offering Taj Mahal views at sunset, or the charming Itimad-ud-Daulah, known as the “Baby Taj” for its exquisite marble inlay work.

Shopping in Agra (Optional)

Agra is also known for its marble handicrafts, leather goods, jewelry, and carpets. If you’re in the mood to shop, your guide can take you to authentic, government-approved stores—no scams or overpriced tourist traps.

Return Journey by Gatimaan Express

Around 5:30 PM, you’ll head back to Agra Cantt Railway Station and board the Gatimaan Express by 5:50 PM. Dinner will be served on the train, and you’ll arrive back in Delhi around 7:30 PM.

Your driver will be waiting to drop you safely back at your hotel—relaxed, fulfilled, and probably already thinking about your next trip.
