TAJ MAHAL.... beauty in the world!!!

Hello! There we are... When you ask someone about India, they can tell you probably a lot of things... from saris to Hindouism to ganges and spirituality... But one thing that everyone knows about India, is that the most famous building there is the Taj Mahal! So we arrived in Agra from...

Agra

After leaving Varanasi and it's lovely, friendly, helpful, honest rickshaw drivers we boarded the night train for the ride to Agra, mainly to see the Taj Mahal. We initially had lots of room in the carriage, there were us and an Indian couple in a carriage for 6, but this soon changed as they...

Taj Mahal

Whoa this feels like a long time ago now.. The night before we went the Taj Mahal, we stayed at a place near Agra called Bharatpur because our taxi driver, Mhabar (who we had been with for the past few days as this saved time compared to busing it, and wasn't too expensive) had invited us to...

Delhi Belly

Well, its nice to be out of the pollution of Delhi, not that Agra is much better. The Taj Mahal made it all worth it though. It is the most amazing place Ive ever been to. After the Taj I went to a town called fatepurh Sikra, where I spent a couple days getting accustomed to the Indian way of...

Red fort and Taj

We slept intermittently on the train. Went straight to the hotel for a shower - guess what? Yep it was cold!! Breakfast was on the rooftop terrace with a view of the Taj Mahal! On the way down to meet the group I (Trace) slipped down the stairs (marble of course!) and now have an amazing...

Taj Mahal

Took our second overnight train from Varanasi, arriving only 3 and a half hours late to Agra. Streets are very dirty and there's obviously been a lot of rain - there is water everywhere. there are people and animals and rubbish everywhere too. It's a bit of a dreary day and megan's fluey, so...

Day 13

Finally, the reason we're in India -- the Taj Mahal. As impressive the second time as the first. Here we hired a guide and it was worthwhile. We took our time to truly appreciate the building. Then back to the hotel in a carriage for a few hours of rest and realization before making the...

Day 12 (Continued)

Upon arrival in New Delhi, we were promptly met at the airport by our driver (no Dorji he) and began the arduous journey to Agra. I had forgotten how dirty, crowded, noisy, congested and completely poverty-ridden India is. It seemed to take forever to get out of New Delhi, and it was very hard...
