Planning Your Journey
A little planning goes a long way to make the most of this trip. Here's what you need to know:
Booking Tickets
- Booking your tickets is easy and can often be done online. Look for the timings that suit your schedule best, but my tip? Choose the early morning slot. Watching the sunrise over the Taj Mahal is an experience you will remember.
- Pack light, but remember essentials like sunscreen, a hat, comfortable shoes, and your camera. Even in Agra, the sun can be harsh, and much walking is involved. Comfort is key!
Food and Beverages
The Gatimaan Express offers onboard catering with delicacies catering to vegetarians and non-vegetarians. However, trying the local cuisine in Agra is something I'd highly recommend.
The Journey Experience
The journey on the Gatimaan Express is an adventure in itself. From the moment you set foot on the train, you're treated to the Indian Railways' hospitality. The seats are comfortable, and the large windows offer breathtaking views. It's a smooth ride, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.
Conclusion
A day trip to the Taj Mahal by the Gatimaan Express from Delhi is an experience that combines the thrill of a train journey with the allure of one of the world's most iconic landmarks. It's a reminder of the beauty that travel brings into our lives, connecting us to history, culture, and moments that take our breath away. So, why wait? The Taj Mahal and all its glory are just a train ride out.
