Agra Fort tourism
Walk down the memory lane of the 15th century, when the Mughals and the Marathas fought their life out to reclaim this magnificent fort, a symbol of power and Mughal Resilience. Now known as the UNESCO world heritage site, The “RED FORT OF AGRA” was once the lavish, political and social residence to the most authoritative emperors like Jahangir, Aurganzeb, Akbar, (just to name a few). Regular visits by the Who’s who of the period, foreign ambassadors, travelers and the highest dignitaries kept the “Diwan-e-khaas” of the fort quite busy.
Standing tall in its full glory just by the banks of river Yamuna, this magnificent monument, built in red sandstone, contained the largest state treasury and mint, including the rare diamond “KOHINOOR”. Our customised and tailor made holiday packages to the historic agra fort will more than mesmerise you by taking you into the interiors of this magnificent symbol of pride, built by 4000 workers from Rajasthan over a period of 8 years. Besides being a popular choice as the capital city, amongst the Mughals and Marathas due to its central location, the AGRA Fort boasts of 500 buildings in the beautiful designs of Bengal and Gujarat. Built in its interiors are the 4 major gates, the popular ones being the DELHI GATE ( still used by the Indian Militiary) and THE LAHORE GATE. Visit to the agra fort is a lifetime opportunity to relive the 18th century history of the agra fort, a saga of sieges and plunder.
