The chaos within asks for a perfect shot but perhaps nothing can ever capture the beauty of the #Taj

There are certain spots in Taj Mahal that can give you a clear and near-perfect shot but, needless to say, they are occupied by dozens of travellers like us. I could hardly get to any one of them. Now, going through these memories from a month earlier, I find that every shot from every spot had a different view and a different story to tell and I only hoped to do justice to that picture. 🙃

The room was in a poor condition for a 5 star hotel, had a general damp/musky unpleasant odour, had stains on carpet and furniture, bathroom felt outdated. The area just outside of the reception also has a foul sewage smell, would generally advise to avoid this hotel

Agra is a unique city with such rich cultural and historical heritage of India. Monuments like Taj and Fort are maintained but can do with more attention. With time red sand stone and white marble have started showing impact of nature.

Mesmerising experience

4/5 - Good

Taj Mahal is 20 times better when you see it in person. Pictures do not justify or show how beautiful it really is. I was really taken aback with the architecture and it’s majestic design. Wow....
