No trip to India is complete without a visit to the iconic Taj Mahal. Singularly, the greatest testimony any man could possibly have shown for his beloved, not just in ancient times, but perhaps for all time, the Taj Mahal is truly awe inspiring even for those not particularly inclined towards art and architecture. Set on the banks of the Yamuna river, the many moods of the Taj, built in white marble, inset with semi-precious stones, is reflected variously in the blazing white light of summer, cool moonlight evenings, and orange red sun rises and sunsets. OPERATING MONTHS: Round the year NUMBER OF DAYS: 3 Nights/4 Days COST: 743 USD PER PERS GROUP OF PERS: 6 PERS ACCOMODATION: 4* Deluxe Hotels

Our Taj Mahal tour packages will help you understand what makes the structure an architectural wonder. The Mughal lawns set in the inimitable style of this ancient empire, and the water fountains which run through them were other architectural design accomplishments of these ancients. It was in the early 17th century that the Taj Mahal was built and completed. Commissioned by the grand Mughal of the time who ruled India, Shah Jehan, for his favourite wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj took close to three decades for full completion. Designated as a UNESCO world heritage site, the Taj is a testimony to Islamic art and architecture in ancient India. The Nobel Poet Laureate from India, Rabindra Nath Tagore referred to the Taj Mahal as being “a tear drop in the cheek of time”. Today the Taj Mahal is still closed on Fridays as being a mausoleum, Friday prayers are offered here. There is strict security and dawn visits are recommended to avoid very long ques. In our Taj Mahal tour packages, we usually book you into a nearby hotel to help you make the dawn visit.
