I always thought it might be just like many other Mughal palaces and forts in India only with white marble but when I first looked at it I was mesmerized by its beauty. It is definitely the epitome of architecture and beauty. A must visit place.

The Taj Mahal, a magnificent white marble mausoleum located in Agra, India, is a breathtaking masterpiece of Mughal architecture. It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. This iconic monument is renowned worldwide for its timeless beauty and historical significance. The Taj Mahal's awe-inspiring symmetry and intricate details reflect the meticulous craftsmanship of the artisans. There are 11 tombs + 11 tombs at the main gate marking the 22 years it took to build Taj Mahal. There are a total of 16 gardens and 53 fountains marking the year 1653 as the year of completion. Visiting the Taj Mahal is a sensory experience, with its serene atmosphere and the Yamuna River flowing nearby. Be watchful for weekend visits as the crowd goes upto 40-50 k easily In conclusion, the Taj Mahal is an architectural marvel, a testament to love, and a must-visit for anyone exploring India's rich history and culture.

Had a great experience and the Taj Mahal is truly breathtaking. Would also recommend Alankar Gupta as a guide he was very knowledgeable. If I didn’t have a guide I’d just be looking at a beautiful building with my guide I experienced the wonder.

The visit to the Taj Mahal was akin to entering a dream. Everything about the Hotel Krishna in Agra was cozy and delightful. It was a beautiful site. Mr. Raju, our tour guide, brought the Taj Mahal to life with his enormous knowledge about its history. My Papa handled the congested streets of Agra like an expert. The Taj Mahal will always hold a special place in my heart as a result of my journey which left me with a lovely recollection.

Visiting the Taj Mahal was a dream come true. This ivory masterpiece, framed by lush gardens, seemed almost surreal. I would wholeheartedly recommend this pilgrimage to anyone seeking to be captivated by one of the world's most iconic landmarks.

It's a cliche, I know, but the pictures of the Taj do not do the place justice. It is absolutely majestic and glitters in the sunlight. Buying tickets at the kiosk is a snap. You pass through security and then into the sanctuary area which is wide and majestic. There is a queue to get into the building, although honestly the inside is not much. The site requires a good deal of walking and people with mobility issues will have trouble because it is not handicap accessible. The area around the site can be dangerous. People have had their backpacks ripped open and purses snatched. Avoid the monkeys.

This was our 2nd time visiting Taj Mahal . Right when you get to the entrance , you would think that you’ve seen it on TV numerous times and when you see it physically, it’s another story . I’ll spare you the history, everyone knows Moghul Emperor Shahjahan built this tomb after his wife Mumtaz Mahal died . Just imagine this was built during 1631-1658 manually . Located in Agra . I would suggest the travelers to do below to make your life easier . 1. Get the upper class ticket to visit the entire terrace 2. Get an official tourist guide , this is mandatory 3. Stay closer or in the same vicinity , during summer you can clearly see the sunrise 4. Reach there early to take those special photographs , there are thousands of people around .

We were there around 6 in the morning. It was already very crowded. Dont take too much with you, especially dont take a tripod or something similar, they won’t let you pass. On the way to the gate and also in the park there are a lot of photographers, tour guides,.. who will try to sell you and wont stop if you already said no. The last resort is to just ignore them straight away. Buy a ticket online beforehand, it saves some time. Taj Mahal itself is beautiful but we had the bad luck that there was a lot of smog in the city, so also at the Taj Majal itself.

I always wanted to see the Taj Mahal and finally I did!!! Making the trip to Agra will stay with you forever and I highly recommend that each one makes that visit in their lifetime. This experience was up their with my visit to the pyramids and Petra. Having a guide is recommended so you can understand the whole love story. Arrive in awe and leave thunderstruck ❤️❤️❤️

What is there to add.... It's one of the go to places when visiting India. It is awesome. Try and go early & catch the sunrise... It's very busy, but there are quite places and solitude to be found. As usual, oursudis decay & despair within 50 metres.
