AGRA (23rd - 24th March)
As
we only had just over 1 day in Agra, we kept our sightseeing to a
minimum, however managed to visit Mehtab Bagh – a lovely garden and
lake area situated behind the famous Taj Mahal. This
offered fantastic uninterrupted views of the back of the Taj Mahal
and very few people. We were even lucky enough to have a herd of
goats pass us by!
*Dont
pay 100 Rupees ($2AUD) per person to enter the gardens, just take a
right instead of a left turn to have the same amazing views.*

We
decided to visit the Taj Mahal early to get there for sunrise and we
were lucky it was a nice clear morning, and we also avoided the huge
amounts of crowds that arrived as we were leaving!
The walk through the gates and to the Taj Mahal were lined with pretty gardens and grassed areas, and many cheeky monkeys and locals.

This
amazing mausoleum took 22 years to construct and was finally
completed in 1653.
