The Taj Mahal

We wanted to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise, as people say it changes colors during sunrise, sunset and at night with full moon. At 6:30 we were in the line waiting for the gates to be open.

When finally we began to enter, after the security check, there’s a garden and a huge gate, from where we can see the astonishing building far in front. Even with high expectations, the Taj delivers.

As the morning is foggy, the Taj looks like an appearance over no scenario, just over fog or clouds, and as we walk closer, the magnificence and wonder of all its details and its size takes our breath away.

After realizing we are in from of the most beautiful building in the world, we begin to explore it from every side, every corner, then we go in to see every detail of its decorated marble. It is so beautiful that we could sit there and stare at it the whole day.

After the wonderful experience, we took the road to Jaipur, making a small stop at Fatehpur Sikri, a palace where the mughals governed some years.

In the entrance to Jaipur, we stopped at the monkeys temples, some hinduist temples where 5.000 monkeys live.
