Upon arrival in Agra: A tour of the Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is the first and most spectacular site to see when you arrive in Agra. As you approach the monument, your guide will present a brief history of this spectacular edifice. Millions of people travel from all over the world to see the Taj Mahal, which was constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan as a monument to his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.
Investigating the Taj Mahal
It is quite breathtaking to walk through the elaborate gates and see the Taj Mahal for the first time. With its precise symmetry and elaborate ornamentation, the white marble monument is striking against the Yamuna River backdrop. Your tour guide will enhance your experience by taking you through the Taj Mahal’s history, architecture, and untold tales behind its construction.
You will have plenty of time to visit the guest house, the mosque, and the gardens of the Taj Mahal. It’s better to witness the monument mirrored in the center pool in person, so don’t forget to take breathtaking pictures of it. The tour guide will also regale you with intriguing insights regarding Mughal architecture and the skill that goes into the pietra dura, or marble inlay work.
A glimpse of Mughal royalty at Agra Fort
UNESCO has designated the beautiful Agra Fort as a World Heritage Site, and it is the next trip after seeing the Taj Mahal. The Mughal monarchs’ primary palace was formerly this red sandstone fort. Erected by the 16th-century Emperor Akbar, it functioned as both a royal residence and a military outpost.
The Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the Musamman Burj—where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son Aurangzeb—are just a few of the important areas of the fort that your guide will take you through. The fort’s historical and architectural charm are enhanced by its expansive vistas of the Taj Mahal in the distance.
Taking a Lunch Break to Taste Agra’s Cuisine
You should have developed an appetite by now! East Traveler Company makes sure you eat a delectable lunch at one of the best restaurants in Agra. A wide range of regional cuisines, including aromatic curries and freshly made bread, will be available for you to sample, giving you a genuine experience of North Indian food. The tour operator will take care of any dietary requirements you may have in order to make sure your meal is enjoyable.
Baby Taj, Itmad-ud-Daulah: A Quiet Treasure
Following your meal, you will go to Itmad-ud-Daulah, often known as the “Baby Taj.” It is believed that the elaborate marble work on this lesser-known monument, which was constructed before the Taj Mahal, served as inspiration for the Taj’s design. It is a stunning tomb. The Baby Taj is a wonderful site to explore sans the big crowds because of its serene settings and location along the banks of the Yamuna River.
Many tourists frequently miss the mausoleum because of its fine inlay work, modest size, and tranquil mood, which provide a lovely contrast to the Taj Mahal’s majesty. Your guide will share insights into the life of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, for whom the mausoleum was built, and his ties to the Mughal court.
Mehtab Bagh is an optional stop for a sunset view.
If you have time, you should visit Mehtab Bagh, a stunning garden located across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal, to cap off your day. This location provides an amazing view of the Taj Mahal, particularly in the evening. It is a breathtaking sight to see the Taj Mahal turn from ivory white to golden hues as the sun sets behind it.
Stories about the garden’s past and its importance during the Mughal Empire will be told by your guide. With one final breath-taking vista of the Taj Mahal before returning to Delhi, it’s the ideal way to end your trip to Agra.
Buying Handicrafts and Souvenirs in Agra
Agra is well-known for its customary handicrafts, which include jewelry, leather products, and inlay work on marble. You will have the chance to visit local artisan workshops or markets before you depart, where you can purchase one-of-a-kind mementos. The city is well-known for creating beautiful tiny reproductions of the Taj Mahal in addition to high-quality textiles and carpets. To make sure you bring home a piece of Agra’s workmanship, your guide may suggest the best places to shop.
Go back to Delhi
