Taj Mahal / Final Wonder of the World

Twelve years and 85,000 miles later, we finally made it our final Wonder of the World, the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. My family and I have officially traveled to all 7 new Wonders of the World + 1 Ancient Wonder (see our photo collage here on my Tumblr). I am so incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to travel the world with my family. I can not even come close to fully expressing my gratitude in words. But I will forever cherish the memories I have made with my family over the years.

Seeing the Taj Mahal was such an incredible experience. The Taj Mahal is absolutely breathtaking in person and was much larger than I originally imagined in my head. We arrived just before sunset and got to enjoy a gorgeous evening (though I’ve heard sunrise at the Taj Mahal is equally beautiful)!

Happy Monday! I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas. It’s been so nice to be home with my family (and to have some warm weather here in Texas).

After three nights in Delhi, we headed to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. Though the Taj Mahal is definitely the most noted destination in Agra, the Agra Fort is definitely something not to be missed! We enjoyed walking around the grounds of the gorgeous fort. I was really glad that we had a guide for this little day trip as there were a ton of things to learn about the Agra Fort (also known as the Agra Red Fort). If you are in Agra and want to visit something cool along with the Taj Mahal, the Agra Fort is a must-see.

Henna

by Mackenzie

For our first day exploring New Delhi, we started by enjoying lunch with one of my college professors (that teaches at Ole Miss, but is originally from India). He took us to one of his favorite local restaurants, and we really enjoyed trying a variety of Indian dishes. It was awesome to get to spend time in India with one of my college professors!

After our eventful lunch, we headed to the India Gate. The India Gate, a gorgeous monument located in New Delhi, was such a wonderful late afternoon visit. There was tons of street food and good people watching. Allie and I couldn’t resist getting street henna done, which was a really unique experience. We also found it really amusing that locals wanted to take pictures with us during our time at the India Gate. This was something we also experienced during our time traveling in China back when I was in middle school! Pretty funny!

For our day exploring New Delhi, I wore a white midi skirt paired with a denim top and lace up sandals. In India, they are quite conservative with their attire, so I felt very comfortable with my knees and shoulders covered. Allie wore a long skirt and sleeved top as well!

Stay tuned for more pics from our most recent adventure 🙂
