Catch the Taj Mahal under the moonlight
and you will begin to believe in eternal love! The white magic of the marbled
structure is such that if you are married, you would want to fall in love with
your partner once again, and if you are single, you would want to seek love.
Welcome to Agra! Yes, this is the city
that harbors the unique Taj Mahal.
Tourism Agra
Agra is a bustling city of Uttar Pradesh,
located on the banks of the holy River Yamuna. The city harbors several
important tourist destinations. They showcase India’s royal past and rich
heritage. They portray the extravaganza of India’s Emperors, their hobbies,
their emotions, and tales of their gallantries.
Besides the Taj Mahal, you can find the
magnificent Agra Fort here. It was built in red sand stone by Emperor Akbar. It
is located about 2.5 kms northwest to the Taj Mahal. It, too, is recognized as
UNESCO World Heritage Site like the Taj Mahal.
A trip to North India is incomplete
without a trip to Agra.
Tours
that take you to Agra in luxury
Tour plans like Gems of India, Heritage
of India, Treasures of India, Indian Splendor, and Indian Panorama give you an
opportunity to visit this historical city. These are tours of the Maharajas’
Express – India’s most expensive luxury train and the one bestowed by several
national and international awards.
A number of prestigious travel magazines
look upon this luxury train of India with high regards. It has received the
“World’s Leading Luxury Train” award consecutively for five years from 2012 to
2016. The train is regarded as the Orient Express of the East.
Traveling to Agra in this train is
different from traveling in a regular mode of transportation. You may have been
to Agra several times before, but journeying through the Maharaja train offers
a unique experience. You don’t feel like a tourist. You feel like a royal guest
who has come to pay a tribute to the world famous love site – the Taj Mahal.
Agra
comes in the Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle is a tourist circuit
or route that connects cities like Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. It is so called
because of the triangle shape that forms on the map when the three cities are
connected.
Most of the Golden Triangle tours begin
in Delhi. The Maharajas’ Express offers two exclusive Golden Triangle tours:
Gems of India and Treasures of India. These tours begin in Delhi and end here. The
other tours contain this tourist circuit.
Tourism in Agra has received a boost due
to the conceptualization of the Golden Triangle, say industry experts. The
connecting cities are easy to visit and offer a fair glimpse of India’s history
and culture. You get an essence of the “royal-ness” of the country.
Moreover, traveling in the Maharaja
train soaks you in royalty. You feel like a king or a queen. It is an
altogether different experience. A journey on board this luxury train should be
in your list of things to do before you die.
