The Taj Mahal<\/strong>, India\u2019s most iconic monument<\/strong> and one of the modern wonders of the world, was a site we planned to visit “because we had to.” After all, you can\u2019t travel to India <\/strong>without seeing this monument to love, built by Emperor Shah Jahan, who famously said it “brought tears to the eyes of the Sun and the Moon.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we were initially a bit sceptical, I have to admit the visit started with a “let\u2019s see how this goes” and ended with a “wow, this is amazing.”<\/p>\n\n\n

After passing through strict security at the entrance to the complex, with the sun still hidden and a thick fog in the air, you arrive at the main gate. This covered area is where people start to gather, as just a few meters ahead is the Darwaza,<\/em> or entrance portal, from where you can catch your first glimpse of the breathtaking Taj Mahal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view from here is stunning, with gardens on either side and canals reflecting the monument. The thick fog creates a mystical atmosphere, and as the first rays of sunlight hit the white marble of the mausoleum, it takes on a reddish hue. Welcome to one of the wonders of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
