Any trip to India is incomplete without making a journey to one of the Seven Wonders of the World – the Taj Mahal. This spectacular 17th century white marble mausoleum standing on the southern bank of the Yamuna river is situated roughly 200km from the Indian capital.
Aptly called ‘the jewel of Muslim art in India’, the Taj Mahal is the pinnacle of Mughal architecture in the Indian subcontinent. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan, this sublime structure was a priceless token of his love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal and has been drawing visitors since time immemorial.
A trip to this World Heritage site helps immerse oneself into India’s storied Mughal history, making the visit unforgettable.
