Are you ready for weekend overload of iconic forts, romantic palaces, ancient treasures and hidden secrets? From Jaipur to Agra, Amer Fort and Taj Mahal, on bike, boat, and rail!https://vimeo.com/201904755
This is one intensive weekend through the highlights of Agra and Jaipur, from the iconic Taj Mahal on the banks of the river Yamuna to the mysterious Amer Fort with legends under every Mughal arch.
The Taj, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, is a mausoleum built for the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan's wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died while giving birth to her 14th child. Set behind a reflecting pool inside a courtyard defined by 4 minarets, the imposing main building features a massive dome and intricately carved white marble inlaid with precious stones.
We'll travel in style by Indian train, crisscross the country-side on bike, wander the streets of Agra and the hidden courtyards of Amer, and watch the sun set behind the Taj Mahal from the riverside.
Let's go!!
