India 2024

Exlored Agra

Monday 11th March 2024

We visited the Taj Mahal in the morning. This great world wonder dates to the glory days of India’s Mughal emperors. It took 20,000 skilled labourers to create this mausoleum and memorial to Shah Jahan’s favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Some see it as a sad and mournful creation, but others celebrate the romance and love behind its story. Although we all had access to wander inside, (shoe-less), it was forbidden to take any photgraphs.

We visited Agra’s imposing Fort in the afternoon, a walled city of palaces, mosques, halls and residences occupied for more than 900 years.

We stopped overnight again at ITC Mughal in Agra.
