Wake up at 5h30am to see the Taj Mahal, found out it was world heritage day (all buildings visit free in the city!!) and then went to see marble carving.

Our bus left Jaipur at 15.30 pretty much on time amazing in itself, we settled for the deluxe bus which is anything but, we have come to accept this as the norm now. We arrived in Agra an hour late somehow just before ten o'clock but were greeted by a rickshaw driver from the guest house. He took us straight there before agreeing to pick us up f...

We left Delhi first thing in the morning headed for Agra This city is about a 140 miles west of Delhi but the trip takes over 4 hours because the roads are so bad. The trip is worth it though because Agra is the home of the Taj Mahal, one of the 7 wonders of the world. This building was built by one of the former Mongol Emperors (who seem to hav...

Hallo zusammen, zunaechst mal moechte ich dieses Forum hier nutzen, um ueber Jaipur zu laestern, das in meinen Augen eine einzige Abzocke ist. Das fing damit an, dass ich morgens um 5:30 am Bahnhof ankam, also ziemlich muede war. Um die Provisions-Gangster von Tukt-Tukt-Fahrern zu umgehen, gibt es ein offizielles Buero, in dem man Fahrscheine ka...

September 8, 2007 Agra, India We took a night train from Varanasi to Agra (3226R for the two of us), arriving here late morning, and checked into the Shanti Lodge where we were given the best room in the house for 600R per night: A/C and bath. Our room is on the top floor next to the roof top restaurant. We have a view of the Taj Mahal from our ...

My recurring favourite sight in India is watching Iain squeeze his size 9.5 feet into my size 7.5 green shower thongs (thanks Iams!) after chastising me for even bringing shower thongs! As his penance he always gets the shower second with the remaining 48 seconds of hot water. But enough about that. After a week of Indian curries, my body was cr...

Agra lives up to it's reputation of being a nasty city, pretty much the worst we've been to. But it is a must on the itinerary of Northern India because of the Taj Mahal. Being such a huge tourist attraction and hyped the world over we were a little apprehensive about whether this huge marble tomb would live up to expectations. There is also the...

We were up early as we had a very early train. Kind of figures, does it not !!! Now when I say early, I mean 06:00 it was leaving, so we were there for 05:30. Luckily for us, the train was waiting, so we went and found our seats. Not long after, the train left Delhi, and started on it's way to Agra. Then the waiters came around to give us breakf...

Well at the moment we are on the 1st leg of the golden triangle (delhi-agra-jaiper-delhi) and all is going good... Had a real tasty kashmiri dum aloo for me dinner last night (sinead, you're right it's miles better up here and it was stuffed with cheese and everything!) Well am still fighting off the delhi belly all well and good and my tummy ha...
