Visit Raj Ghat, the cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi, and pay your respects to the Father of the Nation.

Next, explore the grandeur of India Gate, an iconic war memorial dedicated to Indian soldiers. Stop for a photo at the President’s House and take a scenic drive through Parliament Street, home to some of India’s most important government buildings. Visit Bangla Sahib, a peaceful Sikh temple, and if it’s open, take a moment at Gandhi’s Home (closed on Mondays). If time permits, visit the serene Lotus Temple, known for its unique flower-like architecture (closed on Mondays).

After your day of sightseeing in Delhi, you’ll drive towards Agra via the expressway, a journey that takes approximately 3-4 hours. Upon arrival, check in at your hotel for an overnight stay in Agra.
