How to see the Taj Mahal
How I did it: I was fortunate enough to travel to New Delhi for work, and went with two associates and a tour guide for a full day (9 hours driving, plus time in the Taj and the Baby Taj). Left at 6:00am and made it to the Taj a little after 10:00. Spent 2 hours their on a guided tour, then went to lunch with my associates. Some time shopping at local rug and marble shops, then about an hour at the "Baby Taj". After that, a drive back to New Delhi with a quick stop at McDonalds about halfway and back in the hotel by 9:00pm.
Lessons & tips: I definitely recommend getting a tour guide - seeing the Taj is wonderful, but there is so much detail and history that you miss without someone walking you through the entire grounds. Also, get a good, no, GREAT driver, as the traffic is indescribably crazy.
