Taj Mahal and Agra Fort
- Pick from your hotel and drive further to Agra, beautifully situated on the banks of river Yamuna. It achieved prominence as the capital of the Mughal Emperors from 1526 to 1628 and remains a major tourist destination because of its many splendid Mughal-era monuments, most notably the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort & Fatehpur Sikri. All three are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
- Today we visit the Taj Mahal, a symbol of eternal love, which stands on the banks of River Yamuna. It was built by the 5th Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, in 1631 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It was completed in 22 years.
- Further, we visit Agra Fort, taken over from the Lodhis by the Mughal Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century. The Fort can be more accurately described as a walled palatial city, and it was built from red sandstone, often inlaid with white marble & intricate decorations.
