Taj Mahal

A street in Agra
Taj Mahal, Agra
Which station is convenient for visiting Taj.
is it Agra Fort Railway station or Agra Cantt. Good and budget hotels are near which station and for a family which location hotels should be preferred. would also appreciate if somebody can advise good budget hotels.
Thanks in advance
Fort Railway Station is more convenient, but most trains only stop at Agra Cantt., so you don't have a choice. Taj Ganj has a lot of good budget hotels
(fairly close to the Taj Mahal). The area around both Railway Stations is noisy and not very nice...
Agra Fort Station is near the Taj Mahal as compared to Agra Cantt Station. You can get down at any of the stations, however, you can also see Agra Fort if you choose Agra Fort Railway Station for your drop.
Also, there are many good hotels in the Fatehabad Road or the Taj Ganj area near the Taj Mahal. You can choose any hotels here because they mostly have terrace view of Taj. You can stay there and also enjoy views from the terrace when you want to have a cup of coffee.
Budget hotels are mostly found near the Taj Ganj area which is very near to the Taj Mahal.So you can get down at Agra Fort Station and get a hotel in Taj Ganj.

I was in Agra last month and enjoyed a lot there.
I thought the Taj was going to be a disappointment. It has so much hype associated with it.
But when I got there, I was stunned by both the beauty and the intricacy of the place as well as its size and scope.
The one thing I'd definitely suggest is an early start. You've GOT to beat the crowds and get in there quick and leave slow...
A combined ticket gets you entrance to both the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort ~ it's a tough fit to manage both in one day, but it's also a shame to move on with only a visit to the Taj Mahal.
The city itself can be a tough one ~ a preponderance of touts, beggars and tricksters ~ but the rewards are high. A rooftop patio with a good curry and a cold beer wash away any of the day's frustrations. What will be left lingering is a sense of wonder and admiration.
Somebody's kid is taken on tuk-tuk, I can't say anything in just a mere photo but whenever I saw something interesting I will snap immediately, that's the advantage of digital cameras. You can see a small kid is getting something from the young man, and the place is a restaurant.
Roadside Barber is one of my favourite collection of Agra photos. I especially like the background and you can't see other things around it, just the focus point in the centre, really its my favourite.
Damoth is made from lentils (a type of legume) and fried in little tiny bits. Traditionally from Agra, it is eaten in combination with peitha (sweet pumpkin mentioned in previous tip). You have a wee nibble of peitha with a small handful of dalmont.
Damoth comes in many different types - mixed with split lentils, mild, spicy...
