The Will Smith pic was hilarious. The Taj Mahal truly is a world class destination. It’s definitely worth it to go early to experience it with the sunrise and the few people.
Please visit Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India. It's considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down.
in the year 2022 city of Mahabalipuram in South India is most visited among foreigner way more than Taj Mahal. finally foreigners starting to see the true beauty of India. maybe it is time foreign vloggers too visit other parts of India to experience them.
@@nicoleandmicodon’t worry. These guys are just jealous because this beautiful architecture was made by and for Muslims. Is just a racist pet whole of a country. Although it is easy to farm subscribers, cuz the people are so dumb?
really enjoyed your visit captured on video keep up the good work forgot to mention the picture that i like is of Nicole on the bench with the back ground of the taj mahal where by princess diana had no back ground so in my mind that was the best pic i seen
Loving your India vlog series so far. Don't know how long you plan to be in India or where all you plan to visit, but one thing you would definately notice is that each state of India has its own unique culture, food and natural beauty. In fact, India is typically clustered by the geographical zones - North, East, West, South, Central and North East. Each of these regional zones will offer something unique for you to see and experience. That is the beauty of India - it's cultural diversity that constantly changes as one travels 100km in any direction. Wishing you both a wonderful time and hope you get to see all what India has to offer, be it in this trip or any future trips.
@@nicoleandmico do visit khajuraho(temples with some erotic art), u will never forget the feeling. It is in central India not far from agra. Thank me later
Great video! Made me appreciate the monument more even though I can see it everyday by just going to the roof of our house 3km away. The Tom cruise one was most accurate but the Will Smith one takes the cake :p
We're glad you enjoyed the vlog! It's such a stunning place and you are so lucky to live so close to it 😁 its so beautiful and we could probably look at it everyday with a nice masala tea in hand 😊☕️
Was just there last week and was looking for a vlog which highlighted the incredible experience the way I saw it. Yours has been the best I've found so thank you! And amazing job putting it together!! It pains me to say it, but I was one of the idiots who fell victim to both a guide and photographer scam which ended up costing me an absurd amount of money. Granted, I was by myself -- so the idea of having someone else take nice pics of me at Taj was worthwhile, but you cannot believe what they got from me $$-wise. Still, the beauty of the site is a forever memory now, and I agree the mosque on the west side is an absolute wonder all by itself. I also was amazed by the courtyard outside the main entryway which was surrounded by four perfectly aligned gates in each direction. The precision of everything there is incredible....
Yes, the tomb's placement is asymmetrical. If you notice, Mumtaz's tomb is dead center inside the mausoleum, it is Shah Jahan whose tomb seems to be rather out of place and asymmetrical. It is because he was not supposed to be buried there. He had planned an exact replica of the Taj Mahal to be built on the opposite Bank of the Yamuna River(the one in your video) where he wished to be buried upon his death and this Taj Mahal 2 was supposed to be built completely out of Black Granite. There were supposed to be two of these super structures, the white and the black Taj Mahal contrasting one another on either bank of the Yamuna River. But before he could commence work on the second building, his son Aurangzeb ran a coup and overthrew his father and imprisoned him at the Agra Fort where he eventually died and was finally buried next to Mumtaz in the mausoleum of the Taj, hence the asymmetry. Hope you guys had an amazing time! Much love❤️
Ohhh that is so interesting! We had heard part of that story, but only the bit about his son over throwing him. Thanks for sharing the rest of it with us!
@@nicoleandmico Not a problem! As you explore more of India, many more such stories shall find their way to you guys. Keep exploring and Love to you both✌️😄❤️
Cool shots!! Visiting early really did make it worth it for those shots. Are you visiting the south on this trip? Bangalore, Goa, Kerala or perhaps the Andaman Islands?
Taj was More white before. Bcz of Acid rain it's colour gradually change into little pale,btw it's a beautiful place to visit. Hope u will explore more Heritage sites of Incredible India 🇮🇳 ( The real Indian culture) . Also i recommend u Andaman Nicobar Islands ( Bay of Bengal) or Lakshadweep Island,that will feel like Maldives. Also Lots of Ancient Temple or caves Or U can Visit Gaya where Bhagwan Buddha meditate under tree.
Hi Nicole and Mico, I just got U2 on your videos and I quickly subscribe yours because I sure enjoyed the way you are so happy and I love this. I want to tell you that I was in Agra and see the Taj Mahal and then Red Fort. I traveled only 2 weeks but right now I sure would love to be with my husband ""Reed""".I was at the Taj Mahal on March 2014. It sure seams like it was a long time ago. I am so glad that U2 are so funny.. I want to tell you about me.I will find out from Matt Fraser who is a Psychic being, and I am on the 14 January 2023 to find out if I was Queen Mumtaz Mahal I know I know you will say"" WHAT""I intuatively know and at an Ashram im went to told me that I was the Queen. Ever since then I was in dough but that is why I am seeing Matt Fraser on the 14 January 2023. I will let you know of what theTRUTH really is in the mean time I sure will enjoy your videos.Buy the way I just find out that you are Canadian I am French Canadian. I am retired living in Windsor, Ontario.I am 69 years young so this is it for me on travelling more. We should see my "Reed" and I. By the way were are U2 from in Canada?.........................Namaste.............
