Dawn light eases across the Yamuna floodplain as your private car peels away from Delhi; the Taj Mahal’s marble seems to hold its breath for sunrise. This overnight tour is built around that early moment — a relaxed drive to Agra, an afternoon of tombs and forts, an evening at Mehtab Bagh to watch the river push cool air across the gardens, and a pre-dawn return to the Taj before heading out to Fatehpur Sikri.
