While we now embark on this 1 year journey, we thought we must start from India, and from the land of love i.e. Agra!
We we booked a 1 way ticket to Delhi, hopped on a train to Agra and visited the Agra Fort (this is also called the Lala Quila), the Taj Mahal and Itmad-ud-Daula.
Agra isn't a modern city and still feels like I am in 1980s India. Very disappointing!
At Agra Fort
You can see the Taj Mahal & the Yamuna River in the background.
Entering the Taj Mahal at 6:00 AM the next day.
Seeing it for the first time, I got goosebumps. Almost had tears in my eyes.
The was drizzling all morning, however that meant we had less crowds and more opportunity to take photos.
Our guide was a decent photographer too.
Even on a cloudy morning the Taj looked phenomenal.
One of the exit gates, I suppose.
We then went to Itmad-ud-Daula, and the stone work was a piece of art.
We met this Bengali couple and they took our photo. May be it's just me, and my photo skills, but I need to take 15 photos to just get that 1 perfect photo. 😁
