Observe Mughal architecture at its most magnificent at the Taj Mahal in Agra. Aside from being one of the most beautiful places in India, the Taj is surely the biggest, boldest romantic symbol on the planet. It was designed to house the body of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan’s favourite wife, Muntaz Mahal. Created from precious materials and semiprecious stones from around the world, it took more than 20 years and about 20,000 men to build. It’s ostentatious and extravagant, but there’s no doubt that this wonder of the world is utterly spectacular.
For any lovers itching to visit the Taj Mahal, why not combine your trip with a wildlife safari? Spotting monkeys and leopards against spectacular Indian landscapes is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Sharing it with your loved one is unforgettable. See it all by booking our Indian Wildlife Safari trip today.
Where to stay: For opulence and heritage style plump for either the Oberoi Amarvilas Agra or the Grand Imperial. Both have jaw-dropping decor, as well as luxurious spa facilities. Is anyone tempted by a couple's massage?
