The third leg of the Golden Triangle, done right — with Fatehpur Sikri en route.
Quick Answer
Out of Jaipur, NH-21 takes you east through Dausa and Bharatpur, joining the Agra approach from the west. The road is reasonable, though not expressway-grade. Most groups leave Jaipur after a mid-morning breakfast, do Fatehpur Sikri en route as a 2-hour stop, then arrive in Agra by late afternoon. The drive itself is unremarkable; the stops make it worth the time.
This drive is the standard Day 3 of a Delhi → Jaipur → Agra → Delhi loop. The smart sequence is: morning sightseeing in Jaipur (Amber Fort, City Palace), leave Jaipur after lunch, hit Fatehpur Sikri in late afternoon, check into Agra in the evening, and visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise the next morning.
