  1. Day 1: The capital

    Kartavya Path, India Gate and the National Museum, with a guide who connects what students see to their civics chapters.

  2. Day 2: Old and older Delhi

    Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb in the morning; the National Science Centre in the afternoon.

  3. Day 3: To Agra

    Coach to Agra by the Yamuna Expressway. Agra Fort in the afternoon, an early night.

  4. Day 4: The Taj at sunrise

    The Taj Mahal as the gates open, breakfast, then the journey home.

What we arrange

  • Timed entries booked for every monument
  • Coaches, drivers and a second driver on the Agra leg
  • Hotels with teachers on each floor
  • Online consent and a payment link per student
  • Headcounts at every gate, both ways

Make it yours

  • Add Fatehpur Sikri on the way back from Agra
  • Add a day for Jaipur and make it the Golden Triangle
  • Ask the school about a guided Parliament visit, which needs passes arranged well ahead

Good to know

  • The Taj Mahal is closed on Fridays; we plan the days around it.
  • Delhi’s air is at its worst in November; ask us about the best weeks.
