We finally reached the Taj from Delhi at about 4:30. Agra is not the prettiest city in the world – It seems the majority of the revenue collects (more on that in a sec) does not go to support the surrounding town although I am not sure how much it costs to maintain the monument.
Once there, we navigated through the hawkers and camel carts to reach the ticket booth. The cost of entry was 20 INR ($.40 USD) for a Indian national but for Dar and I were required to pay 750 INR ($15 USD)!!! While we were both shocked at the entry amount, it was worth it (I tried to present my Foreign Registration and get the lower cost ticket but the guards were having none of it).
There are no words for how beautiful the Taj Mahal and surrounding buildings are so I won't try and you can see for yourself…
