The chaos within asks for a perfect shot but perhaps nothing can ever capture the beauty of the #Taj

There are certain spots in Taj Mahal that can give you a clear and near-perfect shot but, needless to say, they are occupied by dozens of travellers like us. I could hardly get to any one of them. Now, going through these memories from a month earlier, I find that every shot from every spot had a different view and a different story to tell and I only hoped to do justice to that picture. 🙃

Random plans and random clicks…

One of the reasons I love Delhi is because there is so much to do and see around that I couldn’t ever get bored. It was my second trip to Agra and I am already thinking of taking another one. Agra is home to a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the seven wonders of the world, Taj Mahal, a mausoleum and a major factor in luring tourists from around the globe. Yes, it was filled to the brim during my visit but a few minutes inside were enough to stun me!!

Where to stay in Agra

Part of a successful visit to admire the spectacular Taj Mahal is keeping some distance from the monkeys. I was thrilled to be there; the feelings were not reciprocated by this guy. #incredibleindia #culture #tajmahal

Agra is a big city. As in any big city you will have the good the bad and the ugly. Be cautious, enjoy the food, and enjoy your trip. Taj Mahal is magical. Enjoy

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

You go to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and its worth the trip.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Agra is a place you don't want to spend more than a day at. Look at the Taj and leave!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Traffic is terrible and City is really polluted. No way you can walk for more than 5 minutes before a car almost runs over you.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Agra and the Agra Fort and Taj Mahal are once on a lifetime experiences.

Taj Mahal and walking around the Bazaar was interesting (marble/inlay artisans were incredible to watch).
