Agra to Fatehpur Sikri Road Distance: 40 km · 45 minutes-1 hour · Cab from ₹2,200

The road distance from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri is 40 km via NH-11. That is the driving distance a car actually covers, not the straight-line distance.

About 45 minutes-1 hour via NH-11, which makes this a full day behind the wheel rather than a half-day trip. A 5-6 AM start is what gets you in before dark; leaving late turns the last stretch into night driving.

A cab from Agra to Fatehpur Sikri starts at ₹2,200 for an AC sedan, ₹2,500 for an Ertiga, ₹2,800 for an Innova Crysta and ₹2,800 for a 12-seater Tempo Traveller. At 40 km this is quoted on the 4 hr / 40 km local package, with distance past 40 km added at the per-km rate. Toll and state tax are extra at actual.

Yes. There is no town on the way worth planning a halt around, so the 40 km runs as one continuous leg. That makes the timing predictable, which is the main advantage of a route like this.

At 45 minutes-1 hour it is doable in one day with an early start and many passengers do it. Two things change the answer: a driver on a run this long needs real rest breaks, and arriving after dark somewhere unfamiliar is the part people regret. If the schedule allows, an overnight halt near the midpoint splits it comfortably.

October to March. Early morning visit recommended to avoid crowds. Those windows are about the road rather than the forecast - a closed or damaged stretch changes the journey time, not just the comfort. Confirm conditions before booking in the months named above.

For a 40 km run the local package usually covers both legs, so the question is how long you need the car rather than which direction. Hourly retention beats two separate drops if you are returning the same day.

Self-driving Agra to Fatehpur Sikri costs roughly ₹286 in fuel one way at about 14 km/l. A Triveni cab includes fuel in the fare, so toll and state tax are the only extras.
