Take a day trip to Agra by private SUV. Walk through the giant red sandstone gates of Agra Fort and stand before the Taj Mahal at sunset.
Agra exists on an itinerary for one reason, and the reason justifies everything: the Taj at dawn, before the day's heat and crowds, is architecture's most complete sentence.

Explore the delicate marble inlay workshops of Agra, learning about techniques dating back to the builders of the Taj Mahal. Return to Delhi for the evening.
The marble changes costume through the day — pearl-grey before dawn, amber at sunset. Meet it at the right hour and it silences even the well-travelled.
