Agra to Gwalior Same Day Tourby Private Car
Discover the majestic city of Gwalior with our same day tour from Agra. Just 120 km away, Gwalior is a treasure trove of Indian history featuring one of the most formidable forts in the country, opulent palaces, and rich musical heritage.
Gwalior Fort, described by many as the pearl amongst the fortresses in India, dominates the city from atop a sandstone plateau. Inside the fort, the Man Singh Palace with its colorful ceramic tiles is a visual delight.
