Visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra is likely on your itinerary if you're traveling to India for the first time. And it should be! Situated on the Yamuna River, this incredible architectural feat is one of the Seven New Wonders of the World for a reason.
Often times, we're not super enthusiastic about big tourist attractions. We thought we might be disappointed by visiting the Taj Mahal, but we were actually quite impressed.
Many people claim the building itself is smaller than they expected. And while that may be true, to us the grandeur wasn't in the size, but in the Taj Mahal's exquisite marble detail.
