Dawn thins across NCR as travelers board the Gatimaan Express, India’s fastest scheduled train, sliding out of New Delhi toward Agra. Ninety minutes later the Yamuna’s plain unfolds: low fields, concrete outskirts and the telltale white silhouette of the Taj Mahal rising beyond the city’s red sandstone sprawl. The rhythm of the day is deliberate — a high-speed approach, concentrated sightseeing, then a relaxed rail return with dinner.
