Why a Sunrise Tour? What’s the Big Deal?

There’s something truly breathtaking about watching the Taj Mahal glow with the first rays of the sun. Unlike the typical daytime tour, a sunrise visit offers:

Peace and serenity before tourist crowds flood the grounds
Cooler weather, perfect for exploring in comfort
A softer light that brings out the marble's natural glow—perfect for photos!
A romantic, spiritual, and surreal atmosphere you just can’t get later in the day

Tour Kick-off: Midnight Departure From Delhi

The adventure begins between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM, when a professional driver picks you up from your hotel or airport in Delhi in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. You’ll enjoy a relaxing 3.5-hour drive along the Yamuna Expressway, one of India’s best highways, letting you doze off or enjoy the silence of the night.

Arrive in Agra – Meet Your Local Expert Guide

As you reach Agra around 5:30 AM, your Ekaiva-appointed guide—fluent in English and full of fascinating tales—joins you for the main event of the day: The Taj Mahal at Sunrise.

Taj Mahal at Sunrise – A Moment of Magic

The Taj Mahal, often called a “dream in white marble,” feels even more ethereal in the early light. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a monument of eternal love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, it stands as the world’s greatest tribute to romance and craftsmanship.

Agra Fort – Where History Comes Alive

Next up is the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located just a few kilometers from the Taj. This massive red sandstone fort was once the main residence of the mighty Mughal emperors.