Nicole and Mico if you have time then visit akshardham temple in New Delhi. I am sure you will forget to Taj mahal. Definitely you will become mesmerized. Even I can say that it's 8th wonder of the world. Please visit.
Traveling solo to India in March 2024, I plan to visit Taj Mahal on my own. Thx for this very informative video and the one about riding the first class train from New Delhi. Would you please let me know where you bought the train ticket and entrance ticket to Taj Mahal (online websites) ? Thanks for your reply and happy travels!
Glad you enjoyed! If I recall correctly we got the tickets online and then all we had to do was scan our code. At the gate. It took the hassle out of having to buy it there because purchasing and entering the area are two separate lines. Buying in advance was the way to go. Enjoy your trip! 😁
ancient India used to have lot of excellent architectures better than these ones. during Islamic rule in India especially in Mughal period about 47000 temples and several other structures were destroyed. others were demolished by the European rulers. that's why India hardly has any ancient structures left in North India. however there are quite a lot of them in South India especially states of Karnataka and Tamilnadu.
Not just hindu, a lot of magnificent buddhist temples and monasteries too, either demolished or converted into temples over the years. History is far more complicated than a simple render. Its really shocking for many to discover that most grand old hindu temples are really just modified squatted buddhist temples.
@@sleepEasy2 With regards that's not quiet true. However what is true is that the Islamic invasions of India did cause destruction to many temples and Buddhist monastery of North India.These buildings were architectural masterpieces and in reality world heritages.
@@jayajmeria5250 not true shankracharya was infamous for gutting buddhist monasteries. History has always been brutal. It's just human nature to destroy the very things we love.
Thank you for sharing! If you already mentioned it in your video, I apologise, but what month were you there? I would like to go and avoid crowds and the intense heat :))
Finally you visited much-hyped heritage site of Taj Mahal. FYI, there are many more wonders far better than TAJ waiting for you. Hope you see few of them. Which cities are you visiting?
@@mscommerce Yes I am a proud Hindu, and yes it is a fact that there are better things to see in India than TAJ. Better Jain, Buddhist, Sikhs, Parsi monuments and temples to see. But everything is compassed in India, so I don't have any issue as long as the foreign tourist are safe in India and enjoy to the fullest. I would suggest everyone to not visit TAJ as they are the ancestors of the people who aim to break India or in some cases chop them.
Dilwara temple, Taj Mahal, Ajanta and Ellora Caves and Madurai Meenakshi Temple are the most beautiful and complex structures in India. Among these Madurai Meenakshi temple is the largest covering 14 acres, having over 3000 pillars and 33000 sculptures . Construction started in 12th century and completed in 18th century.
As beautiful as the Taj Mahal is, I love how people in the comments are also aware about the lost glory of North Indian temples and how they were destroyed by Islamic invaders. Would love you guys to visit Darjeeling, Leh (Ladakh), Shimla/Manali, Bengaluru, GOA, Munnar etc
Its not about aware its ranting jealousy ! Mix with fake news !! Claim krne k liye kyaa jaata hai kal ko pyramid ko kehdo hindu structure sarr !! Pehle khud decide krlo bolna kya chahte ho koi kehta 40 hazar mandir today diye sarrr koi kehta 2 lakh sarr yeh list pata nu kahan se lekar aate hai ! Jab evidence or proof wohhh hai nahi !

That is LITERALLY my problem all the time. Do i take a photo.. do i run around and record everything. It’s a lot harder for me as a solo traveler because there is no one who can help me capture the photos while I record but i still try to balance it out! Great video guys
Yes it can be really tough! We hope that by at least knowing where to go right away this can help save you the time of running around. It's such a beautiful place and so easy to get lost in all the picturesque spots.
India means not only Tajmahal there are number of structures carved very intrecrately and more sophisticated carving than tajmahal. please visit them come down south you will experience this in lot more temples unfortunately those were never been shown as like Tajmahal.
