Same DayAgra Tour

Experience the grandeur of the Taj Mahal with our same day Agra tour from Jaipur, one of the most popular day trips connecting Rajasthan's Pink City to the Mughal capital. Covering 240 km via NH21 through the historic Bharatpur region, this full-day excursion lets you explore Agra's finest Mughal monuments without an overnight stay. Triveni Cabs has been operating this Jaipur to Agra route since 2015, and with a 4.9 Google rating and over 5,000 happy tourists served, we are the most trusted cab service for this journey.

The drive from Jaipur to Agra via NH21 takes you through some of Rajasthan's most scenic countryside. After departing from your Jaipur hotel at around 4:00-5:00 AM, you pass through Dausa (60 km from Jaipur), continue through the Bharatpur district -- home to the famous Keoladeo bird sanctuary -- and cross into Uttar Pradesh before entering Agra via the Fatehabad Road. The entire 240 km route is well-maintained with multiple rest stops, fuel stations, and highway dhabas along the way. Our experienced drivers know every turn of this road and ensure a smooth, comfortable journey.

Your first stop in Agra is the world-famous Taj Mahal, best visited in the early morning light when the white marble glows with a golden hue. We recommend entering from the East Gate (Shilpgram side) to avoid the longer queues at the West Gate. Spend about 2 hours exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, built by Emperor Shah Jahan between 1632 and 1653 in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The intricate pietra dura inlay work, the perfectly symmetrical gardens, and the reflecting pool make this a photographer's paradise.

After the Taj Mahal, the tour proceeds to Agra Fort, a massive red sandstone fortification just 2.5 km away on the banks of the Yamuna River. This UNESCO heritage site houses stunning palaces including Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, Sheesh Mahal, and the poignant Musamman Burj from where Shah Jahan, imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb, spent his final years gazing at the Taj Mahal. The fort offers panoramic views of the Taj across the river and is an essential part of any Agra sightseeing tour.

Following lunch at a well-reviewed local restaurant -- we recommend trying Agra's famous Mughlai cuisine, petha sweets, and bedai breakfast -- you visit Itimad-ud-Daulah, popularly known as the Baby Taj. This exquisite marble tomb, built by Empress Nur Jahan for her father, features some of the finest pietra dura inlay work in India and is often credited as the inspiration for the Taj Mahal. The tomb sits in a beautiful char-bagh garden on the opposite bank of the Yamuna and is far less crowded than the Taj, making it perfect for photography.

Your final stop is Mehtab Bagh, the Moonlight Garden located directly across the Yamuna from the Taj Mahal. This garden offers the most iconic and photographed view of the Taj, especially beautiful during the late afternoon golden hour. The entry fee is modest, and the 25-acre garden complex provides a serene setting to capture stunning photos of the Taj reflected in the river.

Triveni Cabs provides well-maintained, sanitized AC vehicles for this journey -- choose from a Swift Dzire sedan at Rs 5,500, an Innova or Ertiga SUV at Rs 7,500, or a Tempo Traveller for larger groups at Rs 14,000.
