Explore the hilltop Amber Fort before visiting the ornate Hawa Mahal, the Palace of the Winds. Top off the day with an all-singing, all-dancing Bollywood blockbuster experience. | | Day 4 | Agra | Described as a 'teardrop on the face of eternity', the majestic Taj Mahal must be seen to be believed - and lives up to all expectations.
