Taj Mahal From the Outside

Thanks for posting the cool video and for mentioning the Traveler report on World Heritage sites. Another amazing place in the Agra area is the majestic but abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri, created in the 16th c. by Emperor Akbar, grandfather of Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal. One of our geotourism experts who evaluated the World Heritage sites said this about the city: "Fatehpur Sikri is a fascinating place and deserves greater recognition and resources. However, much of its charm rests on the fact that it is still in use as a place of veneration and has a living cultural heritage." More description and photos here:
