Visit Taj Mahal (Closed on every Friday) - The greatest love story ever told. On the death of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal, in wild extravagance, Shah Jahan built her this memorial. 20,000 men labored for over 22 years to build this wealth of white marble and precious stone. This magnificient tomb offers an altogether different experience bathed in the soft light of the morning, like a poem in marble. An ethereal atmosphere pervades the whole place in the quiet and the subdued light highlighting the beauty of the monument.

Visit Agra Fort, built by Emperor Akbar on the banks of Yamuna, beautified with palaces and gardens. Within the fort are the Khas Mahal, Sheesh Mahal (Miror Palace) and Anguri Bagh (Grape Garden). Many of the events, which led to the construction of the Taj Mahal, took place here. This fort also serves as a vantage location to have a fabulous glimpse of the Taj.

Visit of Fatehpur Sikri, located 40 Kms from Agra, the deserted city of Fatehpur Sikri was built by Emperor Akbar in 1569, in honour of the great Saint Sheikh Salim Chisti who blessed Akbar and prophesized the birth of three sons to the heirless Emperor. Akbar used Fatehpur Sikri as his capital and the city was fully occupied for 14 years but slowly became deserted and ruined after Akbar left the city. Scarcity of water was the prime factor for th abandonment of this beautiful city. Visit the remarkably well-preserved, graceful buildings within the 'Ghost City' including the Jama Masjid, Tomb of Salim Chisti, Panch Mahal Palace and other places the speak of the grandeur and splendor of the Mughal empire at the height of its power.
