Taj Mahal, Agra



Recently we had a chance to visit Taj Mahal in Agra. We took Gatiman Express from Delhi to Agra and since it was winter time with dense fog, there was a delay in reaching Agra. Otherwise Gatiman express takes about 1hr 50 minutes to reach Agra from Delhi. Taj Mahal is one of the famous buildings in the world, the mausoleum of Shah Jahan’s favorite wife Mumtaz. It is one of the New Seven Wonders of the world and one of the world heritage sites in Agra. Agra is commonly identified as the ‘City of Taj’. The package had a buffet in the five star hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine, ambience and the hospitality. It was too crowded on that day since it was a long weekend and it was a herculean task to get an entry to Taj. We had to skip Agra fort and we caught the train in the last minute to Delhi with the same Gatiman Express.

Cheers,
