Experience the thrilling journey of Same Day Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi by Gatimaan Express, the high-speed train both in terms of comfort and efficiency. This is a mind-blowing excursion that gives travelers an exposure to view up close one of the world's most iconic monuments, the Taj Mahal, seamlessly and in the most time effective way.
The day starts way too early as you board the Gatimaan Express from Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station in Delhi. The Gatimaan Express—known for its fast but smooth journey—whisks you through the beautiful sceneries of northern India toward Agra. You can give in a little with this train ride and simply appreciate the view outside, as it almost takes about 2 hours to reach your destination, with small towns, green fields, and scenes from rural life.
On arrival in Agra, get transferred into a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle for your transfer directly to the Taj Mahal, the crown jewel of Mughal architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan as a tribute of love to his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the mesmerizing mausoleum is very famous due to its amazing beauty and deep symbolism of eternal love.
As one approaches the Taj Mahal, here it is—this sparkling white marble dome framed with symmetrically laid-out gardens and reflecting pools. Then there is the intricacy of marble inlays, delicately carved screens, and calligraphy inscriptions from the Quran—all presented with gusto in this exceptional monument. Stepping through the main gateway, you are struck by the sight of the centerpiece mausoleum with identical red sandstone buildings flanking it and complementing its perfect symmetry.
Inside the Taj Mahal, it is very serene and stoic; it provides superb opportunities to see the intricate craft at close quarters. The central chamber houses the cenotaphs of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, with marble screens etched into them, and quietude seems to hang in the air around the place.
