Summer holidays,Always bring feeling of joy & zing. This summer, I decided to explore historic City of Taj, Agra.
Every transport reaches there but it’s best to the travel in train, which we boarded from Delhi. AC Shatabdi express leave both from the New Delhi & Nizamuddin stations at 6a.m. reaching at 8:40a.m., saving whole day for sight seeing.
Though, there is an Agra Kheria airport, 7km from city centre, as well as bus transport at the Agra fort bus station, from where you can get the taxi, autorickhsaw or cycle rickshaw, costing you between the 20 to 200 bucks as your tour requires.
From railway station we took prepaid taxi paying Rs.120 in advance to take us to the Hotel Mughal Sheraton. It was breezy experience with picturesque views of nature in way from Cannt to Mughal Sheraton.
It was red brick luxury hotel amid serene gardens & elegant interiors.We had booked two rooms as my family consisted of four people.rooms available were small as well huge, we preferred small & cozy, which had a swimming pool outside the room itself.
And The bath was exquisite experience with Jacuzzi attached in bathroom. And other activities included were games like tennis, badminton and mini golf while for kids there was puppet show to enjoy.
It was afternoon & lunch was on our heads. For eating & drinking there are many places nearby if you do not want to have it in your stay hotel. Dasaprakasha, & for south Indian lovers is a must place to eat. Only restaurant on mall road has all type of cuisine with lively music.
Park’ in Sadar Bazaar is great place for family to enjoy food. Kwality & Pinch of Spice are restaurants of taste & pricey grub. Though, there are many cafés & the small eat aways too, including the contemperory fast food centres like Pizza Hut, and Domino’s, Mc donalds,and Costa Coffee, Café Coffee Day.
We chose restaurant Park which serves Indian, continental & Chinese food. We had great time jumping on food, as we were hungry.And My brother particularly liked the Chinese cuisine there.
It was time for most favoured activity by women that is shopping. Sadar bazaar is ideal place for shopping but here you will find expensive marble stone & inlay works. So one has to be careful while purchasing. There are sprawling shops of gemstones to big emporiums.
If you ca not afford here you can visit old town area. Kinari bazaar has mad traffic but it sells an everything from textiles to fruits.
If you luckily visit city during 18th to 27th February, surely go for festival held at Shilpgram,culture festival with ethnic touches, cheap for shopping, full of ethnicity.Moreover, with the music & dance shows by eminent personalities make evening pleasurable.
After shopping, we had to bid an adieu to Agra which made our holiday wonderful as we had three days to spend. And Fourth day, we checked out from hotel paying our cheques.And feeling of sadness took over me that I have to leave that place but everything has to come to an end to give the rise to new experience.

That's a nice place to buy some souvenirs.I had this habit of buying souvenirs while traveling in different places.I can see in the photo that the beads are well-crafted into jewelry. I am sure my sister and mom would like to have these things.What kind of beads are they?
