Early morning in Delhi, the city’s still waking up as our driver pulls up right on time. The air’s got that hint of spice and dust—classic North India. We’re off to Agra, and honestly, I’m a bit nervous about the crowds at the Taj Mahal. But our guide, Rakesh, assures us he’ll handle everything. He chats in English and Hindi (and even some French for another couple), making everyone feel at home.
The first glimpse of the Taj Mahal is something else—there’s this soft mist hanging over the gardens, and you can actually hear birds over the hum of visitors. Rakesh points out tiny details on the marble—like the way the semi-precious stones catch the light if you tilt your head just so. He shares stories about Shah Jahan and Mumtaz that aren’t in any guidebook; apparently, locals believe there’s a secret tunnel under the monument (he grins but won’t say more). We wander through shaded paths before heading to Agra Fort. The red sandstone feels warm under your hand, and you get these little breezes coming off the Yamuna River.
Lunch break? Not yet—we stop for puri bhaji and chai at a roadside spot Rakesh swears by. It’s simple but hits just right after all that walking. Later, we hit Sadar Bazaar for some shopping—lots of leather goods and sweets stalls; I grab some petha to take home. The afternoon wraps up at Fatehpur Sikri, where it’s quieter than I expected. Our guide knows exactly when to go to avoid big groups, so we get these peaceful moments wandering empty courtyards as the sun dips low.
