The Fort was established in the 16th century but has been much added to over time, making it an eclectic mix of architectural styles.

Day 5: Taj Mahal
Rise early to see the sun rise over India’s most iconic sight. At dawn, when the crowds are at their thinnest, the Taj Mahal is swathed in mist and tinged pink by the rising sun – seeing it is a magical experience.
