The Taj (Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India)
Obviously you can't spend 3 1/2 months in India and not go to the Taj Mahal , and we finally did in early January. Throughout our time in India we met so many other travelers who had visited Agra (the city where the Taj is located) in Uttar Pradesh, and picked their brains for their advice on the best way to visit this world landmark. In our 3 months in India, over and over, backpackers gave us the same advice: get to Agra, see the Taj, and get out. Everyone told us that Agra, other than having the Taj, was less-than-impressive. However, because of where we were coming from (Pushkar, read here and here ) and where we were going next (Ranthambore National Park, coming soon), we knew we would actually be spending 2 nights in Agra.
