You step out of an air-conditioned car into the cool pre-dawn at Agra, the Yamuna river pushing a pale mist across the gardens while the Taj Mahal catches the first light like polished bone. Over four days the route unfolds: colonial avenues and sandstone towers of Delhi, the marble hush of Shah Jahan’s mausoleum, and the pink city ramparts and hilltop forts of Jaipur. The circuit covers roughly 720 km by road, with each driving leg usually 4–6 hours along highways and expressways.
