Agra: The City of Eternal Love and Splendor
Agra instantly brings to mind the majestic Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. But beyond this world-famous monument lies a vibrant city filled with history, culture, and unforgettable experiences. Welcome Taj Tour invites you to explore not just the Taj Mahal but the soul of Agra – a place where stories from the Mughal Empire come to life, and every corner exudes charm and wonder.
1. The Taj Mahal: A Timeless Symbol of Love
No trip to Agra is complete without witnessing the Taj Mahal, a breathtaking testament to love and architectural genius. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of Mumtaz Mahal, the white marble wonder leaves visitors spellbound, especially during sunrise and sunset when its hues shift with the changing light.
Take your time as you walk through the serene Taj Gardens, and capture stunning views of the Taj Mahal from Mehtab Bagh, a garden across the Yamuna River. At Welcome Taj Tour, we offer carefully crafted itineraries ensuring you experience the Taj at its most magical moments.
2. Agra Fort: The Grandeur of the Mughal Empire
Step into history at the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once served as the residence of the Mughal emperors. Its towering red sandstone walls, intricate palaces, and majestic halls showcase a perfect blend of strength and beauty.
Let us guide you through its iconic landmarks like the Jahangir Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, and Diwan-i-Khas, while unraveling the fascinating stories of royal life and Mughal opulence.
3. Itimad-ud-Daula: A Gem Known as the ‘Baby Taj’
This exquisite tomb, often called the “Baby Taj,” is a must-visit for its intricate artistry and serene surroundings.
