obviously taj mahal in agra. palace of the winds in jaipur was really neat as was fabric market nearby. check out red fort and old delhi in ND. have fun!

A friend and I visited India this summer, and she had never been there – so I picked out ‘must see’ sights I could take her to.

Here’s what we visited:

Mumbai
-Mani Bhavan (Gandhi’s home in Mumbai)
-Haji Ali Tomb
-Gateway of India
-Colaba Street (for good shopping)

Jaipur
-Jantar Mantar: This place is amazing! It is a astronomy park built in the 1400s and uses huge sci-fi looking structures to map and follow the sun, planet, moon and even Earth orbits.
-Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds)
-Choki Dhani (a traditional Rajesthani restaurant in a village setting)

Delhi
-Qutub Minar
-Akshardham
-Rajghat (Gandhi’s Memorial and final resting place)
-Bahai Lotus Temple (gorgeous lotus-shaped temple)
-Lal Qila (Red Fort)

Agra
-Taj Mahal

Alot of this is very close to one another and can be seen within one day. Let me know if you need anything else!

I strongly recommend checking out the lotus temple (even if you don’t go inside, it is gorgeous even from a distance)
I also recommend the Taj Mahal (obviously). New Delhi can be quite difficult and overwhelming with all the people offering to sell you things or take you places to shop. I know there is a great licensed governmentally owned handicraft shop in New Dehli, but we could never get a rickshaw driver to take us there, they always took us to the places that they received a kickback for bringing tourists.
Have a great time,
