Agra beyond the Taj Mahal: 5 great things to do in Agra


Agra’s biggest attraction is definitely the Taj Mahal for obvious reasons. People flock to this city just to view one of the Seven Wonders of the World! But there is more to it than just the Taj! Beyond the Taj, Agra has plenty of other things to offer to its tourists.
Here are 5 great things you can do in this city:
i.                    Checking out other monuments: Instead of staying cooped up inside the luxurious suites of your Agra hotels, it would be advisable to go for sightseeing. And with attractions like Agra Fort, Buland Darwaza, Moti Mahal and Fatehpur Sikri, the city will give you fantasies a new sky to fly.
ii.                  Take photographs at the Dhobi ghat: If you wish to capture the true essence of the country’s culture, then make sure to roll over your shooting lens at the vintage corner of Dhobi ghat.
iii.                Dig into Mughal cuisines: Mughal cuisines are really very popular in this city. Irrespective of your food preference, you must try out the various Mughal foods in the city’s restaurants, eateries and top Agra hotels.
iv.                 Shop for souvenirs: It would be really bad if you do not bring back any souvenir from your trip to the city. One of the most common souvenirs is a miniature model of Taj Mahal. But most items are exorbitantly priced. So, you must not forget to bargain!
v.                   Go for Henna art on your palms: This point is written specially for the female foreigners. While Indian women are quite used to applying henna (mehendi) on their palms, it would be a really unique experience for non-Indian women to try. 
If you want to book a hotel in Agra or for making bookings of Gurgaon hotels or Udaipur hotels, you should consult an India-based travel agent.
