Delhi-Agra-Jaipur-Bikaner-Jaisalmer-Mumbai - 14 Days
Visit the world famous Taj Mahal built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in 1630 for his Queen Mumtaz Mahal to enshrine her mortal remains. The construction is believed to have taken 22 years to complete with over 20,000 craftsmen working round the clock.
Agra has a magnificent fort and the building which many people come to India solely to see - the Taj Mahal. Situated on the banks of the Yamuna River, Agra, with its crowded alleys and predatory rickshaw riders, is much like any other north Indian city, once you're away from its imposing Mughal monuments. It's possible to take a day trip to Agra from Delhi (there's an excellent train service making this eminently practicable); however, Agra is worth more than a day's visit, particularly if you intend to visit, as you certainly should, the deserted city of Fathehpur sikri. Agra became the capital of Sikandar Lodi in 1501, but was soon passed on to the Mughals, and both Babur and Humayun. made some early Mughal constructions here.'It was under Akbar that Agra first aspired to its heights of magnificence. He built the Jama Masjid, most of the palace buildings inside the and, of course, the Taj Mahal. In 1638 a new capital - complete with a Red Fort and Jama Masjid - were started in Delhi and the capital was moved there in 1648.In 1761, Agra fell to the Jats who did much damage to the city and its monuments, even going so far as to pillage the Taj Mahal. is on the west bank of the Yamuna •Mver, 204 km south of Delhi. The old part of the town, where you'll find the main mar ket place in a narrow street (Kinari Bazaar), is north of the fort. The cantonment area to the south is he modem part of town, known as Sadar Bazaar. On The Mall are the tourist office, GPO and poster restate. In this area you will also find handicraft shops, restaurants and many moderately priced Agra hotels.
