Getting to Agra

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Agra Cantt

train · 2h

₹500

1 way / person

Delhi → Agra

cab · 3.5h

₹4,500

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Agra Cantt by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,000 — so a whole trip lands near ₹8,365 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Agra's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
