Luxury Holidays in Agra

The Jewel of India

Magnificent Agra is situated on the Yumana River, in the southwest corner of Uttar Pradesh. The city is the former capital of the 16th-17th century Mughal emperors, whose legacy remains in the city’s splendid architecture – most notably the spectacularly romantic Taj Mahal, built by order of Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

With its glorious past and vibrant contemporary culture, Agra has plenty to offer. Try delicious Mughlai cuisine, and witness precious artifacts being made by skilled craftsmen in the city’s narrow lanes.

Following extremely hot summers and torrential rainy season, the most suitable time to visit Agra is during winter, as Februrary welcomes Agra’s Taj Mahotsav, a colourful, festival of music, dance, arts and crafts.
