Before we embarked on our home stay and school visits, Asia Education Foundation organized a cultural excursion to the Taj Mahal, a grand mausoleum made of white marble and built in Agra between 1631 and 1648.  It was built by the emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite and most trusted wife. Both Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan are buried at the mausoleum.

The trip there and back took up most of the day with an unplanned stop when our bus broke down, and a camel ride!

Ilia, one of other leaders, created the short movie that sums up our trip.
