 10:00 A.M – Splendid Tour of  Taj Mahal:
Our first destination in Agra is none other than the splendid Taj Mahal, the Symbol of Love, and the Seventh Wonder of the World. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife MumtajMahal, TajMahal stands proudly on the banks of river Yamuna, attracting millions of tourists every single year.

The story behind Taj is – Mumtaj Mahal died while giving birth to her 14th child. Shah Jahan, who was passionate about his wife, decided to build something equally beautiful as his wife. So he employed 25,000 people for straight 22 years to build this majestic monument. TajMahal is called the Symbol of Love due to a reason – it reflects the true love of a husband for his wife.

Spend some time at this place appreciating the beauty of the monument and the love of the emperor before heading towards our next destination, the Agra Fort.
