Agra

The marble dome rises before the city fully wakes, and Agra begins with the Taj turning pale pink at sunrise. Yamuna moves slowly behind it. Guides wait quietly near the gates. This is not just a monument stop. Agra is this incredible Mughal-era city with layers of history, fort walls, stunning tomb gardens, and old bazaars that still feel alive. If you're wondering where Agra is in India, it's pretty straightforward: western Uttar Pradesh, roughly 230 km south of Delhi. Some folks mix it up with where Agra is in Delhi, but trust me, it's its own legendary place with way too much history to share a name with any other city.
