Know before you go

Taj Mahal remains closed on Friday.
Agra, covering 204 km, was the power city of the Mughal dynasty. As the Mughal dynasty's epicentre, many monuments were constructed here by Akbar and other Mughal rulers, and UNESCO now lists many of them as World Heritage Sites.
Agra Fort features the Diwan-e-Khas, Diwan-e-Aam, Jahangir's Palace, Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors), Khas Mahal, and Anguri Bagh, along with Akbar's Tomb at Sikandra, the well-manicured Ram Bagh Lawns, Dayal Bagh Temple, and Jama Masjid.
The Taj Mahal flawlessly tells the eternal love story of Shahjahan and Mumtaz Mahal.
Jaipur is the capital and largest city of Rajasthan and is also called the Pink City because of the pink paint used to give it a new look before the visit of the Prince of Wales.
Fatehpur Sikri was for some time the capital of the Mughal Empire under Akbar, but it was later abandoned because of water supply failure.
The largest gateway in the world here is Buland Darwaza, along with the Tomb of Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chishti and Jama Masjid.
Jai Singh's Observatory, an astronomical observatory also called Jantar Mantar (meaning calculation instrument), Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds (a five-storeyed structure with 935 windows), and a museum in the City Palace are among Jaipur's key attractions.
Hadimba Devi Temple/Doongri Temple is dedicated to Hadimba Devi, wife of Bhima, who was one of the five Pandavas in the epic Mahabharata.
Rohtang Pass is open for visitors from May to November only because in other months it becomes freezing cold.
Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, was the summer capital of British India due to its relaxing environs and picture-perfect sights. The British developed this place further by building grand structures, which now remain reminders of British imperial architectural finesse.
The Golden Triangle is so called because of the triangular shape formed by the locations of New Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan on a map. These trips usually start in Delhi, move south to the site of the Taj Mahal at Agra, and then head west to the desert landscapes of Rajasthan.
