The best part about Delhi is you get the best of both worlds; a great shopping experience and an enormous variety of historical attraction.

Of kings and palaces, from Delhi you can get to Jaipur, Pushkar, Haridwar, Shimla and a lot of other interesting places. Even the holy town of Kurukshetra is just over 140-minute drive away from Delhi. Most importantly, the conncetivity is very good from Delhi.

Again, hotels in Delhi are of varied types and can suit almost any pocket and choice.

Regards,

Jeev

Sure, it's possible. You can comfortably have your breakfast and then start for Agra. I believe you would go for car rental. That's actually convenient. Roam at a leisurely pace and you can easily get back before 9 p.m.

Regards.
