Delhi Airport to Agra
India has a very rich history, diverse cultures, and is gifted with wonderful architecture, among which one of the most impressive monuments is the Taj Mahal. It is located in Agra, around 220 kilometers from Delhi, and it attracts millions of tourists a year. Those approaching Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, have an exciting and relatively simple process awaiting you on your way to the Taj Mahal. In this blog, we are going to guide you from Delhi's airport to the Taj Mahal, making sure you have a hassle-free yet enjoyable experience.
Step 1: Get to Delhi's Airport
On reaching Delhi Airport, you will have to clear immigration and collect your baggage if you are arriving as an international visitor. After completing this, you would land in the very chaotic arrival lounge.
Tips:
Charged your phone or make sure that you have a local SIM card or a pocket Wi-Fi device so that you don't lose contact with the world instantly.
