The Taj Mahal is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and sunrise is undoubtedly one of the best times to experience it. The early morning light bathes this monument in a soft, golden colour, allowing you to witness just how striking the imposing palace looks under the gorgeous rising sun before setting out on a tour of the Taj Mahal grounds.

Built by Emperor Akbar in 1565 CE, this majestic fort is made of striking red sandstone, and its well-designed buildings present a great combination of Hindu and Central Asian architectural styles. It features many elegant mosques, courtyards, and personal chambers that tell the tales of the greatness of the Mughal Empire.

After lunch, drive back to Delhi. You will be dropped off at your hotel or the airport.
