We embarked on an epic road trip today. A group of seven of us who attended this weekend’s wedding woke up early, travelled five hours from Jaipur to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, and then drove another four and a half hours to Delhi airport before our flights home.
The Taj Mahal is spectacular; hands down one of the most impressive structures I’ve seen in my life.
The mausoleum was built by Emperor Shah Jahan for his wife, and the perfectly symmetrical structure took more than 20 years to build. Right down to the red, green, and black rocks set into the marble, every detail was thought through with such care and precision.
I was beyond impressed and am so glad we chose to do the lengthy and roadtrip to make seeing it possible.
