Itinerary

  1. 1

    Kinari Bazaar:

    Begin your journey at this vibrant market, known for its intricate embroidery and traditional Indian attire. Stroll through the narrow lanes lined with shops selling colorful fabrics, jewelry, and handicrafts. Don’t miss the opportunity to interact with local artisans and learn about their craft.

  2. 2

    Shah Jahan Park:

    Named after the Mughal emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal, this serene park offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Take a leisurely walk amidst lush greenery and manicured lawns, and admire the beautiful fountains and Mughal-style architecture.

  3. 3

    Chini Ka Rauza:

    A hidden gem tucked away from the tourist trail, Chini Ka Rauza is a mausoleum built in the 17th century for the Persian poet and scholar, Allama Afzal Khan Mullah. The highlight of this monument is its exquisite Persian-style tile work, which is believed to be the inspiration for the Taj Mahal’s intricate designs.

  4. 4

    Mariam's Tomb:

    Located in the vicinity of Chini Ka Rauza, Mariam’s Tomb is another architectural marvel dating back to the Mughal era. Built in memory of Mariam Zamani, the wife of Emperor Akbar, this octagonal tomb features intricate carvings and a peaceful ambiance that transports you back in time.

  5. 5

    Mehtab Bagh:

    Conclude your tour with a visit to Mehtab Bagh, a sprawling garden complex located across the Yamuna River from the Taj Mahal. This picturesque garden offers stunning views of the Taj Mahal at sunset, making it the perfect spot for a serene and memorable end to your day.
