Taj Mahal - one of the New 7 Wonders of the World

Everytime I talk to people about my trip in India they will always ask "did you go to Taj Mahal?"

After hearing from other travelers about how magnificent and amazing the monument is, we decided to add India on our asian trip.

It surely is on many people's bucket list to see and I am lucky enough to have seen it and share it with you guys!

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Taj Mahal is the jewel of Muslim art in India recently listed as one of the new 7 wonders of the world.

Located on the south bank of the Yamuna river in the Indian city of Agra, about 200 kilometers away from the capital Delhi, it was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1632 to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

It took 22,000 people, 1000 elephants and 22 years to build. It is regarded by many as the best example of Mughal architecture and a symbol of India's rich history.
