The world famous city of Agra, priding itself on the star attraction of the Taj-and unequaled memorial to conjugal love-stands on the sacred river Jamuna. Nearly 200 kilometers south of the capital city of Delhi, the historic city lends itself to easy access by rail and plane. An extra-fast and luxurious train named after the Taj-The Taj Express-barely takes 3 hours to cover the distance each way. A tourist, leaving New Delhi by this train in the morning, can come back to his base by 10 P.M. as the Express steams in after a round trip. The entire day can be spent in the company of the historic buildings, forts, mosques, mausoleums and the most eye-catching dream in Mable, The Taj.
