Taj View Hotel, Location

Location
There is nothing you cannot buy here-the famous Pashima 'ring shawls', lovingly restored antique furniture and original Indian art.

Agra is located 200 km from Delhi and was founded by Raja Badal Singh in 1475 A.D. The splendour of Agra, on the west bank of the River Yamuna, remains undiminished to this day. The city is the third apex of the famed "Golden Triangle" tourist route along with Delhi and Jaipur and is dotted with spectacular attractions like the massive Agra fort and the magnificent Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal is the most famed architectural marvel in the city (not to mention, the country) and literally dominates the skyscape with its myriad domes. The zest exuded by the city travels westward from the Taj through the labyrinth of bazaars. Southeast across a swathe of open parkland lies the travellers' enclave of Taj Ganj.

The city gained importance with the arrival of Mughals in 1526. Its mention as Agraban also appears in the Mahabharata, which suggests that it might have been on the outskirts of Mathura. Today, the city is well connected by air to Delhi, Khajuraho and Varanasi. It can be reached from any part of India through Railway services and is accessible by road from any part of Uttar Pradesh.
