Tour packages built around a frequented monument can be customized based upon a travelers’ preference. If a traveler has more time to spare in Agra and around, visiting places like Sikandara, Fatehpur Sikri and cities like Dausa, Mathura, Vrindavan, Ranthambor, Sariska and other attractions add value to the overall tour experience.

Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula is also commonly known as the Baby Taj. It predates the Taj Mahal and served as an inspiration for the construction of monument of love in many ways. Commissioned by Jahangir, its construction was overseen by his wife Noor-Jahan and daughter of Mirza Ghiyas beg and his wife whose tomb this construction encloses. Mirza Ghiyas Beg was a Persian noble in exile, who served as Prime minister to the Mughal rulers. His competence was conferred through an award that translates to “pillar of the state” or “Itmad-ud-Daula”!
This place attracts many tourists for its wall carvings, white marble used in construction, intricate designs, symmetrical patterns and the four gardens (Charbagh) layout through massive gates on three sides approaching the sanctum of the tomb.
Mehtabh Bagh on the other side of the Taj Mahal, across the river Yamuna is a serene place to witness the sun goes down.
Visiting the Taj Mahal at the early morning hours is a magical experience. When sunrays hit the white marble, with lush greenery surrounding the Taj Complex and Yamuna flowing behind the UNESCO world heritage monument – the aura has got no parallels. A promise made by a Mughal ruler to his dying wife found manifestation in white marble with 22 years of heavenly efforts and a mammoth expenditure. The inlay marble work industry finds its root back to this grand construction.
