Day 17 - Agra

Fri 18-Jan-2019: Upon leaving Lucknow, we took a 4 hours bus trip to Agra. From this point, we have completed the pilgrimage for Buddhist holy sites in India and the remaining time were spent visiting other Indian attractions. At Agra, we visited the Agra Fort but had to wait until the next day to see the Taj Mahal nearby as it is closed every Friday. Agra Fort was the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, when the capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi. Prior to leaving Agra the next day, we spent the morning visiting the famous world famous Taj Mahal, one of the world leading architectural and historical heritage masterpieces and a world wonder.
