Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a day to explore nearby heritage sites such as Fatehpur Sikri or spend an extra day in Delhi visiting museums and art galleries. For a shorter trip, focus on Delhi’s key sites on Day 1 and Day 2, and take a day trip to the Taj Mahal without an overnight stay in Agra.
