Quote: Oh, the Taj. Really, the whole trip is worth it just for the Taj. But first, a history lesson. The Taj Mahal, meaning "Crown Palace," was constructed in the 17th century by Shah Jehan, one of the great Mughal Emperors of India, as a tomb for his... Read the full Taj Mahal (ताज महल) review

The Taj Mahal

Quote: All the hype it gets... well, it deserves it. The Taj is breathtaking, even for the most jaded traveler. We endured a hellish bus ride to get there and India's most aggressive auto-rickshaw stalkers to witness the Taj, and all we can say was that... Read the full Taj Mahal (ताज महल) review

Quote: The Taj is amazing in every sense and will not disappoint. Plan to spend the most part of a morning or afternoon to take it all in. If you're in Agra for the day, it's interesting to see the Taj take on different colors as the day... Read the full Taj Mahal (ताज महल) review

The Taj Mahal
Quote: The approach to the Taj is disappointingly commonplace- Agra’s dusty and drab, and nothing in town really prepares you for the Taj. The road’s dirty and narrow; the main gate to the Taj- a red sandstone structure- is pleasing enough; but you don’t... Read the full Taj Mahal (ताज महल) review
