Wonders of the World and surely the most extravagant expression

the highlight of the tour. Later you may wish to explore

rulers. It comprises many fairy-tale palaces, such as
the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan; audience
halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two very
beautiful mosques. Later from here we proceed to a photo
tour of the Taj Mahal from the riverside to capture the
splendid
views of the Taj situated across the river Yamuna and from Mehtab
Bagh — the moonlit garden — believed to have been designed
by Shah Jahan to view the Taj on moonlit nights, far away from
the maddening crowd, The garden complex is
situated on the left bank of Yamuna opposite to TajMahal. It is
a huge square measuring approximately 300x300m and in
straight alignment with the Taj Mahal. The forestry plantations
and agricultural fields provide a green forecourt to TajMahal
and its reflection in Yamuna.
