Day trip to Agra from Delhi

Points forts

Inclus

Itinéraire

1. We take you on a tour of the grandest structures of architectural brilliance in Agra. Meet your chauffeur in your hotel lobby, who will drive you to the iconic Taj Mahal. Recognized the world, over as a symbol of eternal love of an emperor for his queen, the Taj Mahal was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan for Mumtaz Mahal. This structure of white marble goodness is the most brilliant example of Mughal architecture. Such was the foresight of the architect Ustad Ahmed Lahauri that he designed the four minarets to tilt outwards to prevent them from falling on the main 'gumbaz' or dome in the event of a natural disaster, like an earthquake. Twenty-eight semi precious, rare, and precious stones sourced from India, Sri Lanka, Tibet and China were used in the inlay work of the Taj.

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.

Top-ranked sights in New Delhi: India Gate, Jama Masjid (Masjid e Jahan Numa), Chandni Chowk.
