[Edit description for Agra]

The Taj Mahal presides over the numerous 'lodges' and hotels offering tourists from all over the world a room with the view, the view of the Taj. Many travellers remark that the majesty of the Taj is overpowering. It is a feeling of elation when one finally crosses the threshold and enters into the main compound to come face to face with the Taj Mahal. It is hard to believe that someone would love someone so much as to build this for her.

The Agra Fort: An imposing structure mostly made of red sandstone. The place where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son the usurper Aurangazeb.

Faterhpur Sikri: 35 km from Agra. A world heritage site.

Shopping: Lots of marble products inlaid with precious stones.

Tasty food especially sweets like 'murabba'.

What a difference a day makes.

Jan 21, 2008 - Jul 23, 2008

Chicago, Illinois, USA -› Osaka, Japan -› ...

It was our last day in India, but our flight wasn’t until 6pm, so we decided to visit another sight here in Agra. The official name is Itmad-ud-Daulah’s Tomb, but because it has some similarities to the Taj Mahal (some say it was the inspiration), the locals just call it “Baby Taj.”Being short of rupees, we took the hotel’s car $ervice so that we could put the expense on the hotel bill. On the way, there was the usual hodgepodge of commerce and chaos on the street. It was...

My Date With Taj

Oct 16, 2007 - Oct 20, 2007

Delhi, India -› Jaipur, India -› ...

After having such a great time in Jaipur, it was time to leave for Agra. This was the last city that we would visit to complete our Golden Triangle trip. It was another 5 hours journey, and man, the road to Agra from Jaipur was a lot worse than the road from Delhi to Jaipur. I was sleeping at the start of the trip and then I was awaken with the constant rocking, Santosh was driving like mad, and he sang louder today. After few days in India, the sight of elephant, camel and other livestock on...

Agra, where everyone goes to the Taj Mahal

Nov 04, 2005 - Nov 12, 2005

Taipei, Taiwan -› New Delhi, India -› ...

We arrived in Agra about 7am, sooner than our tour guide had mentioned. He later told us about why he was hestitant to give estimates of how long it took, because sometimes 100 km can take MANY hours, you just never know what to expect! So it was better to set our expectations low. With the hazy daylight after the sun rose, we could see the road we were travelling, and people along the road. There were women carryinging water vases on their head walking in the field, there were kids ...

Agra, The Taj Mahal.

Feb 26, 1990 - Mar 09, 1990

Delhi, India -› Jaipur, India -› ...

March 3rd 1990. Agra, The Taj Mahal, and my Bargaining technic. We were all up extra early and had to be out on foot on the way to the Taj Mahal by 6am, and with no breakfast! The temperature was nice, cool and fresh, just right for a brisk mile walk. The need was to be there ready to take photographs of the Taj with the dawn light behind the monument. When we arrived it was to find there were heaps of people already there, waiting for the dawn light, still it was no problem as ther...