The most beautiful place is Tirupati Vrindavan Ujjain Mahakal Sriranga Mana Temple Golden Temple There are many such which are very beautiful. I am one of the most beautiful place in the world, where the mind gets peace, and all the sorrows are forgotten 🙂🥰🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️
Can we go early morning from Delhi and visit the Taj Mahal and then can we come back to Delhi on the same day? How many hours you recommended for this trip
Taj Mahal is beautiful but India has lots of great architecture more incredible then the Taj. here are some of them- Kailasa temple at Ellora caves in Sambhaji Nagar Brihadeeswara temple in Thanjavur Chennakeshava Temple, Belur Jain Temple in Ranakpur The Hampi Temple Complex In Karnataka Hoysalesvara Temple in Karnataka Shravanabelagolatatue Jain Temple In Karnataka Khajuraho Group Of Monuments In Madhya Pradesh
until 1857 taj mahal used to be studded with diamonds and precious stones before those were looted in British rule. top spire of taj mahal used to be all gold, it got looted and replaced with a brass one. indian style fruit and flower gardens were cut and british lawns were grown.
Guys please visit mathura and vrindavan • visit Radha Rani temple in Barsana • visit yamuna river in Barsana Then go to mathura from there In Mathura • visit Kansas kila •shree krishna janam bhumi (birth place of lord Krishna) Then go to vrindavan from there In vrindavan visit • Prem mandir (love Temple) recommended to visit in evening •iskcon temple •bakey bihari temple. Lemme know if you need any help or guidance;)
Okay did you noticed when you are getting inside the gate of taj mahal.... You cannot see the building clearly.. When u move forward it becomes to be clear
@nicoleandmico Hi Nicole & Mico, thank you for the great India vlogs! I’d love to know how you deal with cellular data coverage while in different countries, as well as having a local phone number when it's needed? (Even though great, we’ve found that Google Fi won't work for us as Americans traveling full-time internationally, because we are not going back to the USA regularly, which Google requires.) Relying on Wifi doesn't seem ideal, as Wifi in an Airbnb or hotel may be ok, but what about using maps for navigation when out and about and not on Wifi, etc? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
Did you guys go to the Red Fort? That's a Palace built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605), the grandfather of Shah Jahan who built the Taj Mahal. It's nearby. There is also Humayun"s tomb. This is the Emperor Humayun (r. 1530- 1540; 1556), the father of the Emperor Akbar, great grandfather of Shah Jahan.
hey do come to visit rishikesh and haridwar too. These are the cultural center of hinduism. You will discover something new for sure. But be aware of scammer.😊😊😊😊
The tombs on top are empty and the real tombs are buried underneath the Taj Mahal ...where they have secret paths to go underground in catacombs which is sealed for tourist as the place is very fragile but archeologist are allowed for studies.
About the Mughals. They were descended from the Mongols. They invaded India from Afghanistan in 1526 capturing Delhi. They ruled till 1856 when the last Emperor, Bahadur Shah II was forced to abdicate by the British following the Sepoy Mutiny against British colonial rule.
Tamerlane and Genghis Khan are also related. Both are descendants of Kaidu, ancestor of the Khamag Mongol confederation in Mongolia who lived in the 9th century.
Actually taj mahal was more whiter when I visited it in 2001….because of the industries it has become a bit yellow now….u can see how white it was in the princess Diana photo
You should visit kailasa temple in Maharashtra you will be amazed then compare Taj Mahal to that temple taj Mahal is no where close to the that you should visit southern part of India there are magnificent temples which are very older and beautiful than taj mahal Architecture of those temples can't be matched
The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658) for his favourite wife, Mum Taz Mahal, who bore him 16 children and who died in childbirth. He commissioned 40,000 workers to build it. It used to look much grander as it's walls was studded with diamonds, which were stripped in 1740s by the Iranian Nader Shah (r. 1736-1747) when he invaded Agra.
The Taj is actually made of red sandstone, faced with marble. Google photos of Taj from a drone: you'll see that the roof (except the parts you can see from the ground) is completely of unfaced sandstone.
Welcome 😄 Great to have u in India. Taj Mahal is Muslim architecture & the picture u shown is akshardham which is a Hindu temple. It's kind of disrespectful when u say things like crazy to idols in temple.
Sorry if crazy doesn't translate very well. In Canada saying something is crazy is like saying it is amazing or really impressive. Maybe it isn't used the same in India
@@nicoleandmico Sorry, l got it completely wrong. It's my mistake. Hope u have a wonderful journey ahead in Incredible India 🇮🇳. Be wanderlust always . ☮️ Peace
in your future visit of India please visit explore more of South India. if you visit state of Tamil Nadu you will see lots of exceptional architecture of unbelievable beauty thousands of years old made of granite rocks been through invasions, natural calamities and still standing. it is a great shame that those things India should be proud about have been kept secret from the Indians themselves and also the outside world. now that because of internet Indians who are really interested in knowing have started knowing how rich past India at had.
Okay so which celebrity photo did you like best? 📷🤭
the last celeb photo got me laughing really hard of you both😂😂😂
Will
The "will Smith" one was the most accurate...... Made my day frfr 😂😂😂
Sitting next to each other and showing us the view of Taj Mahal was the best - it was priceless!
