Day 7-8 - Long Journey….and The Taj Mahal!

After a full day of air and ground travel from Jim Corbett back through Rudrapur to Pantnagar airport, we finally arrived back in Delhi Friday night.  

Saturday we embarked on an amazing day trip to Agra.

Our first stop was one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal, where we were greeted by a police escort. We got to see the tombs of one of queens of the Moguls, and it was an amazing view.

Our next stop was the Agra Fort, a giant palace made with beautiful designs and marble. We saw a ton of optical illusions and an amazing view of our first stop, the Taj Mahal.

Our final stop was a marble cutter, who was in the 17th generation of his craft, the designs were stunning and made use of a special type of Calcium Carbonate to create a type of glue that lasted for over 400 years, much longer then super glue. 

Overall our day was full of amazing sights, in-depth explanations of history, and a ton of photos.
