1. Ganges River

Reviewed By Phillip8789 - Terrigal, Australia
We had the opportunity to walk many of the Ghats, be on the Ganges for sunrise and sunset, observe people bathing, washing clothes, seeing cremation services and observing the Ganga Aarti devotional ritual being performed. This is a unique experience - being able to be on The Holy River is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Nothing we have seen in our overseas travels compares to this.

Reviewed By bkapil - Chandigarh, India
Visited the architectural marvel along with both kids and better half on 16th fm 08:00 hrs to 11:00 hrs . Its indeed a building which signifies best of architectural design and beauty , but the way it's being managed by the board/ management (if there is any) it's far below standard . Few DOs : carry ur own water steel bottle , as the plastic bottle sold is local made and drinking water cooler is neither clean not marked in which year it was . Juices and snacks prices are jacked up , if hungry carry own snacks - it's permissible . Carry good pixel - dslr (nominal fee) / mobile (permitted) and no other visible restriction . Local guide is required if you intend to know the history of the building , can be negotiated at rs.30-35 per person , for 4 persons we paid rs.125 Handicapped person cannot visit due to no supportive infrastructure . Wear thick cotton socks as walking without shoes only is permitted in labyrinth (bhool bhuliya) , prefer October to March cooler months . During summer months the building roof galleries and terraces are not covered with carpet (dari) , causing severe sun burns on ur feet (socks++) - which are best locations to take snaps thru telephoto lenses or high mm lenses , with entire old Lucknow as background . While purchasing ticket , purchase combined ticket for seeing five buildings , it's nominal as low as rs.50 per person ( kids above 3/5 it's considered adult , tentatively). The local guide for "bouli" charges rs.25-30 for group of 4 persons - pl hire to understand the significance of the building.The sacred masjid is not permitted for visit as it's a worship place . Shoes are kept in open (no shade / locker room) with tokens issued @ nominal rs.2 a pair - carry small denomination equivalent coins. Hiring local guide for seeing for all monuments thru combined ticket - roomi darwaja + clock tower + picture gallery + chikan factory (it's no factory but cluster of private owned shops charging exhorbitant ) , along with visits in e-rickshaw costs rs.100 , but there is NO guide per se , rather e-rick guy speaks and we believe :) - no other option . The picture gallery guy (no picture taking permitted) starts moving along and expects to be paid rs.100 or 50 or whatever comfortable . In case of crowd inside the labyrinth , walking in 2.5 ft corridor becomes difficult and smell of substantially old carpet in the pathway is bad - carry handkerchief (with perfume) /masks /ginger water and stamina to wait to get passage , rather feeling pukey. Overall entire cluster of beautifully made buildings require : professional management by an agency which is monitored , uniform clothes , helpline numbers (aren't any , neither displayed - so called tourist police A4 size mobile number displayed on white page at enterance and two stationary sleuths sitting at main gate ) . Proper shoe cabinet rack availability , Que management , automatic room freshners , fire extinguishers , infirmary , digital display boards in the respective languages giving authentic information of the respective buildings and knowledgeable recognised (government board approved) , educated local guides . To know the significance of old Lucknow and its rich history , visit must be made .

Taj Mahal has always fascinated people of all generations through centuries.Every visit to Taj is filled with lots of memories and each visit is like a first time visit to this beautiful monument.It was my third visit to Taj and every time it makes you feel special and it leaves you mesmerized by its astonishing beauty in pristine white marble.We stayed at Trident during our last visit which is quite close to Taj Mahal.The Cars are not allowed within a certain radius of taj and needs to be parked in dedicated Parking Area.There are Battery run Golf Carts which ferry passengers to and fro from Taj Mahal.The Tickets for entry can be bought Online from ASI website,otherwise it can be bought at Ticket counter near main entrance of Taj.There are certain items which are not allowed to be taken inside and to my surprise Camera Tripod is one of the items which cant be taken along with your camera.There is a Cloak Room next to the ticket counter where you can deposit such items at nominal charges and you can also buy Shoe Covers from outside.There are Guides available who can accompany you and give details about Taj Mahal's architecture and some unknown facts which are not commonly known to people.It is advisable to have a tour guide along with you as he can give details about history behind Taj Mahal. There is a security check at the entrance which leads you to the main entrance of Taj Mahal.The Taj Mahal is always full of tourists and sometimes you really have to wait to click pictures of your choice and angle.The Parks,Gardens and water bodies are well maintained within the complex.The forecourt at Taj is about a floor high which could be accessed through staircases built within the monument.The entire marble work is superb and everything is just carved to perfection.The central hall of Taj is a no photography zone and visitors are queued up in a line to move inside premises.The stay is short and leads to opposite gate facing Yamuna river.The Taj is built on banks of River Yamuna and provides a breathtaking view of the place. We clicked lot many pictures in this entire courtyard and finally moved to garden area.The Taj trip finally came to an end with lots of memories and a promise to return back soon.
