You step out of New Delhi's bustling streets into a ribbon of highway that pushes you toward the marble silhouette of the Taj Mahal — its reflection shimmering across the Yamuna at dusk. Over four days the route moves like a measured conversation between Mughal ambition and Rajput pageantry: frosted white mausoleums, red-sandstone forts, and pink-hued city facades.
