My memorable Trip to India
We have returned from a stunning trip to India. My experience was wonderful. You can say that India is a combination of different countries: hundreds of interesting people, fascinating monuments, and delicious food.
I want to share every moment. First, our trip began in New Delhi, which is known as the heart of India. We visited all the popular tourist sites: Red Fort, Lotus Temple, etc. Then, we moved to Jodhpur. After that, we reached Jaipur, and we spent two nights there. We moved for an elephant ride at the fort. It was exciting; the fort was beautiful, and the Museum was also worth visiting. Finally, we arrived at Agra, where we saw the famous landmark "The Taj Mahal" at the time of sunrise. It was a treat to watch. It attracts 7_8 million visitors a year. I think that any tourist who visits India for the first time has to watch The Taj Mahal which was commissioned in 1632 by Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is 73m tall, and it has an area of 17 hectares. It was completed in 1653. It was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being the Jewel of Muslim Art in India and one of the admired masterpieces of the world's heritage. This fascinating monument was designed by the architect "Ustad Ahmad Lahauri"…
I wish that India will become the most famous tourist destination in the world.
