Agra Travel Forum

Hi,

I am planning for a day trip from Chennai to Agra. Is it possible to cover the Taj mahal alone in a day? I am starting from chennai and would like to cover Taj mahal and return back on same day to chennai(probably late nite flights). Please tell me.

Thanks
Viki

Hi - this is too long of a trip to do in a day. The flight from Chennai to Delhi takes about 2.5-3 hours. Then the drive (better way than train) takes about 3.5 hours depending how fast you go. It's probably about a minimum of 12.5 hours just to travel there and back. You'll be exhausted and wouldn't have anytime to enjoy the magnificent Taj! Try and stay over one night and at least you won't have to worry about getting back to Delhi for a flight that same night.

yah she is right better to spend night at Agra and give full day to the Taj.
But if you have less of time book a cab in advance get off from flight ahve cab and move fast to Agra.I think its a little buzy shedule but can manage it.

Happy travelling!!

thanks for your reply. yes, i believe it will be a hectic schedule for a day trip to agra.
