==============================================================

It was very exciting to hear about a sudden plan of a day trip to see the Taj Mahal. Everything got planned so the trip would be seamless.

We drove down the expressway, reached the Taj Mahal precisely on time. We had pre-booked our entrance and within one hour we saw the entire monument and got to know about its historical facts.

Unique architecture with perfect symmetry and exceptional artwork, it was my first experience to visit a wonder of the world.

At the entrance gate, there were 22 rooms that represented the number of years it took to build the Taj Mahal. Carrying food items was strictly forbidden and so the entire place was spic and span.

It was a pleasant, sunny, winter afternoon for outdoor lunch. We had a relaxing lunch followed by a local sweetmeat ‘Petha’.

We took a stroll around the town and got to know that the city is popular for leather crafted products.

We wanted to reach Delhi before dinner time, so we started our return journey on time.

In about a while, we reached the National sports club Delhi to have dinner. Within a short drive, we reached home.

Everything went as planned and it was quite a memorable trip. It was a completely new experience for me and I truly enjoyed it.

We are hoping for a future trip to Agra again, to visit the Agra Fort.
