2 Days Delhi Agra Tour Package by Car: Full Itinerary

08:00 AM — Pickup from Your Delhi Hotel or Airport Your private car and driver begin the day with pickup from your Delhi hotel, or directly from the airport if you're arriving that morning. This is when your guide confirms the day's stop order with you before setting off.

08:30 – 09:30 AM — Qutub Minar The tallest brick minaret in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dating back to the 12th century. An early visit here means fewer crowds and cooler morning temperatures for the walk around the complex.

09:30 – 10:30 AM — Humayun's Tomb Often described as a precursor to the Taj Mahal in its architectural style, this Mughal-era garden tomb is one of Delhi's most striking heritage sites and a natural next stop after Qutub Minar.

10:30 – 11:15 AM — Jama Masjid One of India's largest mosques, located in the heart of Old Delhi. The surrounding lanes also offer a glimpse of Old Delhi's street life, if your schedule allows a short walk beyond the mosque itself.

11:15 AM – 12:15 PM — India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhavan (Presidential Palace) A drive past New Delhi's ceremonial boulevard, taking in the India Gate war memorial and the imposing Rashtrapati Bhavan, along with the surrounding government buildings that define central New Delhi.

12:15 – 01:00 PM — Lunch Break A stop at a local restaurant in Delhi before the final sightseeing stop and the afternoon drive to Agra.

01:00 – 01:45 PM — Lotus Temple A striking, lotus-shaped Bahá'í House of Worship, and a peaceful final stop before leaving Delhi — its quiet, contemplative grounds are a good contrast to the busier morning stops.

02:00 PM — Drive from Delhi to Agra The drive covers approximately 230 km via the Yamuna Expressway, taking roughly 3 to 3.5 hours depending on traffic. This stretch of the Delhi Agra Overnight Tour by Car is smooth highway driving, and most travelers use it to rest after a full morning of sightseeing.

05:30 – 06:00 PM — Check-in and Overnight Stay in Agra Arrival at your Agra hotel by early evening, with the rest of the night free to rest ahead of an early start the next morning. Hotel category (budget, 3-star, or 5-star) is selected at the time of booking.

05:30 – 06:00 AM — Early Pickup from Your Agra Hotel Pickup time on day two shifts slightly earlier or later depending on the exact sunrise time for that date, since the goal is to reach the Taj Mahal grounds right as the gates open.

06:00 – 08:00 AM — Taj Mahal Sunrise Visit The centerpiece of this Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour with Agra Fort — watching the first light hit the white marble is a different experience from a midday visit, both for the changing color of the monument and for the noticeably thinner crowds this early. Roughly two hours here allows time to explore the main mausoleum, the surrounding gardens, and the riverside view without feeling rushed.

08:00 – 09:00 AM — Breakfast and Hotel Check-out Return to the hotel for breakfast and check-out before the second half of the day begins.

09:30 – 11:00 AM — Agra Fort A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the residence of Mughal emperors before the capital shifted to Delhi. Highlights include the Diwan-i-Am, Diwan-i-Khas, Jahangir's Palace, and the Musamman Burj, which offers a panoramic view of the Taj Mahal from across the river.

11:00 – 11:45 AM — Lunch in Agra A final meal stop in Agra before the return drive, typically at a well-reviewed local restaurant serving Mughlai cuisine.

12:00 PM — Return Drive from Agra to Delhi The return leg retraces the Yamuna Expressway route, arriving back in Delhi by mid-to-late afternoon, with drop-off at your hotel or the airport depending on your onward plans.
