Taj Mahal

An iconic and instantly recognisable sight, the Taj Mahal is an essential stop on most first time trips to India. Built as a monument to love by Shah Jahan after the death of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, this incredible artifice took 22 years and 20 000 workers to build. Renowned for its beautiful marble screens and breathtaking inlay work made with thousands of semi-precious stones, this testament to undying love remains one India’s most popular and important tourist attractions. Visitors enter the compound through a majestic red sandstone gateway and get their first, unforgettable view of the magnificent Taj Mahal on its beautiful marble platform amongst the ornamental gardens and pools. While it may have become a clichéd image of India, it is still an incredible sight and one that definitely will not disappoint.
