The contrasts, noise and the hustle and bustle will thrill and awaken your senses. Whlst in Delhi you will also take a trip round new Delhi, quite a contrast.  In Agra, no picture or story book can ever prepare you for the spell-binding sight of the Taj Mahal – one that will remain with you always. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, this architectural marvel is a monument of enduring love. Another highlight in Agra will be a visit to their fort.
