Land of Maharajas

A trip to India is hardly complete without a visit to the magnificent Taj Mahal in Agra – a symbol of love, a powerful ode to Mughal architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. In the words of Emperor Shah Jahan, who built this white marble mausoleum to house the tomb of his favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal: The Taj Mahal made the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.

Enrich your journey through India’s Mughal era in old Delhi – where the Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb stand testament to the architectural finesse of the times gone by, in the crumbling living fort of Jaisalmer and in the pink city of Jaipur. If you really want to feel like royalty, spend a few nights in one of Rajasthan’s Palace hotels, where if you listen closely, the walls will whisper secrets of extravagance, victory and romance.
