Agra Campgrounds - Reviews and Rates

Here I am in Varanasi. I can hardly believe it but this is the last
stop in this part of my Indian adventure. Tomorrow I fly to Kathmandu.

I think the last time I updated this blog I was in Agra so I'll try and remember what I have done since then!

So the Taj......

I was up nice and early to beat the heat and the hoards o...

We took the train first thing in the morning from Delhi. That was a little adventure in itself as the taxis pulled up at Delhi Central station. We crossed the carpark of usual pandemonium with the addition of suitcases strewn across the paths, and huge carts carrying boxes and cargo blocking the pavements. We entered the forecourt and swam throu...

The alarm was set for 6.20 and it was the speediest we'd ever got up and out of the room. 7am found us in the line up at the East Gate, and a short 10 mins later, we were there. Ahead of us was the Taj Mahal. It truly is spectacular. Nothing, no photo, no image, no description can ever quite prepare you for it. We were there for sunrise, but the...

I flew out of Japan on April 25th with my friend Isaac. We arrived in Delhi at 2:30am, and took a cab to our mothball invested hostel for 3 hours of sleep before waking up and driving to Agra. We took off at 8am and arrived around 12 in our private air-conditioned car. In Agra we first visited Itimad-Ud-Daulah (otherwise known as the Baby Taj)-...

Got up incredibly early to catch the 7:15am train to Agra, and apparently this is unusual.. it was on time! The Air con in the carriages were quite cold but I think as we had good seats it wasn't quite as hectic as in other parts of the train. First stop was the Red Fort, what an impressive place, we had a great guide who made the tour really fu...

Visited Taj Mahal. Got hassled for my empty "money purse"

A truly undisappointing landmark. I didn't want to leave the grounds.

A once in a lifetime trip to the Taj Mahal with both my sisters. Something that I never dreamed we would be able to do. It was a very speedy trip because one sister was only in India for a week, so after spending a day in Goa we flew Spice Jet to Delhi. Nice flight around 4 hours..spice jet do not give you any food on this flight (just a cookie!...

I foolishly thought I'd try and get a good night's rest before having to get up at 4am to get the 5am bus out of Khajuraho which would take us to Jhansi then we'd get a train on to Agra to meet the seppos, Meg and Ryan. At about 23.30, three rooms full of Koreans started taking showers, washing their clothes, running up and down the corridors an...

Hi, After a short bustrip I arrived in Agra. I checked in in the Tourist Guest Home which was marked as the best option in the LP. Fine room for 250 rp with a nice garden where you can order a drinks/meals and sit and relax. The next morning I went up early to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise. The Taj was built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum f...
