Taj Mahal
My dad came to visit me here in January. We proceeded to go on an amazing tour of Rajistan, the desert region/state which contains many of the most famous Indian tourist attractions.
While we did not start off at the Taj Mahal, I thought it would catch the largest number of eyes the fastest.
Regardless, here is my dad and I in fron of the Taj Mahal at 6:30 in the morning. It was freezing cold, a stark difference that what I think most people expect of India. Just days before we got there, Delhi had expeienced some of the coldest temperatures on record. It was near 32 degrees farenheit when this photo was taken.
Now, in most cases, whenever you hear how unbelievable places are, in my opinion, they almost always comes up short. And, living in India, I had heard countless stories about how amazing this tomb really is. In short, I was prepared to be let down.
Honestly, I don't think it is possible to not be awe struck by the Taj. If you haven't been, you should put it at the top of your list. And, go at sunrise.
