ReplyDeleteTaj Mahal in Agra in such imposing and elegant structure full of complexities that one must borrow Gargantua’s mouth to describe About Taj Mahal salient features. This epitome of Mughal architecture is a world Heritage site and considered as one among the new 7 wonders of the World.
ReplyDeleteYou can reach the Taj Mahal from any part of India or the glove. Delhi is the nearest Internal Airport which is 230 km. far from Agra Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi by car is a very smart idea to travel using the Expressway. This takes nearly 3.5 hours driving in a Air controlled car.
