Agra is a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh. It has various tourist spots. It is best known for the Taj Mahal. Let’s talk about the tourist spots of Agra beyond the Taj Mahal. However, my first love on same day Agra tour by car; is definitely the Taj Mahal itself. Since it is the epitome of love, it will be the favorite of yours, mine and everyone. So, the Taj Mahal will remain in our hearts and in Agra too at number one forever. As of now, let us understand more about some other tourist spots. The first one I will talk about is Agra Fort, some other tombs of Agra, Korai village, Mughal Heritage walks through Kachpura village, Taj nature walks, Sheroes Hangout, Taj Nature Walk, Fatehpur Sikri, the markets of the old Agra, Agra bear rescue centre, etc.
Agra Fort
Let’s start with Agra Fort. Its location is Sikandra in Agra. It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites of India. It is made up of red sandstone and the interesting fact associated with it is that it was rebuilt by Akbar with red sandstone. The fort was known for his grandeur because of mosques, Towers, audience halls courtyards, etc. IV has a very beautiful attraction in the evening. There take place and evening sound and light show. The purpose of this show is to recreate history.
Mughal Heritage Walk through Kachpura Village
The people in the Kanchipuram village welcome you for the Mughal Heritage walk. The purpose of this walk is to know the Mughal culture while walking. There is a lot of contribution to the people of the village. These people will help you by serving various things which are necessary for you on the way. For example, they will give you water, tables, and small restaurants to use while you are walking. Have a wonderful chance to interact with these villagers and know some interesting facts about Agra and its history. This person will tell you all what they have in their pockets. You can have a spectacular view of the Taj Mahal from the village and some other monuments too.
The Markets of Old Agra
The old markets of any place are the best way to know the reality of the city. You will get everything in such markets that one requires living in that city. One more factor that makes the old markets of a city very important is the actual price. Or else we can say the low price. Most of the things in the old markets of a city are available at very low prices as compared to the rest of the city. This market also have very small and every big thing. The people over here are very different. This also calls for a walk because most of the shops in the old market of the city are very congested. Rather the entire market is congested.
Korai Village
When you go to Fatehpur Sikri, there is one more interesting village called Kovai village. When you go inside the village, you have various interesting, funny and entertaining things to do because you meet the villagers. The villagers can be magicians or they may have some other skill. These skills will make you happy over here. You would be surprised to know that there are some fees to enter the village. Now you can understand the height of the talent that you will get in the village.
Sheroes Hangout
As the name tells you, it is a place to hangout at MMIG, Fatehabad Road, Taj Nagri, RK Puram Phase 2, Basai Khurd Tajganj, Agra, UP. First of all, please understand the words ‘Sheroes’. This word is a combination of two words. The first word is ‘she’ and the second word is ‘Hero’. This form Sheroes. The rationale of creating a spot like this is to inspire and motivate the women coming over here to do something great in their life. Moreover, the purpose is to inspire them to fight with the problems that they have in their everyday lives and move ahead happily. It represents a victory over some real sensitive issues of society. One of them is acid attacks. It is painted in a manner that shows the heroic deeds of the women. Men are allowed to enter here. However, the staffs of Sheroes are only women.
Agra Bear Rescue Centre
The Agra bear rescue center is located on the National Highway 2, Muranda, and Uttar Pradesh. It’s more precise location is before Agra inside the Sur Sarovar Bird Sanctuary. There are sloth bears in the Agra bear rescue center. The meaning of sloth is lazy. We all know bears are lazy. Bears and made to dance for the tourists. Isn’t it exciting! It is also possible for you 2 to go near to the bears, but you will have to pay more charges for it. It is called a private guided tour. It is booked in advance. It gives you lots of interaction and fun and makes same day Agra tour by train memorable.
