Agra is the home to one of the most visited tourist destinations of India. Being one of the seven wonders of the world, Taj Mahal resembles paradise on earth. The main attraction of the Taj Mahal is the architectural beauty, carvings, lattice works, sandstone inlay work, garden and the massive Taj Museum. Located very close to the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort is a heritage site. History unfolds in front of your eyes as you walk through the many structures inside the fort, like Diwan-i-Khas, Khaas Mahal, etc. Fatehpur Sikri, an ancient, abandoned city was designed to be the capital of Mughal. The town was built and established by Akbar and later abandoned. Another Mughal mausoleum on the bank of the river Yamuna is Itmad-Ud-Daulah’s Tomb. The architecture and interior are known to be inspired by that of Taj Mahal’s as it also has traces of white marble from Rajasthan amidst the red sandstone. Mehtab Bagh, a hidden gem, stands at the North of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort along the bank of river Yamuna. The garden is a char bagh that stands perfectly in symmetry with the view of the Taj Mahal.  Wildlife SOS, a rescue and conservation organization, works on rescue operations and conservation of bears and has recently made the bear rescue facility open for visitors. A special trail, called Taj Nature Walk serves as a great place to enjoy amazing views of the Taj Mahal. It also has many watchtowers along the trail from where you can view the Taj Mahal from different angles. The traditional bazaars of Agra are a must visit for all the shopping lovers. Kinari Bazaar will dazzle you with a plethora of colorful shops, and you can shop for many items like embroidered fabrics, jewelry, carpets, and woven products.
