The day begins before dawn on the Yamuna’s banks, when the Taj Mahal glows like a promise made visible — white marble taking color as the sun lifts over Agra. From that hush you’re driven through a landscape of broad plains, colonial avenues and crenellated forts, each day threaded with long highway miles and sudden, wild interruptions: the scrubby hills and granite outcrops of Ranthambore where jeeps push into a reserve alive with movement.
