My trip was started since 23 February, 2011. I flighted from Bangalore International Airport to Indira Gandhi International Airport which is located at New Delhi. Although the airport provided the city transportation such as bus, metro, and taxi., all public transportation are available until 22.00. My flight reached to there at midnight, so I had to catch the prepaid taxi to the destination which was the railway station. It is quite evident that I planed to visit Taj Mahal and Agra Fort at Agra city which is far from New Delhi 188 kilometers by train which the train started at was Hazrat nizamuddin RS at 6.00 on 24 February. The train reached to Agra Cantt RS at 9.10; thereafter, I booked a cabs for sightseeing trip at Taj Mahal, Ara Fort, and Markets which was about Rs 650 from 9.10 to 17.00. The Taj Mahal entrance fee is about Rs 510 for SARRC & BIMSTEC Country which included Thailand and Rs 750 for the others.

Moreover, the government tourist bureaucracy also provided a guide in order to give informations for the particular place which charged Rs 1,950 for foreigner and Rs 750 for Indian. Taj Mahal was constructed with white mable which is the finest expression of love of an emperor for his queen situated on the banks of the river Yamuna, 3 kilometers from Agra Cantt RS. Moreover, it was built byMughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his queen Mumtaz Mahal, in1632.
I took two hours to visit and enjoy with the beautiful Taj Mahal. Thereafter, I went to Agra Fort which was far from Taj Mahal around 2.5 kilometers. Agra Fort is masterpiece for design and construction, was build by the great Emperor Akbar in 1565 A.D. The entrance fee for Agra Fort is Rs 250 and Rs 50 for entrance tax.
