Agra Travel Guide

Agra is the home of the Taj Mahal one of the finest buildings ever constructed which is rightly a wonder of the world but if it were not for this beautiful monument the polluted, dirty and hassle packed city of Agra would not be visited by tourists and more realistically avoided. The Taj compensates for the city of Agra and due to this one sight Agra should be on the itinerary for all visitors to central and north India. Agra as a plus does offer great value accommodation that is close to the Taj and Agra is relatively close to Delhi while the city does offer many shopping opportunities. Agra is an India city that must be visited to experience the Taj so let us at 2weekbackpack.com be your guide to making the most from this chaotic city.

Agra lies 200km to the south of Delhi on the main train line to the south of the country meaning that the Agra can be visited as a very long day trip from Delhi. There are now days many tour bus operators who offer similar day trips to Agra which have significantly improved with new fast roads being opened.For those visitors who wish to spend a couple of days in Agra there are activities and sights which can fill a two day visit but stays much longer will provide no greater insight to the region.
