Agra Heritage Tour

A GOOD CHOICE FOR HISTORY BUFFS AND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN MORE DETAILS ABOUT HISTORY, PEOPLE AND SIGHTS OF AGRA.

Agra heritage tour is meant for travelers with deep interest in history, romantics and people who want to explore the places they visit in detail rather than just see and click photos. For most tourists, Agra is limited to Taj Mahal and perhaps a visit to Agra Fort nearby. But Agra was the capital of Mughal empire under three kings and is full of history and stories which most people don’t know about. The city is gifted with numerous gardens, forts, mosques, mausoleums and bazars built by different people from 13th to 19th century.

One of the most important, yet lesser known example is I’timad-Ud-Daulah tomb built by queen Nur Janha in memory of her father. It is made of white marble, inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones and is considered by many historians as one of the major inspirations for Taj Mahal. A number of aspects from this tomb were copied in Taj Mahal.
