I also covered some of the food joints in Agra, which has been shown in a separate video.
Within the 6 day time frame, i tried covering as much as possible, but i am sure there is much more to Agra than what has been shown in this video.
Given below is a list of Mausoleums and monuments i visited during 6 day trip in Agra:
1.Taj Mahal: Most popular tourist destination of Agra, lacs of visitors travel here every day. This Mausoleum was built by Mughal emperor Shah jahan in memory of his wife- Mumtaz Mahal.
Taj Mahal closed day: Friday.
2. Agra fort: It was residence of Mughal emperors until the Mughal capital was shifted from Agra to Delhi in 1638. Also called as Lal Qila, It is about 3 kms from Taj Mahal. It was made by Akbar in its present state, construction was completed in 1573. Agra fort is the place where Mughal emperor Shah jahan was put under house arrest by his son Aurangzeb during 1658 to 1666.
3. Guru Ka Tal Gurudwara: Dedicated to 9th Sikh Guru: Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. This is the place from where the Guru offered voluntary arrest to Aurangzeb. Water of Agra is salty but water of Gurudwara is sweet by the blessings of Guru. Langar in the Gurudwara is served 24 hours.
Distance from Agra cantt: 11 kms.
Distance from Sikandra: 2 kms
4. Sikandra: It is the Mausoleum of Mughal emperor Akbar. Construction of this tomb was completed by Akbar’s son - Jahangir between 1605 and 1613. Sikandra is name of the place, while the tomb is called - Akbar’s tomb.
Distance between Taj Mahal and Sikandra fort: 19 kms.
5. Fatehpur sikri: This city served as capital of Mughal emperor Akbar during the period 1571 to 1585. Some of the important buildings in the city: Buland Darwaza, tomb of salim chishti, Jama masjid, Diwan-i-aam, Diwan-i- khas, Ibadat khana, plus there are many more covered in the video.
Distance from taj Mahal: 45 kms, takes about 2 hours to travel on taxi.
Suggestion: Take a ASI guide along, who is available near ticket counter, you will not get officla guide at Buland Darwaza. There fee is about Rs 450 but it’s worth it.
Caution: You will notice many people there who will try to get some money offering guide services at cheaper cost, you will need to avoid them.
6. Sri Mankameshwar Temple: One of the ancient temples devoted to Lord shiva, Temple is situated at Rawatpara near Agra fort railway station. Lord Shiva wished Darshana of lord Krishna in child form for which he stayed here at this place.
7. Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah: This is the tomb was commissioned by Nur Jahan, wife of Jahangir for her father Mirza Ghiyas Beg .Built during 1622-1628 A.D, sometimes also called as Baby Taj.
Distance from Agra cantt: 9 kms.
Distance from Taj Mahal: 5 kms
8. Kalakriti: Theatre show about making of Taj Mahal, why it was built. Interesting to watch, if you love theatre, good performance by artists.
3 categories of tickets: Rs 1200, Rs 1500, Rs 1800.
Show timings: 7.45 pm to 8 pm, can be heard in multiple languages by use of ear phones, state of the art theatre experience at Agra. In particular i liked the small Taj that was shown towards the end of the program.
9. Ram bagh: Built by first Mughal emperor Babar for the purpose of relaxation.
Distance from Agra cantt: 9 kms
Good garden, well maintained , can be visited to spend good time with nature, lot of greenery around.

Fatehpur sikri was built by Mughal emperor Akbar. It is 37 kms from Agra, through our own cab it took us about one and a half hour to reach this Mausoleum.

It was built between 1569 and 1585, it was intended to be joint capital with Agra, but later on Mughal capital shifted to Delhi.
I did a full one day tour of Fatehpur Sikri, spent the day with Guide, who explained me about historical importance of this place.
During my tour of fatehpur sikri i visited the following:
Diwan- i- khas
Pnach mahal
Tomb of salim chishti

Places To Visit In Agra | Where To Go Other Than Taj Mahal | DesiGirl Traveller
In this video, I have explored several monuments of Agra. We all know that Taj Mahal (one of the world’s wonders) is in Agra and many people come to the city to witness this beauty. However, the beauty of Agra city is not just limited to Taj Mahal. There’s a lot to explore in this city. I have visited a few of the beautiful monuments and forts in Agra including Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpuri Masjid, Mehtab Bagh etc. Everyone knows about Taj Mahal. It doesn’t need an introduction. We know that this monument is one amongst the World’s Wonders, one amongst the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a legend of eternal love of an Emperor for his favourite Queen. Well, Taj Mahal has distinctions much beyond just these. Therefore, it surely deserves your visit once and more.
.
Agra Fort is another monument which you must visit when you are in Agra. This fort was built in the year 1573 by the king Akbar - one of the greatest Mughal Emperors. It is said that in-total 4000 workers worked for 8 years to complete the construction of this fort. This fort was built with an idea to make it the main residence of the Mughals. The architecture of Agra Fort which is also known as Red Fort of Agra is simply brilliant. This fort houses many impressive structures inside it including Khas Mahal, Jahangir Mahal, Diwan-e-Aaam, Diwan-e-Khaas, Moti Masjid, Machchhi Bhawan and a lot more. This fort is just 2.5 kilometers away from the Taj Mahal and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
.
Other than Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, Fatehpuri Masjid and Mehtab Bagh are the few places where tourist can visit in Agra. So, guys, that was all from my trip to Agra. I have done a few other videos on Agra, putting the links below. I hope you enjoy this video. Keep spreading love and share your travel stories with me. Loads of Love.

It offers a unique example of architectural ensembles of very high quality constructed between 1571 and 1585.
