The India you DREAM about | Taj Mahal, Agra | INDIA TOURISM 2019

This is the India that you dream about. Visiting the Taj Mahal, Agra in 2019 is an absolute must! It's beautiful, breathtaking and everything you could ever want.
Today’s episode is all about the Taj Mahal, one of the most popular Agra tourists places. We start our day off by waking up at 5.30am, to watch the sunrise over the Taj Mahal. Although it was hard to drag ourselves out of bed in what felt like the middle of the night, watching the sun come up and slowly change the colour of the Taj Mahal’s glistening marble was nothing short of magnificent.
#india #tajmahal #incredibleindia
Its easy to see why the Taj Mahal is one of the seven man made wonders of the world. It's a truly impressive structure. It's no wonder that it's' so heavily promoted across the tourism industry here in India. In 2019 alone, the Taj is expected to see over 8 million visitors.
Tips for visiting The Taj Mahal:
- It’s best to get there early to avoid the crowds. This is one of the most popular Agra tourist places and by 8.30am the place was packed!
- You can your tickets at the front entrance and entry inside is 1100 rupees
- If you can avoid it, don’t bring a bag. When you enter the complex, there are two different lines, one for people with and one for people without bags. The line for people without bags is MUCH faster!
Next up we visit the lesser known Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah or as its nicknamed “baby Taj”. The tomb is where Mumtaz Mahal’s (Lady Taj Mahal) grandparents were laid to rest and is said to be where the inspiration for the Taj Mahal came from. As it is one of the lesser known Agra tourist places, you will find it is a lot quieter with far less people who visit. A stark contrast to our sunrise Taj Mahal visit.
And to finish our day off we headed to our not-so secret Taj Mahal sunset spot Mehtab Bagh. This beautiful park is just a short drive from The Baby Taj and is the perfect way to end your day in Agra. It will cost you 300 Rupees to enter, but the Taj Mahal sunset views are totally worth it!

Today was truly the India we've dreamed of seeing. The Taj Mahal in Agra is just breathtaking. This India Travel Guide is part of our larger India Travel Series. Drop us a comment with your favourite Taj fact 👇👇👇

[@sudiptanandi7828]

Do you know Taj Mahal made Guru Gobinda Shing not Shahajahan. It was a temple & Momtaz was his (Guru Gobinda Singh) wife. Guru Gobinda Singh was the king of Delhi. Go to google you will get details. Or-ha There is a mosque in the Taj Mahal and the Taj Mahal is on the banks of the Jamuna river. You can not find a mosque on the banks of any river in the world, except the Taj Mahal. The mosque has the tomb of Shahjahan and Mamtaz. Thanks

[@sscchannel3940]

Hi! !!!

[@nitinkapoor4752]

Taj Mahal is good....BUT if you want to see something incredible you have to see Ajanta & Ellora ... made around 2 Century BCE ... ( incredible ..as in beyond belief )

[@SallyAndEd]

Ooo, we've never heard of that. Thanks for the information!

[@nitinkapoor4752]

Sally And Ed Well, it is ‘incredible’ in the real sense... an entire temple complex CUT DOWN on a Rocky Mountain... yes it’s a SINGLE LARGE stone cut into temple from TOP moving DOWN... so much so that many believe it was done by aliens 👽 (believing that humans couldn’t have done it) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGOtnWd-g6mcrsU It’s a shame that we natives keep glorifying the invaders(Islamic and Colonial/Christian(evangelists and missionaries) )

[@mohanjaiswal792]

The Taj wins by its glamour. But the Ellora rock temple of Lord Shiva is truly beyond human technology even in today's standards.

[@treasurehuntfoodies]

Amazing country, definitely on my bucket list!!

So many good memories coming back watching this video. Beautiful footage of the Taj. We got stopped with our camera when we went. Definitely if we go back there we'll have to go on the morning :D

[@SallyAndEd]

Oh no! Such a shame. We had to leave our mic and a few other things in a locker. They don't let you take in much. Next time you definitely have to!

[@hagumuthi]

Yes it is stunning - but there are seldom few things that are more worthwhile in life than "us" - your lovely heartfelt smile and positive attitude is what I see here and that certainly has cheered me up more dare I say. We need to cherish human quality more than man made objects something we humans have forgotten nowadays. Anyway, nice VLOG on the Taj, well edited.

Coudn't agree more. Thanks for the lovely comment

[@bekindandpolite2158]

I have heard that Shah jahan (the king who had built taj mahal for his wife) had cut the fingers of the labourers and the architect involved in making Taj mahal so that they could not make another replica of it any where else in the world

[@SallyAndEd]

Omg.. that's... scary. We'd heard that as well. That's so dark..

[@firozalam2650]

@@SallyAndEd No, He did Not. There is no historical account of such thing happened. It is just some modern myth which over the period of time, people started to believed because of how splendid the structure built.

Thank you!

[@sammywhammy007]

Taj Mahal was never a Palace. It was built as a tomb for Mumtaz Mahal by Shahjahan the reigning king at that time of the Mughal empire, after her death. The name is shortened version of Mumtaz(j) Mahal. Shahjahan later in was later imprisoned by his son in a coup and upon his death was.buried next to his favorite wife at the Taj Mahal. It was never intended as s palace and it is a mausoleum for Mumtaz Mahal.

[@SallyAndEd]

Did we call it a palace? Whoops. It's a tomb yes.

[@sammywhammy007]

Sally And Ed Yeah it was built as a tomb or a glorified version of it, a mausoleum. It was never a palace or residence at anytime though 😀. The other one, Agra Fort, was the fort/residential building of the Mughal emperors.

Use 'Ola' app cab-service in India, available in 110 cities/towns. While Uber is in around 30 cities.

[@SallyAndEd]

We tried to book an OLA but no drivers would accept us!

[@rupendra79]

@@SallyAndEdStrange! You could have contacted customer care regarding your issue through the app itself. I use 'Ola' regularly. Haven't gone through any such situation. Maybe when the driver calls about 'pickup' location, he may not have understood your English. Smart drivers do not call, if they know the exact pickup location.
