After breakfast, take a short 40-minute drive to Fatehpur Sikri, the former Mughal capital. This historic city is home to stunning architecture, including the Buland Darwaza, Jama Masjid, Panch Mahal, and the Tomb of Salim Chisti. It's a great opportunity to delve deeper into Mughal history. After exploring Fatehpur Sikri, return to Agra and visit Agra Fort, a World Heritage site and one of India’s most impressive Mughal structures. Built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century, the fort served as the Mughal Empire's main military base and royal residence. Known for its striking red sandstone walls, intricate marble palaces, and beautiful gardens, the fort features key highlights such as the Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-i-Am, Moti Masjid, and Musamman Burj, from which Emperor Shah Jahan is said to have viewed the Taj Mahal. Located just a few kilometers from the Taj, Agra Fort offers a rich glimpse into the grandeur of the Mughal era. After the tour, return to your hotel for an overnight stay in Agra.