Princess Diana I like the most❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can we go early morning from Delhi and visit the Taj Mahal and then can we come back to Delhi on the same day? How many hours you recommended for this trip
Yes it's possible! You have to leave very early though. It only takes around 3hrs to go around the whole site.
Taj Mahal is beautiful but India has lots of great architecture more incredible then the Taj. here are some of them-

until 1857 taj mahal used to be studded with diamonds and precious stones before those were looted in British rule. top spire of taj mahal used to be all gold, it got looted and replaced with a brass one. indian style fruit and flower gardens were cut and british lawns were grown.
Really?! Wow we hadn't heard that. That's very interesting
@@nicoleandmico this was the fate of most of the great structures in india

@nicoleandmico Hi Nicole & Mico, thank you for the great India vlogs! I’d love to know how you deal with cellular data coverage while in different countries, as well as having a local phone number when it's needed? (Even though great, we’ve found that Google Fi won't work for us as Americans traveling full-time internationally, because we are not going back to the USA regularly, which Google requires.) Relying on Wifi doesn't seem ideal, as Wifi in an Airbnb or hotel may be ok, but what about using maps for navigation when out and about and not on Wifi, etc? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
Did you guys go to the Red Fort? That's a Palace built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605), the grandfather of Shah Jahan who built the Taj Mahal. It's nearby. There is also Humayun"s tomb. This is the Emperor Humayun (r. 1530- 1540; 1556), the father of the Emperor Akbar, great grandfather of Shah Jahan.
How much time it takes to explore Taj
I would budget about 3 hours at a casual pace. We got in first thing (6am) and left around 9 or 10.
hey do come to visit rishikesh and haridwar too. These are the cultural center of hinduism. You will discover something new for sure. But be aware of scammer.😊😊😊😊
Salamat sa visiting India po 😍❤️Ganda both of you i appreciate po ❤️
Visit Akshardham temple!
We did and it was amazing
Akshardham Temple is a scam and a rip-off of some great Buddhist temples
You should visit to akshardham tempal, biggest tempal in India in Delhi.
We did and it was wonderful!
The tombs on top are empty and the real tombs are buried underneath the Taj Mahal ...where they have secret paths to go underground in catacombs which is sealed for tourist as the place is very fragile but archeologist are allowed for studies.
About the Mughals. They were descended from the Mongols. They invaded India from Afghanistan in 1526 capturing Delhi. They ruled till 1856 when the last Emperor, Bahadur Shah II was forced to abdicate by the British following the Sepoy Mutiny against British colonial rule.
Tamerlane and Genghis Khan are also related. Both are descendants of Kaidu, ancestor of the Khamag Mongol confederation in Mongolia who lived in the 9th century.
The will smith one by far was the most accurate, I could not have in a million years told the difference
👌👍
Actually taj mahal was more whiter when I visited it in 2001….because of the industries it has become a bit yellow now….u can see how white it was in the princess Diana photo
Interesting! I can't imagine hoe blinding it would be it if was any whiter!
You should visit kailasa temple in Maharashtra you will be amazed then compare Taj Mahal to that temple taj Mahal is no where close to the that you should visit southern part of India there are magnificent temples which are very older and beautiful than taj mahal Architecture of those temples can't be matched
The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658) for his favourite wife, Mum Taz Mahal, who bore him 16 children and who died in childbirth. He commissioned 40,000 workers to build it. It used to look much grander as it's walls was studded with diamonds, which were stripped in 1740s by the Iranian Nader Shah (r. 1736-1747) when he invaded Agra.
The Taj is actually made of red sandstone, faced with marble. Google photos of Taj from a drone: you'll see that the roof (except the parts you can see from the ground) is completely of unfaced sandstone.
Welcome 😄 Great to have u in India.
Taj Mahal is Muslim architecture & the picture u shown is akshardham which is a Hindu temple.
It's kind of disrespectful when u say things like crazy to idols in temple.
Sorry if crazy doesn't translate very well. In Canada saying something is crazy is like saying it is amazing or really impressive. Maybe it isn't used the same in India
@@nicoleandmico Sorry, l got it completely wrong. It's my mistake.
Hope u have a wonderful journey ahead in Incredible India 🇮🇳.
Be wanderlust always . ☮️ Peace
No problem thank you for watching ans we hope you enjoyed! 😊
I live so close to taj but still i never visited it coz i knw its actual history
Please visit Pakistan soon.
do visit
kolkata, India
We will! Our visir to Kolkata will be out on our channel in a few weeks!
in your future visit of India please visit explore more of South India. if you visit state of Tamil Nadu you will see lots of exceptional architecture of unbelievable beauty thousands of years old made of granite rocks been through invasions, natural calamities and still standing. it is a great shame that those things India should be proud about have been kept secret from the Indians themselves and also the outside world. now that because of internet Indians who are really interested in knowing have started knowing how rich past India at had.
