Agra: Home of the majestic Taj Mahal
Agra has been a highly sought after tourist destination for both national and international tourists for quite a long time. It is the most famous for the majestic Taj Mahal, that is one of the Seven Wonders of the World as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It speaks not just of the architectural prowess of the Mughals but also stands proof of the legendary love story of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz.
Tourist attractions in Agra
Apart from the world-famous Taj Mahal, Agra has a lot of lesser-known tourist attractions that are sure to provide a memorable holiday experience for you and your family. Most people visit the Taj Mahal complex but overlook the beauty of the lush green Mehtab Bagh that is studded with the exquisite brilliance of horticulture at its finest. Similarly, visiting the culturally rich Korai Village that is home to the Kalandar tribe is another off-beat tourist attraction in Agra.
Things to do in Agra
A fun tour for the family in Agra awaits at the Keoladeo Ghana National Park which is yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site. For couples visiting Agra, a relaxing and romantic boat ride on the Yamuna River during sunset is part of the several things to do in Agra. For a truly underrated and offbeat experience in Agra, visiting the Sheroes Hangout, a restaurant run by acid attack survivors, is something socially enlightening for all.
