The highway unfurls east from New Delhi as dawn light catches sandstone domes and the Yamuna slips past Agra like a ribbon daring the city’s forts to outshine it. In three days you move through changing textures: the metropolitan hum of Delhi, the white-marble hush of the Taj Mahal at dusk, and the warm pink façades and hilltop Amber Palace of Jaipur.
