Romancing Agra- The Wonder of the World and Pride of India

Did you know there are around 100 old forts and havelis in Uttar Pradesh, but the best ones, which are the pride of the land, are in Agra? Some of the leading and good hotels in Agra are booked year-round. 

Agra in the 16th and mid-17th centuries was once a precious jewel of the Mughal crown. As the empire’s capital, the city was immortalised by powerful Mughal rulers—Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, and  Shah jahan. Agra rose to the pinnacle of its glory when  Shah jahan, in the loving memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, gave the city the 7th wonder of the world—the Taj Mahal.
