Taj Mahal Magic

I'd travel to India just to see the Taj Mahal itself, it's the highlight of the trip for us really.  Leaving Dehli, we arrive in Agra in the afternoon by train.



The Taj Mahal is stunning. Everything I'd hoped it would be and more. It's elegant, and grand. We arrive st sunrise.
Just down the road is Agra Fort and it's equally as interesting as the Taj.


There's not much to do in Agra itself and for the numbers of tourists it's quite surprising there's not more going on. But it is interesting to see the town and everyday life.


Two nights here was more than enough. I'd recommend staying close by and getting there early. That way you get the place almost to yourselves.

My India... Agra... Surrounding White Stone Mountain, a circular array of park like grounds await the monkeys, playing hookie with anything that moves. A maze of bricks and mortar lead our packs past doorways of Chai tea. This tastes great man, so damn fine this Tai chi is (when I think about it), it chops sand into blocks, marbling at the incredible beauty of Taj. 
Eyes... too expensive for Mahal to afort. Shut the gate, the suns arrived. Peace (kf2024)
