Why Travel by Train to Agra?

Simple: speed, comfort, and efficiency.
Train travel in India has evolved. Modern, fast trains like the Gatimaan Express cut down travel time to just about 90 minutes. Plus, you avoid the hassle of road traffic and get to relax with onboard meals, air-conditioning, and spacious seating.

Early Morning Departure from Delhi

The tour begins bright and early with a hotel pickup in Delhi by Ekaiva’s private driver. You’re driven to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, where your seat in the air-conditioned coach of the Gatimaan Express awaits. The train departs at 8:10 AM sharp, so punctuality is key.

During the train journey, enjoy a light breakfast served onboard, relax, and prepare yourself for a day full of discoveries.

Arrival in Agra and Welcome by Local Guide

You’ll reach Agra Cantt Railway Station around 9:50 AM, where a local tour guide from Ekaiva India Company will greet you warmly. From there, you begin your personalized sightseeing tour in a private AC car, ready to explore Agra's magnificent treasures.

First Stop: The Iconic Taj Mahal

Of course, your journey kicks off with the Taj Mahal—the crown jewel of India. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as an eternal symbol of love for his wife Mumtaz, this white marble wonder is more than a UNESCO World Heritage Site—it's a moment frozen in time.

With a professional guide by your side, you’ll skip the lines and walk right into a world of history, craftsmanship, and romance. Every angle of the Taj is a photo waiting to happen.

Next Up: Agra Fort – The Royal Residence

After the Taj Mahal, your next destination is the mighty Agra Fort. This red sandstone fortress served as the home of Mughal emperors and tells stories of royal conspiracies, battles, and empire.

Explore the Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, Jahangir Palace, and other splendid sections as your guide brings the history alive.

Lunch at a Traditional Indian Restaurant

By now, you’ll have worked up quite the appetite. Ekaiva India Company arranges lunch at a reputed local restaurant where you’ll enjoy authentic Indian dishes—flavor-packed curries, buttery naan, and more. Whether you’re vegetarian or non-veg, options are aplenty.

Optional Stop: Baby Taj or Mehtab Bagh

Depending on time and your interest, the tour can also include a visit to:

• Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb (aka Baby Taj) – A beautiful structure that inspired the Taj Mahal

• Mehtab Bagh – A riverside garden that offers an enchanting view of the Taj from across the Yamuna River

Both are serene and less crowded, giving you a peaceful glimpse into Agra's hidden gems.

Shopping Time – Agra’s Local Markets

Before heading back, there's time to explore Agra’s local handicraft markets. Famous for marble inlay work, leather products, zari embroidery, and precious stones, these markets give you a peek into the city’s vibrant artisan culture. You’re free to shop or simply admire the traditional artistry.

Evening Return to Delhi by Gatimaan Express

By 5:30 PM, you’ll be dropped back at Agra Cantt Railway Station to board the Gatimaan Express for your return journey. The train departs at 5:50 PM and arrives in Delhi by 7:30 PM. Dinner is served on board, letting you relax after a day of exploration.
