1. Taj Mahal (one of the 7 wonders of the World) is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658) to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenelated wall.

   1,5 hEntrée incluse

2. Agra Fort is a historical fort in the city of Agra in India. It was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. Before capture by the British, the last Indian rulers to have occupied it were the Marathas. In 1983, the Agra fort was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.[1] It is about 2.5 km northwest of its more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled city.

   1,5 hEntrée incluse

3. This relatively simple mosque built almost entirely in red sandstone was built by Jahanara, the daughter of Shah Jahan. Seen in itself, this is still an imposing piece of architecture and one of the largest mosques in the country. This is still used as the main mosque in the city.

About New Delhi

New Delhi associe les avenues solennelles de la capitale aux bazars et monuments moghols du Vieux Delhi, entre empires superposés et grande cuisine.

La capitale planifiée s'organise autour d'une grande avenue cérémonielle qui court de l'India Gate au Rashtrapati Bhavan, le palais présidentiel. Non loin, le tombeau d'Humayun, précurseur du Taj Mahal, repose dans des jardins à la française, et le Qutub Minar, un minaret de grès imposant, s'élève au sud. Le temple du Lotus et le vaste complexe d'Akshardham ajoutent de saisissants monuments modernes.
