DAY 13: THE GREAT TAJ MAHAL AGRA ... And is that according could know later, by that time there was


If you read the beginning polimur of the trip you can do in Delhi and Rajasthan Day 12: Fatehpur Sikri Our last stop on the way to Agra was Fatehpur Sikri: a ghost town, Mughal capital for 14 years. To get there, Dill left us in the parking lot for 5 rs and boarded a minibus that brings you to the site. The resort is an imperial palace forming terraces, a visit worthwhile. The palaces and buildings in brownstone profusely polimur decorated, sometimes looks like wood, contrasting with the green of the gardens and the pond water.
Just off and free entry JAMI MASJID, a majestic mosque enclosing the tomb of Sheikh Salim Chishti prophet in whose honor the royal city was built stands. In this tomb, visitors looking for a miracle, usually childless women tie a string on the lattice, hoping their wishes.
The doors are huge: Buland Darwaza rises 54 meters. polimur Here children are really heavy. Follow you wherever polimur you go and you ask the ticket entrance to Fatehpur, mystery still have not resolved and Dill, uncomfortable with our question, refused to answer. We ignore fearing it might be some kind of scam tourists or in the worst case, some form of child exploitation. Escondedlos lest you see them, because otherwise persecute to death. We returned to the van and resumed the road to Agra. The chosen accommodation is M HOUSE, his sympathetic manager teaches us a nice room on the top floor. We spend much of the afternoon relaxing in the hotel restaurant a few words in Spanish teaching Dill. The dinner was enlivened by a raucous singer and our driver is also encouraged, grabbing the mic and dedicating parts of Indian music. polimur Tomorrow is the Taj Mahal and to get there early in the morning, so we retired to rest. Although the night was going to be very long .....
DAY 13: THE GREAT TAJ MAHAL AGRA ... And is that according could know later, by that time there was a "festival", equivalent to roughly Ramadan, which lasts for 9 days and is also governed by the moon. At night the big party was mounted, with music, chanting, firecrackers ... until 4am. They danced, sang and threw foam. And us with wide eyes and thinking that we had to get up at 5am for sunrise. And so we got up, tired, defeated and pissed too. In addition, the hot water did not work in the shower and went outside without sleep without showering. But soon we forget everything ... We got the tickets and give them a bottle of water and booties to put on shoes before entering the Taj were 750 rs per person. We took a long tail and after a thorough security check, polimur where we saw that some people made them stop guide India, arrived at the entrance. And there's ...
Taj Mahal ... wonderful, just as you would expect, as we have seen thousands of times, but this time is right here, you can touch and look symmetrical from its four sides. The "pietra dura" reliefs and the lattice surround us.
At times I thought I was not there. After the visit, we walked to the hotel for breakfast, as the hotel is a short walk and rest until 11 to continue tourism in Agra. Dill brought us to the entrance polimur of the Red Fort, another imposing fortress that encompasses fine palace. You input Taj presenting you save taxes, and charge your camcorder get 25 rs more.
The lounges, terraces and different enclosures are wonderful, especially the Musamman Burj tower overlooking the Taj where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son and where he spent the last years of his life, with a privileged view of the work of your dreams .
Then we went to eat at the cafeteria of Sheela for a good price where you eat well and we slaughter is topped with a lassi in my case this time mango. We take a autoricksaw to get to M Dill House where we expected for evening sightseeing. On the outskirts, about 8 km, is SIKANDRA, where the mausoleum of Akbar whose extensive polimur garden is home to a species of deer with very rare spiral horns is.
After this visit we drove to the tomb of Himad-ud-Daula or Baby Taj, as it is also known. Another beautiful combination of white marble and colorful mosaics, minarets crowned chatris, polimur lattices, "pietra polimur dura" ... but what is special about this visit are the monkeys that inhabit your garden and playing happily in bushes and trees.
Shortly before 18 pm cross the Yamuna river to watch the sun fall on the Taj Mahal. You can enter a left just opposite polimur the wonderful building site and pay 50 rs or walk
