DRIVE
TO AGRA ABOUT 5 HOURS
You will visit the fabulous deserted
city of Emperor Akbar at Fatehpur Sikri en
route.
AGRA
Agra, home to the world famous Taj Mahal, unfortunately
teems with hawkers and can be both noisy and dirty. However
amidst this chaos is one of the most beautiful buildings
in the world. A first visit to north India is incomplete
without a visit to Agra and all it has to offer. The Taj
Mahal is traditionally viewed at both dusk and dawn to capture
the magnificent light. As well as the Taj it is recommended
to visit Agra Fort across the River Yamuna. The Taj Mahal
is closed all day on Fridays, so this should be taken into
account when planning an itinerary
In the afternoon visit Agra Fort
with its spectacular views across the River Yumana towards
the Taj. Finally see the monument itself at sunset, a time
when the golden light shimmers on the marble and jewel rich
inlays. A time for reflection on the intricate craftsmanship
and beauty before you. (The Taj is closed on Fridays).
