Agra Condos - Reviews and Rates

Waow...what more can I say. We visited the beautiful Taj Mahal at sunrise and it was well worth the early morning! The monument was lovely and quiet when we first arrived and with the sun rising and lighting it up, it felt like we had stepped into a fairytale. What a dedication of love...however to be skeptical about it all, the man had a palace...

On a wooden bench in late September, 2006, I struck up a conversation with a man who was waiting with me to see Old Faithful erupt. He was doing essentially the same trip I was - The Great American West via South Dakota, Yellowstone, and the Canyon lands - in the opposite direction. I told him that while my diligent mother had dragged me to near...

Udaipur was wonderful. Set on the shores of a small lake, it is described by many as the Venice of the East, with beautiful buildings and the famous Lake Palace, a floating white stone palace where the James Bond film Octopussy was filmed. Many guest houses put on a showing of the movie every night. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a rickshaw dr...

Our first overnight train ride in India - a tad squishy with all the luggage sharing our high berths, but otherwise comfortable enough to get some shuteye. Before long we were pulling into Agra, a last minute decision to stop and have a gawk at one of the "big seven". The Taj was appreciated from afar, our funds now vapourous at best, the entran...

7-12: I went back to Jama Masjid and it was well worth the double effort. I wouldn't consider it to be the most beautiful mosque I've seen but it certainly is the largest. Apparently it can hold 25,000 people. It has a huge courtyard with a "pool" in the middle where people can wash up. I then went to Connaught Place which has a round park in th...

everyone says agra is the most agitating place next to delhi when doing India....I say come in the summer and you have the whole place to yerself....and I found the best curd lassi in India...period....at the Taj cafe, check it out. The Taj Mahal, the qunitessential symbol of India, a massive marble monolith to the cruelty of life and love. Erec...

Well Merry Christmas to everyone reading this! Two interviews, and another day spent with some Indian stomach virus later we arrived in Agra. Home of the Taj Mahal, and thousands of Indian citizens wholly dependent on tourism to make a living.(A result of which means scams, and extremely pesty salesmen. My favorite scam I read about was one wher...

Hello!! We arrived into the Bharatpur train station around 4:15pm, then hailed a rickshaw across town to the bus station. We found the enquiry desk and asked what time the next bus left for Agra. Amazingly, the next bus left at 5pm! We couldn't have planned it any better. Another bus driver ensured we hopped onto the Agra bus when it arrived and...

Taj Mahal Great way to spend the last few days in India and indeed my whole trip. I arrived in Delhi with mixed expectations, due mostly to the political situation. Mixed because coming from Northern Ireland you get used to over dramatisation from the press of situations like this. Delhi itself did seem to have an air of trepidation and nerves a...
