AGRA
Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning, visit the Taj Mahal, a monument of impressive beauty. It took 22 years and 20,000 men to build it. All white marble was quarried 320 km away and transported to the site by a fleet of 1,000 elephants. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as an expression of his love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal in the mid-17th century, the Taj Mahal is truly one of the wonders of the world. Visit Agra Fort, an outstanding example of Mughal architecture. The Fort was the seat and stronghold of the Mughal Empire for several generations. It is on the banks of the river Yamuna. The rest of the day is free for optional activities (not included).
