Travel from Lucknow to Agra in a comfortable, air-conditioned tempo traveller. The Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri in one well-planned trip, with doorstep pickup in Lucknow and clear per-km pricing — from Parijat Tour and Travels.
Agra is around 300 km from Lucknow, and the Agra-Lucknow Expressway has cut the drive to roughly five hours. Hiring a tempo traveller on rent in Lucknow lets your group travel together in comfort instead of splitting into cars or chasing last-minute train tickets.
The city needs at least two days to do properly. The Taj Mahal at sunrise, Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh across the river and Itmad-ud-Daulah fill the first day, while Fatehpur Sikri and Sikandra make a comfortable second.
Our fleet covers every group size: 13, 17 and 26-seater tempo travellers, a premium Force Urbania, a 15-seater Tata Winger and a 32-seater mini bus. All are air-conditioned with reclining or pushback seats, and each trip is handled by a professional driver who knows the expressway and the city's parking.
A 300 km expressway run is easy in the right vehicle. Here is why groups choose a tempo traveller over multiple cars for Agra.
Reclining seats, air conditioning and room to move make a five-hour drive far easier than squeezing into a sedan, especially for senior travellers and children.
Sightseeing in Agra means moving between the Taj, the fort and the riverfront gardens. A single vehicle that waits for you is quicker and cheaper than arranging autos at every stop.
From an extended-family holiday to a company outing, everyone travels together, the luggage fits in one place and the fare is easy to split.
Distance, driving time and a sensible two-day plan for the monuments and Mughal sights around Agra.
Agra sits on the Yamuna in western Uttar Pradesh, about 300 km from Lucknow via the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.
Two days is the right amount of time for the monuments and the Mughal-era sights around the city.
The marble mausoleum at sunrise, before the crowds and the heat. Closed every Friday, and tickets are best booked online in advance.
The red sandstone fort with the Musamman Burj, from where Shah Jahan spent his last years looking across at the Taj.
The Mughal garden directly across the Yamuna, and the best place for a sunset view of the Taj Mahal.
Known as the Baby Taj, this delicate marble tomb on the riverbank is usually far quieter than the main monuments.
Akbar's abandoned capital and the Buland Darwaza, about 40 km from Agra on the Jaipur road.
The emperor's tomb set in a large walled garden on the Lucknow side of the city, easy to visit on the way in or out.

Stop at Fatehpur Sikri on the way in or out, add Sikandra, or spend a slow morning at Mehtab Bagh. The vehicle and driver stay with you throughout.
Drivers who run the expressway regularly, serviced vehicles, seat belts throughout and a first-aid kit on board for the longer drive.
Expressway tolls and parking are billed once for one vehicle instead of three, and the per-person cost drops with every extra passenger.

Pushback or reclining seats, generous legroom and a clean cabin make the five-hour expressway run genuinely restful.
Two days of bags for a full group fit in the rear luggage area, leaving the cabin uncluttered.
Air conditioning, charging points and, on select vehicles, an entertainment system for the longer drive.

A few words from families and groups who travelled with Parijat Tour and Travels.
We did a two-day Agra trip in the Force Urbania and it was worth every rupee. Left Lucknow at 4 am, saw the Taj at sunrise, and the driver handled the expressway and city parking without any fuss.
Travelled with three families in a 26-seater. The kids had space, the AC worked well through the afternoon, and the driver was patient with all our stops at Fatehpur Sikri and Mehtab Bagh.
Booked for a company outing to Agra. Clear quote, tolls explained upfront, and the vehicle reached our office on time both days. Far simpler than coordinating a dozen people on trains.
