Dawn in New Delhi, and the city’s hum gives way to the clean, clipped rhythm of the Gatimaan Express. You settle into a reserved carriage, the landscape easing from urban sprawl to wide plains as the train pushes east toward Agra. By mid-morning the white silhouette of the Taj Mahal appears across the gardens, marble catching light like a challenge — beautiful, precise, demanding attention.
