Agra-Taj mahal

As everyone knows "Taj mahal" is wonders of the world.
From school we have been learning about monuments,historical places and so on.
So,my dream came to reality when I visited Taj mahal .

Taj mahal
It is located in Agra-uttar pradesh.
It is a white marble mausoleum located in agra.
It is one of the admired masterpieces and good workmanship.
When  we entered it was so very beautiful to see the white marble and the architecture ,floral designs and the calligraphy of the script written.
Tombs of shah jahan and mumtaz is placed and everyone who visits will definitely feel happy in admiring the beauty of this place.

One could get good snap shots  and there are many photographers who will click and give you good pics and can have as a souvenir .
One can also go in camel ride till entrance of taj mahal which is very nice

Mathura- Birth place of lord krishna

Mathura is in uttarpradesh .
It takes 2 hours from newdelhi and few travel through the yamuna express way which is a highway route here and it is so very good to travel and each one who drives have to drive according to the speed limit .

Then after reaching there one need to take a cycle rickshaw or auto and we opted for cycle rickshaw  it was too good enjoying the old traditional place .
One could also reach directly near temple with their vehicles.

Then we had a visit to temple "Sri krishna janmabhoomi",Really felt happy to see lord krishna's birthplace.Had good darshan ,we had a person(tourist guide) to explain in detail about the temple.
One will get good lassi in mud tumblers ,which  relishes our mouth in this hot summer.
From there one could easily reach Taj mahal.
