Ok, the Taj kicks ass actually. It’s the only monument in India, which is well maintained, has all the channels filled with real water and looks like just build. Not the usual decay everything seems to have in India and no building facility either.
That’s probably also the reason it is so expensive: 750 Rps (around 15 Euro) to get in as a foreigner (500 Rps is state tax 😉 ). An Indian pays 10 Rps.
In comparison, the Agra Fort has the usual building facility / overusage feeling. The Taj is an exception it seems.
have you already been to this “rat-palace”?
No, but Jazzadiero has. It’s too far north for me unfortunatly.
