India Taj Mahal
Visiting India without visiting the Taj Mahal is like... I don't know. You just shouldn't miss it! The Taj Mahal is probably the most photographed building in the world. Still, I find it worth giving it a try because it is just so beautiful!

Photography Tips
It can be a good idea to hire a boat for sunrise and photograph the Taj Mahal from the Yamuna River. Security is not happy about this, therefore the price for a boat trip is high... Still, I found it worthwhile.
Travel Information
When you stay in front of the main gate go right until you come down to the river. There you will find the boatmen. It's best to make an appointment one day in advance.
