The first light over the Yamuna softens the Taj Mahal’s marble until it seems to breathe—a slow, pale exhale that only a dawn visit reveals. On this overnight from Delhi you trade city traffic for a two-day loop through Mughal powerhouses: Agra Fort, the delicate Baby Taj, Mehtab Bagh’s river-front view, and the red-sandstone courtyards of Fatehpur Sikri.
