Taj Mahal & Fatehpur Sikri
We suggest an early start today. It's worth it to visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise, before the crowds arrive.

This red sandstone ghost town dates back to the 16th century, designed as the Mughal capital, it was occupied for only 14 years, due to the water supply being inadequate.
