Perfect Escape From the Rush of the City

Tired of travelling tens of kilometres in the dust and grime of the city on a daily basis so you can reach work on time? Feel like you need a nice break from the buzz of the city? You are hardly alone. Life in any big metro can be stressful, all the more so if you live in a city like Delhi, where the distances you need to travel are vast. There’s a solution for this, and all you need to do is get away.

 

Many views of the Taj

 

You could probably head to Agra, if you are living in Delhi. If you are visiting Delhi on business, Agra is a good weekend break away. Book yourself into one of the hotels there, and throw the curtains open in your room/suite to catch the minarets of the Taj. You can view the gleaming marble structure against the backdrop of the night sky and the shining stars. If this is not an ideal break from the rush of the city, then what is!

 

A calm ambience, great interior decor of the suite and hotel, and the gardens and pools, are all bound to soothe your frayed nerves. Make trips to the Taj at different times, and enjoy the marbled wonder in different settings – morning sky, evening sky, etc. Choose a hotel that is designed in keeping with Mughal art and architectural styles. That way, you can enjoy the soothing sound of fountains, birdsong, and gaze at frescoes made in the Mughal style. You can walk under the shade of huge green trees, as torches throw patterned light on the pathways. You will be made to feel truly royal. The pavilions, pools and lawns are all designed so you can feel relaxed and focus only on aesthetics and beauty.

 

Unique experience

 

What’s more, the hotel is bound to offer you a nice candle-light dinner option as well, so you can leave all your troubles behind and just spend time with your loved ones.

 

Unwind at the spa

 

A spa-experience in Agra is bound to mirror royal styles. You can soak in a bath-tub of rose petals as you watch the Taj through the window, or get a pedicure done in the salon. You can pamper yourself by way of a nice therapy as well. Some of the therapies last a full three hours wherein you can enjoy a steam session, a nice exfoliation with pomegranate, a massage etc. You could opt for other therapies involving a mud wrap etc.

 

Backdrop of nature’s glory

 

About 600 mts from the Taj is a forested region where you can go on a walk so you can spot the monument in a range of settings. Nature’s beauty serves as perfect foil for you to enjoy this architectural marvel, so plan an unhurried visit to Agra today. There are plenty of hotels in Agra to choose from, but opt for one that gives you the best glimpse of the Taj and reflects the glory of the Mughal period.
