Agra was founded in 1504 on the western bank of the Yamuna River.

In the evening, we'll stop at one of the wonders of the world -the Taj Mahal for a beautiful sunset experience. Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, which took 22 years to make and was only possible by him turning his back on running the empire to complete the build!
