TAJ MAHAL - " The Epitome of Love "
After a long break , Recently , I visited the TAJ MAHAL the most awaited trip , because it was " TAJ MAHAL " and also we were there to celebrate our first wedding anniversary ( Blush Blush ) @ the symbol of LOVE : D . So this time I ' m not going to share much about the information or facilities in Agra , as there are hundreds of websites doing that . After an overnight train from Ahmedabad we arrived Agra fort The railway station , at 830 in the morning . A crowded railway station , with all sort of people , Perhaps some were there for business , some for weddings & the rest were tourist like me . After a lot of research about Agra city , lot of blogs said you have to be careful with your belongings , people may cheat you there and all other stuff , thankfully we didn ' t face any of such things .
We hired a rickshaw , after 15 minutes of debate the driver finally agreed to take us to the hotel which we had Pre -
booked . The Agra fort railway station is very close to the Agra Fort , which is a UNESCO heritage site . Just outside the railway station there are lots of food stalls which serve different types of Parathas ( Indian stuffed Rotis / Breads ) , which looked really tempting , as we was not sure of the hygiene we did not try any .
The rickshaw drove us to our hotel , which looked good . Without wasting any time we had some Kachori ( Indian dish ) which tasted different from the one ' s I had tried before . Done with our breakfast we again took rickshaw to spend rest of the day at Taj Mahal . We could get a glimpse of the TAJ when we drove closer to it . Living in India , we have visited many places but have never visited Taj Mahal & so this tour was very much awaited . The rickshaw dropped us at the entrance of the premises , from where the TAJ was another 2 KMS from where , buggy ' s were available at only INR 10 Per Person which took us till the ticket counter .
We bought tickets and also hired a certified Guide . There were lots of pre heard stories about Taj Mahal , but differed from the one which " MR " guide shared . Sometimes I feel that , whenever you visit a historical monument or any such place which has significant history you always get to hear many stories related to it , but you never understand which is the true one , it ' s like reading a story book which has so many elements in it .
