Highlights

Explore three major destinations in one carefully timed private day trip from Delhi. Begin in Vrindavan while the temples are open, visiting Prem Mandir and ISKCON Krishna-Balaram Mandir before continuing to Mathura for Vishram Ghat and a short Yamuna boat experience. The itinerary is deliberately planned around the morning temple opening hours rather than risking arriving after they close. Continue to Agra for lunch before visiting the Taj Mahal in the afternoon, when the light becomes softer and much of the morning rush has passed. Travel throughout in your own air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver. The experience is private and flexible.

  1. Begin with private pickup from your hotel, residence, or airport across Delhi NCR. Pickup is available from Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Faridabad, including Delhi IGI Airport, Hindon Airport, and Noida International Airport in Jewar. Choose an available morning departure and travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle towards Vrindavan via the Yamuna Expressway.

About New Delhi

New Delhi pairs the stately avenues of India's capital with the bazaars and Mughal monuments of Old Delhi, a city of layered empires and great food.

The planned capital centres on a grand ceremonial avenue running from India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace. Nearby, Humayun's Tomb, a forerunner of the Taj Mahal, sits in formal gardens, and the Qutub Minar, a towering sandstone minaret, rises in the south. The Lotus Temple and the vast Akshardham complex add striking modern landmarks.

Top-ranked sights in New Delhi: India Gate, Jama Masjid (Masjid e Jahan Numa), Chandni Chowk.
