When visiting India one should not leave without seeing the grand Taj Mahal. Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in honour of Mumtaz Mahal his third wife. This breathtaking monument attracts thousands of visitors from all over. When you first walk through the Taj Mahal you will see many precious stones and magnificent marble. As you continue there will be many breathtaking gardens and astonishing corridors. Over time it has been characterised as the essence of love and has been called one of the most stunning buildings in the world.

Another marvel to take notice of while in India is the Buddhist caves of Ajanta. The Buddhist caves of Ajanta replicate ancient India with its design and incredible preserved architecture. These caves were once abandoned and then rediscovered around 1819. Along with architecture the paintings in the caves are well preserved today. The Buddhist caves are great for the tourist fascinated with ancient history and mysterious caves.

Another great place to consider is Jaisalmer Fort. The Jaisalmer Fort provides many enticing possibilities. It also has around 3,000 individuals residing within this magnificent fort. It is lined with several temples and houses. There are several restaurants that tie to Indian culture, shops with handmade items, and houses for guest in the area. When entering this fort you enter from the east and continue on your journey through several gates. Eventually you will reach the center of the fort, Dashera Chowk. This fort was founded in the year 1156 and was home to many battles. There is rich history all around the walls of the Jaisalmer Fort and unique beauty within the attractions available.
