... of peace while in Agra. If you can make Agra just a day trip you will save yourself needless hassling. Agra is one of the few place in India where you can throw the baby out with the bath water. Don't trust anyone! The city recieves millions of ...
Agra
... see it before it got crowded. Wow. It really is a spectacular sight. From there we toured Agra Fort (another Mughal complex) and an old mausoleum. The most incredible thing about Agra (which, generally speaking, ...
Agra
So I'm in India. In Agra. Today I saw the Taj Mahal, which really is just as beautiful as they tell you it is. Sometimes, when people go on and on about some monument, I find that I'm not that impressed with it when I finally see it. Like, well, it's just ...
Argy, Bargy Agra!
... from pollution, but the result of this has left the local population poverty stricken). We saw more beggers here than anywhere else in India. It was a long, hard day, but certainly not worth staying overnight in Agra. We took a slow train back ...
State of Uttar Pradesh
... tipping twice - on Waz's credit card - we exited the life of the rich and famous and returned to stinky Agra. Aaaaaaaahhh :) Funny 4am autorickshaw trip to the station the next morning. Our driver from the Oberoi night before, obviously thought he ...
Delhi to Agra to see the Taj Mahal
... will be going to see the walled city/fort of Fatehpur Sikri which was also built by Akbar. Before I go a few interesting observations: - Agra is a dirty city with the smell of raw sewage near the Taj Mahal - Agra Fort is very nice and shows the wealth ...
Fatephur Sikri
This is the abandoned capital city of the Mughal emperor Akbar. He built it, used it for a while and then it was abandoned. First I went to the mosque, got hassled all the way round by unofficial guides who try and persuade you that they are workers and ...
Le clou du spectacle: le Taj Mahal
Pas grand-chose a dire sur Agra mais le Taj Mahal a lui seul merite une entree dans notre blog... Perfection de symetrie, purete du marbre blanc incruste de pierres semi precieuses, un mausolee construit par un homme inconsolable a la mort de sa femme. ...
The mighty Taj Mahal
... on chocolate crepes (or chocolate craps as they seem to be on most menu's here, they really shouldn't joke about that whilst in india!) Well i'm off, like beckham in many england games... we are getting up early to see the sunrise on the Taj, will get ...
Agra Videos
... videos of our trip to Agra... the shot out the window as we drive through the small town captures many of the classic images of India we have experienced since we got here, and this one little village had them all in a span of about 2 blocks. Then a ...
Agra-Cantttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
... enough to travel-just. However I would still be packing a spare of pants and feeling nauseous. If I come back to India I'm packing a few nappies for those absolutely, unmissable connections. Either that or just never booking ahead. Better to have the ...
Moving to Agra
Even waking up early, we had to leave our hotel in a rush to catch our 1st train in India to Agra. The platforms were full of people laying down, seated and eating on the floor. Some stopped trains had wagons crowed with heads coming out of the windows ...
Agra

Agra and Taj Mahal
We left Delhi to go to see the Taj Mahal, Agra. New Delhi train station was a job to get through in itself. Because Agra is such a tourist trap there were alot of beggars and scammers ready and waiting at the train station. We got lucky with our rickshaw ...
Jalgaon
... nauwelijk gezien, en de enige keer dat ze even achter het gordijntje vandaan kwam, natuurlijk in burka, ging ze buiten bidden. Agra is de armtierigste stad die we tot nu toe gezien hebben. Kleine straatjes met opdringerige mensen. Terwijl we in de ritsja ...
Inside the Taj Mahal
... BRANKO: We would like to take this opportunity to thank Branko once again for his help and hospitality during our stay in India. Without his help, the trip would have been much more difficult. If ever he comes to Louisiana, we would be ...

Taj Mahal
... ; Of course it was a set up to get a bigger tip, but we didn't care. That's just how things are in India. We spent a couple of hours walking through the grounds and buildings. It took 20,000 men to construct the building including hundreds of ...
Tour of Agra
Since I was in India, i figured that I had to go visit the Taj Mahal. Definitely the nicest thing in the whole country. It was definitely a sight to see standing more than 80 meters made entirely of white ...

... this side" "Oh! You're lucky! There's a ladies queue" Was? Cool! Ich liebe Ladies-Warteschlangen, zumindest in Agra. Da war naemlich genau niemand angestellt. Die lange Schlange waren nur Maenner und Frauen, die lieber mit ihren Maennern gleichzeitig ...
Taj Mahal, the first wonder of the world
... doing her justice. Ravi didn't really mind waiting, he said... "It's OK; I have Taj so I'm happy". As always in India when sketching I got a lot of attention and was something of a subject for photos. I didn't mind as all they people had ...
My Uncles Brothers Mother has cheap TUK TUK
... German couple who also got off at Agra. The train left the station and slowly began its journey, the trains are pretty slow in India, I am shocked they put 'Express' after the train name. Also the seats are as hard as wood so you have to shuffle to stop ...
The Taj Mahal and Fatipur Sikri
I commented last entry on what could I possibly say about the Taj Mahal that hasn't been said? Nothing. But it IS glorious, spectacular, inspiring, lovely, wonderful, pristine, exquisite, enveloping, calming: a wonder. ...
Finally - the Taj Mahal
... man cycling was definitely not going fast and at times we wanted to get out and walk a bit to give him a break. The noise of India has been quite an adjustment from our quiet little cul-de-sac in Bonavista to dogs and trains, horns and bells. And did I ...
