Besides the Taj Mahal, what are the best places in India to visit?

I am going to India in February on business. I am going to be there for three weeks and was wondering what are some other places worth visiting. I am actually going to be staying in Kolkata on the eastern side of the country. As of right now the only place I know I am going is the Taj Mahal, which is far far away from where I am staying as it is...






Answer :
You can choose from any of the following 3 itineraries.
--------------------------------------…
ONE

Finish your business. Dedicate your free time in visiting Kolkata and around comprehensively. The time that you will be left with suit this itinerary the most as it will cheap, not all tiresome and confusing.

Kolkata
http://wikitravel.org/en/Kolkata
--------------------------------------…
TWO

Same as ONE. Add a visit to Taj Mahal. Here the cost will go up as you have to take a flight to Agra. and other expenses. If you are returning home via Delhi. You reach Delhi a few days early. Visit Taj Mahal in Agra. then return.

Taj Mahal
http://wikitravel.org/en/Agra#Taj_Mahal
--------------------------------------…
THREE
You finish your business in Kolkata and make Delhi your base before returning home.

Now think of a triangle. If Delhi is at the top corner of the triangle, then Taj Mahal (in Agra) is in the right corner of the triangle and Jaipur (in Rajasthan) in the left corner. In the triangle you will find, Amritsar. Outside the triangle in the right, Shimla, hill station will greet you.

This itinerary will be most costliest one among the three. If you have not made 1st class arrangements and reservations / advance bookings, then your holiday will be very disappointing as your duration of stay is very short and time is very tight.

India

Delhi

Taj Mahal

Jaipur
http://wikitravel.org/en/Jaipur

Shimla
http://wikitravel.org/en/Shimla

Amritsar
http://wikitravel.org/en/Amritsar
--------------------------------------…
Now 1st decide the best itinerary that suits you the most. Then if your are base is in Kolkata, that is option One and Two, contact your Hotel Manager and tell him to make arrangements and advance reservations / bookings.

Otherwise the manger of Delhi hotel where you stay in the option Three.

I suggest that you please go through all the links and then decide on which itinerary to choose.
--------------------------------------…
My personal suggestion will be wherever you go, go once to the Taj Mahal. Its beauty is not comparable with any other structure in the world. But if you have seen Statue of Liberty and Eiffel Tower. You will be more pleased.

I am an Indian. Born and brought up in Kolkata. Have been to all the parts of India due to by education and profession.








Answer :
As you plan on travellng from Kolkata to Agra, you might as well do the 'Golden Triangle', which consists of Delhi and Jaipur apart from Agra. In Delhi, people visit the Qutub Minar, Red Fort and the Lotus temple. Many tourist agencies organize tours for the Triangle, but you can hire a car too depending on your budget. Jaipur is in Rajasthan, and is most popular among foreign tourists. If you have your own (rented)car and time to spare, you can visit the nearby Bikaner, Jaisalmer 'The Golden City', and Jodhpur. All are extremely popular and have hotels suiting every budget. Near Delhi is Fatehpur Sikhri, a fort constructed by emperor Akbar.
If you want to visit the mountains and not the desert, you can either travel to Chandigarh, where you can catch a connecting train to Shimla, the Summer capital of the British Era. Or, you can travel to Haridwar(the holy city of the Hindus) from Delhi, which is also at the foothills of the Himalayas, and major piligrimage sites and tourist destinations are all closeby, i.e Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Dehra Dun, Mussoorie, etc.
EAST
Near Nepal and Bhutan in North Bengal in Darjeeling, a famous hill station known for tea.
From there you can visit Kaziranga National Park, which is quite far away though, but is very famous
South
Bangalore- IT city
Tamil Nadu- The state of Temples
Kerala for its beaches
HOpe I helped and good luck!






Answer :
The India gate and Qutab Minar in New Delhi built by the Mughals are the pride of not only of Delhi, but he whole India .The Gateway Of India in Mumbai,the Charminar of Hyderabad are also yet another important places to visit.
