We arrive in Delhi from London Heathrow Friday 10/10/08 @ 06.15 and want info on getting to Agra & back to Delhi the same evening.
Price is not the main concern so a private hire would be ok for 2 of us but realibility is very important as we fly out to Kathmandu Saturday morning the 11/10/08. Is the Taj Mahal even open on a Friday? As an alternative we arrive back in Delhi from Kathmandu Saturday 18/10/08 @ 10.55 and would need to get back for the Sunday 02.10 flight back from Delhi to London. |

A cab will get you there in 3-3.5 hrs. So if you leave around 8 you are looking at getting there by 1130 or so....can spend the entire day there til 5-6 and be back in Delhi by 9 or even later depending on your preference.
The road is good with very few bad stretches but traffic can be a bit heavy though. |
