Agra: Day Tour | 1 Day
The city is known for the famous monument of love - the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal was constructed by the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jehan. It is said he built this monument in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is ethereal at any part of the day - blushing in the rosy glow of dawn or sunset, appearing like a pearly mirage in the moonlight or reflected in the pools of the garden. Perhaps the most moving view of the Taj is from an octagonal tower in the Agra Fort further along the river Yamuna.
