If you have a handsome budget, then we suggest you choose same day Agra tour by car.
Delhi Agra Same Day Tour is one of the most preferred tour packages in north India. These three cities are extremely popular as tourist destinations among the foreign tourists visiting India as well as among the natives.
Agra
Agra’s Taj Mahal is considered the symbol of India’s pride and love. Agra is the third largest district in Uttar Pradesh is historically significant.
Taj Mahal
Taj Mahal, the magnificent monument that stands at the heart of India has a story that has been melting the hearts of millions of listeners since the time Taj has been visible. A story, that although ended back in 1631, continues to live on in the form of Taj and is considered a living example of eternal love. It’s the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, two people from the course of history who set an example for the people living in present and the future to come. An English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold best describes it as “Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passion of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones.” The story that follows next will prove why the statement is true.
Agra Fort
Agra fort is the most important fort of India, The great Mughals: Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jehan and Aurangzeb lived here and the country was governed from here. It contained the largest state treasury and mint. It was visited by foreign ambassadors, Travelers and the highest dignitaries who participated in the making of the medieval history of India. No other fort of India had this honor. Agra fort stands on an ancient site just by the river Yamuna. It was a brick fort and Chauhan Rajputs held it. It is mentioned for the first time in 1080 AD when a Ghaznavide force captured it
Itmad ud doula tomb (Baby Taj)
Itmad-ud-daula has a special place in the chronicles of both histories as well as architecture. The story of Itmad-ud-daula is an inspirational rag to riches saga. The tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is as interesting as the life of the person for whom it was built. Mirza Ghiyas-ud-din or Ghiyas Beg (later known as Itimad-ud-Daulah) was a poor merchant and lived in Persia (modern-day Iran). His wife gave birth to a daughter whom he wanted to abandon for he has no money to feed her but the persistent wails of the infant changed his heart. The baby girl brought a stroke of good luck to her parents, for Ghiyas Beg found a caravan that straightaway took him to the court of the great Mughal Emperor, Akbar. After Akbar’s death in 1605, his son Jahangir became the Mughal emperor, who made Ghiyas Beg his chief minister or Wazir. Ghiyas Beg was also honored with the title of Itimad-ud-Daulah or the pillar of the state.
