hello, i am, rajan from,mumbai, i have been to dehli , and, agra, too, i think, its 4 hours, by train, no, ac, just catch trains, going, to agra, check, at new dehli, railway stn, its very near, 4 hours, u can take, by road, too, agra, but be aware, of pick pocketer,,and, dont chat w ith strangers ,ask, address only to shop, keepers,
Boarding any train will do as u will not be bothered by anyone on train if tickets are reserved and especially with AC.....For your information, AC First is the best available class on Indian Railways...after that AC second then AC third and then Sleeper (without AC).....check the train timings first and based on your convinence book it. If u find reservation available in Rajdhani/Shatabdi trains...it shud be preffered.
Official booking site is

I hope this will help

Hi,
I can recommend you two trains for Delhi/Agra sector -
1) Bhopal Shatabdi: Leaving delhi around 06:00 AM and arriving Agra by 08:00 AM
2) Taj Express: Leaving Delhi around 07:00 AM and arriving Agra around 10:00 AM
While returning also you can catch any of these trains as both the trains are scheduled to depart Agra in the evening.
If its for early July, you can book the tickets now to avoid further unavailability....

The best train to go from Delhi to Agra and back is the Shatabti Express. Train
# 2002 daily (except Friday when the Thaj is closed) Dep. Delhi at 06.15 Arr.
Agra 08.07. Train # 2001 Dep. Agra at 20.30 Arr. Delhi 22.30.
This is also the fastest train and gives you 1 whole day to visit the sites...

This is also the fastest train and that way you have 2 full days to visit all the sites. You should book the tickets now, even so July is not quite so busy...
...sorry, in my first post I didn't realize, that you wanted to spend 1 night in Agra - good idea, because then you don't have to rush to see everything.
Many thanks to everyone who answered.

Two daily trains, the Shatabdi Express and the Taj Express, make the trip from New Delhi to Agra and back.
The Shatabdi leaves New Delhi station at 6:15 A.M., arriving in Agra at 8:10 A.M. Coming back, the train leaves Agra at 8:18 P.M. and arrives in New Delhi at 10:25 P.M.
Ordinary class costs $17.25 round trip; executive class is $34.50.
The Taj leaves the Nizamuddin railway station in New Delhi at 7:10 A.M., arriving at 9:50 A.M. The train leaves Agra at 6:45 P.M., arriving in New Delhi at 9:45 P.M.
The round-trip fare is $10.45.
Up on the main road, Pusar Road, life was busily going by in various forms of transport. Whole wardrobes were trotted by on cycle rickshaws along with roughly stacked chairs and anything else that could be moved in this fashion. There were always the curious stares as I had come to experience but nothing of concern being a female on my own in such a busy area.
The `festival of colours' which marks the begining of spring and traces its origins to a tale of a victory of good over evil, is one of the big festivals on the calendar in India.
Its a day when people from all age groups get pasted with colour, streets are deserted for much of the day, and it is a national holiday of course. By the time the Holi activities ease out- around mid afternoon, everyone whos participated in the crazy fun ends up looking about the same shade of blue/black/green/red/whatever...
On the road between Delhi and Agra, we came across this cattle market, and stopped to take some photographs. I was amazed at the number of cattle in one place, but also why? as they don't eat the meat because the cow is sacred.
This shop has a very good range of clothes.the kurtas are beautiful and the styling is good.the stitching is good and the quality is very good.the price is truly reasonable considering the quality.the price maybe more than what you will find on pavements,but the quality is much better. Kurtas,kurtis,salwar suits,dupattas,churidhars and mix and match items. the prices are fixed and it is reasonable.YOu will get kurtas for Rs.275 and above.
It's very easy to move in Delhi in ricksaw. In spite of the traffric:cars, motorbikes, bicicles.., you will enjoy ricksaws!! It's better to fix teh prices before the ride or you can have problems! we took different ricksaws to go to the same area, even the saem place , and the give us different prices so it's better to ask for a cheaper place if you think the one given is too much!
