The chaos within asks for a perfect shot but perhaps nothing can ever capture the beauty of the #Taj

There are certain spots in Taj Mahal that can give you a clear and near-perfect shot but, needless to say, they are occupied by dozens of travellers like us. I could hardly get to any one of them. Now, going through these memories from a month earlier, I find that every shot from every spot had a different view and a different story to tell and I only hoped to do justice to that picture. 🙃

We stayed here for a visit to the Taj Mahal. Unfortunately the room booked was very dirty and cleanliness was an issue. Dirty pillow covers and bathroom. We reported immediately and cleaners were sent, however this wasn't a great first impression. Eventually our room was changed to a bigger cleaner ...

Agra is a big city. As in any big city you will have the good the bad and the ugly. Be cautious, enjoy the food, and enjoy your trip. Taj Mahal is magical. Enjoy

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

You go to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and its worth the trip.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Agra is a place you don't want to spend more than a day at. Look at the Taj and leave!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Traffic is terrible and City is really polluted. No way you can walk for more than 5 minutes before a car almost runs over you.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Agra and the Agra Fort and Taj Mahal are once on a lifetime experiences.

3/5 - Okay

Taj Mahal and walking around the Bazaar was interesting (marble/inlay artisans were incredible to watch).
