Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
The Taj Mahal and Agra Fort
In the early hours of the day, you will have the chance to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise (closed on Fridays). The Taj Mahal stands as a testament to the greatest love story ever told. After the death of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan commissioned this grand memorial in her honor. Over 20,000 workers labored for 17 years to complete this magnificent structure, crafted from white marble and adorned with precious stones. Return to the hotel for breakfast, and then head out to visit the Agra Fort. Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most impressive Mughal forts in India. Built in the 16th century, this red sandstone fortress played a significant role in India’s history, particularly during the 1857 Rebellion. The fort’s design and architecture reflect the military and cultural influences of the Mughal era. Then finally, the rest of the day is at your leisure.
