While the Taj Mahal gets all the glory as one of the world’s most iconic sites (deservedly so), India has so many other fascinating and historical structures and places to share.
Here’s a round up of some key places and things to do during our time in Agra and Delhi.
The food was outstanding and with the help of our guide, Viki, I was able to get places to serve it “more than Indian hot”
One of my favorite shots in India – at Agra Fort
The “Baby Taj” was built before the Taj Mahal and even more intricate in detail
The one and only Agra Fort!
We were treated to several “demonstrations” like by this marble craftsman (don’t worry, they had a gift shop)
Delhi’s Red Fort was in the heart of the old city
WW1 Memorial India Gate was really cool…minus the people harassing us for stuff
Like China and Egypt, people liked their photos taken with us “gringos”
Ghandi’s grave and memorial…another “shoes off” place
Humayun’s Tomb…kind looks like Emirates Palace was modeled from it
As far as we could get inside the Presidential Palace
One of the more colorful Hindi temples, nicknamed the “money” temple to bring wealth!
At the site of India’s first mosque, Qutub Minar
The Lotus Temple – a cool, modern place (Bahai faith) to get spiritual
