What to expect
Delhi and Agra in 2 days
- Taj Mahal in Agra. When you see it in person, you will understand why it is called the eighth wonder of the world. This magnificent mausoleum palace was built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his deceased wife and is considered a symbol of love and fidelity. It is said that after the completion of construction, the workers had their hands cut off so they could never repeat such work again. Our guide will share the poignant story of the Taj Mahal with you.
