If you're looking to experience this magic, the Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour from Delhi by Taj Mahal Day Tour Company is hands-down the best way to do it.

Let’s walk through what makes this tour so incredible.

Why Choose a Sunrise Tour?

The Taj Mahal is one of the most visited monuments in the world, which means—yep—crowds. But at sunrise? It’s a whole different story.

• Fewer tourists

• Cooler temperatures

• Unbeatable lighting for photography

• Serene, peaceful atmosphere

The Taj Mahal looks almost ethereal in the early morning light. No filters needed.

What to Expect on the Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour

This is a same-day private tour starting early from Delhi and returning the same evening. It’s ideal for those with tight schedules or looking to make the most of a single day.

1. Early Morning Pickup from Delhi

Your day kicks off with a pickup around 2:00–3:00 AM from your hotel or the airport in Delhi/NCR. A comfortable, air-conditioned car with an experienced driver will be waiting to take you to Agra via the Yamuna Expressway—a smooth 3-hour drive.

Blankets, snacks, and water are often provided so you can nap or relax en route.

2. Arrival in Agra & Meeting Your Guide

Once you arrive in Agra, you’ll meet your private English-speaking guide, who will accompany you through the monuments and provide rich historical context and fascinating stories.

3. Witness the Sunrise at the Taj Mahal

This is the heart of the tour. You’ll reach the Taj Mahal right at dawn, just as the gates open. As the first rays of sunlight hit the white marble, it starts to shimmer with hues of gold and pink.

Take your time walking through the gardens, admiring the intricate inlays, and capturing stunning photos without the usual daytime crowds.

Your guide will share the romantic and tragic story of Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, adding emotional depth to the beauty you’re witnessing.

4. Breakfast at a 5-Star Hotel

After the visit, you’ll enjoy a hearty breakfast at one of Agra’s luxury hotels like Courtyard Marriott or Trident. A well-deserved break with delicious Indian and continental options on offer.

5. Explore Agra Fort

Next stop: the mighty Agra Fort. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a red sandstone fortress that served as the seat of the Mughal Empire. With palaces, courtyards, and panoramic views of the Yamuna River (and even the Taj!), it’s an architectural marvel.

If time allows, you can visit:

• Itimad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj): A jewel box of a tomb that inspired the design of the Taj Mahal.
