The structure, based on Persian designs, Turkish designs was designed by a team of architects headed by Shah Jahan and executed in phases. Several other structures are also attributed to him, including Delhi Jama Masjid and Red Fort in Delhi.
After exploring the Taj Mahal, your guide will lead you to a restaurant in Agra for a delectable Indian style or western style lunch. When your bellies are full, head off to Mehtab Bagh – known as Moonlight Gardens in English – where stunning photos of Taj Mahal at sunset await. Afterward, sample local delicacies such as petha- a popular Agra sweet made of cubed pieces of ash gourd that has been boiled before being dunked in syrup syrup!
As the tour comes to a close, you will return by train to Delhi and be dropped off at either a central location or airport – providing ample opportunity for rest and relaxation before your next excursion!
