Exploring India in Just Two Days: A Practical Look at the Hyderabad to Taj Mahal Tour
Traveling to India often means enjoying a whirlwind of history, culture, and stunning sights. This 2-day package from Hyderabad, offered by Falcon Travels, promises to pack in some of the country’s most iconic landmarks — including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Delhi — along with comfortable flights and luxurious accommodations.
What makes this tour appealing are the seamless logistics with private airport transfers, the inclusion of roundtrip flights (saving you the hassle of booking separately), and the chance to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise — an experience many travelers cherish. We particularly like how the itinerary balances sightseeing with comfort, allowing for a rich experience without feeling overly rushed.
However, a key consideration is the short amount of time allocated to each destination. If you’re a history buff craving in-depth exploration, two days might feel a bit tight, especially with travel between cities. This tour is best suited for those who want a quick, well-organized overview of India’s Mughal marvels, with a taste of Delhi’s highlights, all at a reasonable price point.

From Hyderabad to Delhi and Beyond
The journey kicks off with a pickup from your desired Hyderabad location, where a private air-conditioned car will transport you to the airport. The flight to Delhi, lasting about 2.5 hours, is a quick way to cover the distance and gets you straight into the thick of India’s vibrant capital. Once in Delhi, a driver and guide await you for a guided sightseeing tour, focusing on some of the city’s main highlights.
This initial part of the trip is ideal for those who appreciate a structured introduction to Delhi’s key sites. The guide’s commentary is likely to enhance your understanding of India’s political and cultural pulse, even if the tour’s duration limits deep exploration.
Delhi Highlights and the Drive to Agra
Expect about 3 hours of sightseeing in Delhi, with visits to some main monuments. While the specifics aren’t detailed, typical attractions may include India Gate, Lotus Temple, or other notable landmarks, depending on your guide’s plan and current conditions.
Afterward, you’ll enjoy breakfast before heading to Agra via a 3-hour drive. During this journey, you’ll have time to relax and take in the scenery. The drive is a good opportunity to connect with fellow travelers or simply enjoy the changing landscape.
Sunset at Mehtab Bagh and Hotel Relaxation
Arriving in Agra, your first stop is Mehtab Bagh, an often-overlooked gem offering one of the best sunset views of the Taj Mahal. This spot is ideal for capturing stunning photos and soaking in the tranquil ambiance with the Taj in the background. The guided tour here provides historical insights and photography tips, ensuring you get memorable images.
Post sunset, you’ll check into your luxurious 5-star hotel, where you can unwind after a day of travel. The overnight stay allows you to rest up before the highlight of the trip — visiting the Taj Mahal at sunrise.

The experience of seeing the monument at this time is often described as unforgettable and worth the early wake-up call.
Exploring Agra Fort and Returning to Delhi
After breakfast at the hotel, your guide takes you through Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Expect impressive architecture, courtyards, and panoramic views of the Taj Mahal from the fort’s ramparts. Guided tours here help unlock the stories behind the stones.
Finally, you’ll board the flight back to Delhi, where your driver will meet you for the transfer to the airport. The journey concludes with your return flight to Hyderabad, followed by a private car drop-off at your chosen location.

The inclusion of a 5-star hotel adds comfort that can make a big difference after long travel days.
Authentic Touches and Practical Details
The tour emphasizes authentic Mughlai cuisine, giving you a taste of royal Indian flavors, and the guided tours across all major sites ensure you understand the historical significance of each location. The small group size (private group) means more personalized attention, and the availability of multiple language options (English, Italian, Spanish, French) makes it accessible to international travelers.
Considerations and Potential Drawbacks
While the itinerary is packed, the short time in each location might leave some wanting more depth. For history enthusiasts, this might feel like a quick overview rather than an in-depth exploration. Also, depending on flight timings, you may encounter early mornings and late evenings, which could be tiring.
