Sizzling Summer at the Taj Mahal 🕌

Visiting the Taj Mahal in the height of summer (May) was an unforgettable adventure, but boy, was it hot! Located on the outskirts of the city of Agra, we got a private driver from our hotel to bring us on the 3 hour journey (one-way) to the Taj Mahal from Delhi. It sure was a long ride but as one of the iconic landmarks in India, we could not miss it for the world. The summer sun beat down mercilessly on us as we explored the majestic marble wonder. The scorching heat really made it difficult to fully appreciate the mesmerising beauty of the Taj Mahal. We sought refuge in the shade whenever we could, but the heat was relentless. Nonetheless, I was left in awe by the intricate details and symmetrical design. Seeing such an iconic symbol of love and architecture was worth it. I'll always remember the shimmering white dome against the blue sky and the feeling of wonder it inspired, even amidst the sweltering summer heat. #WinHKFlight #winhkflight To me, Hong Kong is a melting pot of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to visit Lan Kwai Fong, Golden Bauhinia Square, Victoria Harbour, take a ride on the historic trams and...so much more!

Taj Mahal Agra India Amazing Building

#timetotravel Taj Mahal is widely considered one of the most beautiful buildings ever created. The exquisite marble structure in Agra, India, is a mausoleum, an enduring monument to the love of a husband for his favorite wife. It's also an eternal testament to the artistic and scientific accomplishments of a wealthy empire. Shah Jahan, “the King of the World,” took control of the Mughal Empire throne in 1628 very much in love with the queen he dubbed Mumtaz Mahal or “Chosen One of the Palace.” The poets at Agra’s Mughal court said her beauty was such that the moon hid its face in shame before her. The Mughals were at the peak of their power and wealth during Shah Jahan’s reign, and India’s rich lode of precious gems yielded him much wealth and power. But he was powerless to stop Mumtaz Mahal’s death during childbirth in 1631. Legend has it that she bound him with a deathbed promise to build her the most beautiful tomb ever known.

Tranquil Mehtab Bagh: Taj Mahal's Viewpoint

During my visit to Agra, I made sure to add the Mehtab Bagh viewpoint to my itinerary. The gardens are well-maintained and provide a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's an ideal spot to relax and take in the beauty of the Taj Mahal from across the river. The Mehtab Bagh viewpoint offers a unique vantage point to admire the Taj Mahal, with the river Yamuna flowing between the two landmarks. I was struck by how serene and beautiful the scene was, and it truly captured the essence of the Mughal era. The best part about visiting the Mehtab Bagh viewpoint is that it is much less crowded than other viewpoints in Agra, such as the Agra Fort or the Taj Ganj area. I found it to be a peaceful spot that allowed me to admire the Taj Mahal at my own pace without the distractions of large crowds. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Mehtab Bagh viewpoint to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the Taj Mahal from a different perspective. It's a tranquil and picturesque setting that will leave you with a sense of peace and wonder.#urbanexplorer #awesomepic

Monument of Love - TAJ MAHAL 🇮🇳

Taj Mahal is one of the most iconic architecture and monument in the world. Seeing it in person is something that is really unforgettable. No doubt it is one of the 7 wonders of the world. Im very happy to be ticking this off from my bucket list. Entrance Fee: For a foreign tourist , you have to pay 1300 Rupees and that includes getting into the mausoleum. Getting There - India is very cheap to travel around so we only hired a private car and a driver to drive us from Jaipur. You can also take a train from Delhi or from Jaipur. Hotel - We stayed at Hotel Royale Regent. You can easily book a room from trip.com app. ‼️TIPS Go there as early as you can especially if you are planning to buy a ticket by the gate. I recommend you to make yout eay there before sunrise so you'd be ahead of everyone else. Great opportunities for picture taking without a lot of tourists photo bombing you. ##urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #awesomepic #tripblazers #couplestrip #india

The Taj Mahal is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture, with its white marble exterior adorned with intricate carvings, calligraphy, and precious stones. Another famous example of Mughal architecture is the Red Fort in Delhi, which was also built by Emperor Shah Jahan.

The red sandstone walls of the fort are adorned with delicate carvings, and the interior of the palace is decorated with intricate inlay work and ornate frescoes. Mughal architecture is also known for its use of symmetry and balance, as seen in the layout of the gardens and water features in many Mughal structures.

Day trip to the Taj Mahal

I was in New Delhi and only had a day to spare. so I booked a bus from my hotel to Taj Mahal. I paid 1200 INR for a return bus ticket. It came with a guide which was really useful. they spoke in English too which was helpful. I had to buy tickets to the entrance of the Taj Mahal on the spot but it wasn’t a big deal. they even take you to places for lunch and other shopping destinations. overall it was a great day trip.

Taj Mahal - Agra, India

#passionpassport Tajmahal is one of the Wonder out of seven wonders. It’s made up of white marble and located in Agra, India. Shah Jahan was the fifth ruler of the Mughal dynasty. During his third regnal year, his favorite wife, known as Mumtaz Mahal, died due to complications arising from the birth of their fourteenth child. Deeply saddened, the emperor started planning the construction of a suitable, permanent resting place for his beloved wife almost immediately. The result of his efforts and resources was the creation of what was called the Luminous Tomb in contemporary Mughal texts and is what the world knows today as the Taj Mahal. #beautifuldestinations #passionpassport #traveladdict

Known to be one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, The Taj Mahal is the icon and a must-visit place in India. I was on an overseas immersion trip in 2011 when I visited this heritage site with the school, I had no idea what’s the itinerary is all about but of course, I’m amazed we are here.

Looking back, it really touches my heart knowing I’ve ever stepped foot on such a masterpiece building. It is located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. How to get there: Nearest airport would be Agra airport, from there you can hail a Taxi, it would take less than an hour to reach. #india #tajmahal

Moments at The Taj Mahal Palace, India

The white mausoleum for Shah Jahan’s third wife is a timeless, ingenious work of art. Decorative carvings, stone inlays and mosaics inspire awe of Mughal culture. The Taj Mahal Conceived by grieving Emperor Shah Jahan for his deceased wife, the marble mausoleum was built over 22 years, involving tens of thousands of stone workers and European inlay experts. Discover its beauty at daybreak as dawn colors light up the white marble. Enter through red sandstone gates decorated with Quran inscriptions. As you approach, notice the symmetry of the complex, from the structures standing on either side of the mausoleum to the layout of the canals and gardens. Sitting atop a raised base, the Taj Mahal’s only background is the sky. The huge dome and towering minarets cast a stunning silhouette at dawn. Throughout the day the marble seems to change color with the angle of the sun. Some say the grandiosity of the building was intended to represent the glory of the Mughals. Look up to notice carved arches with gemstone flowers and calligraphy set into the marble. Once inside, listen for echoes created by the shape of the dome; this ensured prayer would reverberate before fading away. In the octagonal main hall, cenotaphs of the Shah and his wife stand amid mosaics and marble screens with spectacular gemstone inlays. The shah’s tomb is not symmetrical, as his intentions for a mausoleum of his own were thwarted when his son seized power. Get an in-depth history of this remarkable place, including architectural plans, in the Taj Museum located in the western mosque. Here you’ll find examples of artworks, weapons, literature and craftsmanship from the time of Shah Jahan. Photography is not allowed inside the mausoleum. It is closed to tourists on Fridays. Electric buses, which help reduce smog levels, take you from the ticket office to the monument. Tickets are reasonably priced and discounted for Indian nationals. Your ticket includes entry to nearby Agra Fort. #vacation #travelinspiration#awesomepic#historicculture#loveflowers#museumquest#naturalwonders#nationalpark
