This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Taj Mahal, Dharmapuri, Forest Colony, Tajganj, Agra 282001 India
Taj Mahal is considered one of the architectural marvels of the world and a symbol of enduring love. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built this monument in loving memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz. The monument was built in around 42 acres of land with pure white marble brought from various places across the world. It is believed that the emperor chose this particular spot along the banks of Yamuna because of its peaceful and calmness. And it now one of the seven wonders of the world and also recognized as one among the world heritage sites.
It’s one of those places that not only meets but beats expectations. This is an excellent tribute to eternal love. Just a phrase is enough to express the beauty “WAAH TAJ.”
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Agra Fort Rakabgani, Agra 282003 India
The magnificent fort consists of various amazing structures like the Jahangir Mahal, Khas Mahal, Diwan-I-Khass, Diwan-I-Am, Machchhi Bhawan and Moti Masjid, a jasmine tower, a mirror palace (Shish Mahal), courtrooms and the remains of Akbar’s once grand royal residence. The whole Agra fort architecture is like an underground network hub interconnected through passages and other underground pathways to various places. A few of these is like a secret passage to access during times of emergency. Another such passage is connecting the fort to the banks of river Yamuna situated close to the Water Gate.
