Agra and the Taj Mahal

The next morning Radley and I left Rishikesh early in the morning to catch our train back to Delhi. At the train station there were a lot of homeless people and they were sleeping in the train station. Moreover, there were many wild animals on the platform. Quite an experience.

Once we reached Delhi we were picked up by our driver whom took us straight to Agra to view the Taj Mahal.



Agra is about a three hour drive away from Delhi. We reached Agra at around 5pm. Once we reached Agra the first thing we did was head out to view the Taj Mahal.



The Taj Mahal was beautiful. Before we got to the main attraction we had a look at the grounds .

One thing I found interesting about the Taj Mahal was how everything is symmetrical. The gates are symmetrical and so are the buildings.

After viewing the Taj Mahal; I can tell why it is one of the seven wonders of the world. Words and pictures cannot express the beauty of the Taj Mahal. It is a site that one needs to experience in real life.

After viewing the Taj Mahal we went to a nice restaurant called the Taj Mahal and enjoyed a great dinner. 

Then we were off to our hotel to enjoy a good nights rest.
