As with most tourist destinations in the north of India, Agra had been badly affected by the fall in tourist numbers following the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai. This clearly had a devastating effect on small businesses struggling to survive. The less serious, yet extremely annoying, effect on us was an intensification in the hassle factor. It was, however, very sad to see shop owners desperately trying to sell us pairs of quality-made leather shoes for less than one pound.

Everybody visits Agra to see the Taj Mahal. Although visually spectacular, particularly when viewed from afar, we were equally as impressed by Agra’s many other sights, such as Agra Fort, Akbar’s mausoleum and the Itmad-Ud-Daulah.
