Day 2: Sunrise Visit to the Taj Mahal – Return to Delhi

Early Morning – Sunrise at the Taj Mahal

Day two starts with a very early morning call to visit the Taj Mahal, assuredly the best part of your Taj Mahal One Night 2 Days Tour. The gentle light of dawn colours the white marble in hues of pink and gold, setting an enchanting mood that makes getting up early worth it.

Your tour guide will walk you through the rich past of the Taj Mahal, which was constructed in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan in loving memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal. You will be told about the architecture, Islamic calligraphy, floral carvings, and symbolic love saga surrounding its construction.

Proceed at your leisure through the gorgeously clipped gardens, reflection pools, and the breathtaking marble platform that shelters the tombs.

After Breakfast – Visit to Baby Taj and Local Market

Following breakfast back at your hotel and a bit of rest, the tour proceeds on to Itmad-ud-Daulah's Tomb, better known as the "Baby Taj".
