4 Days enough for Agra, Sikri, Bharatpur and Mathura?

arijitchaki · Jul 13th, 2009, 19:06

Hi guys,
I'll have 4 days in hand in end Sept. Is it possible to visit Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Sikandra, Bharatpur and Mathura in that many days. I WILL have a car at my disposal. Any other suggestions for some nice places to visit nearby?
Thanks!

It is possible, but you will be rushing around a bit.

Can I do the following assuming I start early for Taj -

29th Sept - Taj Mahal, Agra Fort etc.
30th Sept - Fatehpur Sikri, Sikandra etc.
1st Oct - Bharatpur
2nd Oct - Mathura

Thanks!

Perefectly well.

I'm assuming you're an Indian so you'll not bother with soaking in the culture or such niceties.

Infact, I'd go so far and say it's easily doable over a two day weekend

But that's my kinda "kill mode" and not the lazy traveling most people prefer

edit: add more time for taj.
mathura/bharatpur can be done in a decent day together. Nothing much there unlike Agra

Thanks Hitanshu. Yes, I'm an Indian and I don't think I'll be soaking in culture this time

How early can I visit the Taj? Before sunrise? What time does it open?
What about viewing the Taj at night? Any idea whether its worth it or not?
Any other things to see in and around Agra?
Thanks

The exact timing of the Taj Mahal is 6:00 in the morning.

Night viewing is only on the Full Moon Day and two days before and after it, excluding Fridays and in the month of Ramzan. Since Ramzan of 2009 is in September, there will be no night Taj visits in September' 2009.

Would it be possible to view the Taj during Full Moon from Mehtab Bagh?

No !

Entry to Mehatb Bagh is from Sunrise to Sunset, full moon or no full moon.
