Things to do in India include exploring the majestic Taj Mahal in Agra, standing beneath the towering Qutub Minar in Delhi, and wandering through the expansive Red Fort complex. Each site offers rich history and unique architecture, reflecting centuries of India's diverse cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
1. Qutub Minar
New Delhi
A towering icon of Mughal architecture and history, Red Fort showcases grand ramps and intricate sandstone and marble work. Walk ramparts, explore imperial halls, and catch the evening sound-and-light show.
Quick facts: A soaring red-and-cream sandstone minaret reaches about 73 meters, tapering through five ornamented stories topped by fluted balconies. Local visitors often point to an adjacent 7.2-meter iron pillar that has resisted rust, its unusually high phosphorus content baffling metallurgists.
Highlights: Scale the tight spiral of 379 steps to feel warm, worn stone under your palm and step onto a balcony where the city unfolds beneath a wash of sun. Nearby, a nearly mirror-smooth 7.2-meter iron pillar invites touch, and legend links its inscription to Emperor Chandragupta II while scientists credit a special alloy for over 1,600 years of corrosion resistance.
2. Red Fort
New Delhi
Step into a world of grand Mughal history and vibrant culture. Wander through majestic halls and stunning gardens steeped in royal splendor.
Quick facts: Explore a massive red sandstone fortress that spans over 160 acres with walls towering up to 33 meters high. Discover where emperors once held grand celebrations and intricate court ceremonies amid stunning Mughal architecture.
Highlights: Look closely at the exquisite pearl white marble inlays and intricate floral designs that adorn the walls, showcasing craftsmanship that took over a decade to perfect. Experience the evening sound and light show that narrates epic tales of battles and royal life with dramatic lighting effects on the fort’s imposing walls.
