Impressive red sandstone tomb of Akbar set in peaceful parkland with deer and monkeys. The tomb is a surprise as is set in the heart of the building with interesting entrance and acoustics. Definitely worth going out of your way to visit. More

if you are visiting Agra from Delhi, then you'll come across this monument first, far before you see Taj Mahal. Try visiting Taj Mahal first. When you are about to return and have time of about 3-4 hours. Come to this place when the sun is a bit less scorching and sun set is near. All you'll see is the... More

Enjoyed thsi visit at the recommendation of our driver - it was certainly worth a visit and was relatively quiet - very few non-Indian tourists. More

The mix of white and red sanstone creates a beautiful monument. This stop is a must if you are travelling between Delhi and Agra. More

A very nice sight - in any other place it would be a highlight but so close to Agra it stands in the shade of much more impressive monuments More

I would not say there is much in this place except Akbar's tomb, if time is running out for you, no harm making a miss on this one. A fairly dull and quiet place this one but no harm for a quick stop if you have an hour to walk around and take some pictures More

I would not say this was a happening place. Nothing much out there except Akbar's tomb. A fairly dull and quiet place, if time is running out you can miss it. Since it is around the vicinity and if you have an hour no harm a stop after all. More

We went out here as our first site on a half-day driving tour of Agra. The inside of the tomb is really beautiful, one of the better ones we saw on our trip to India. There weren't many people there so we could wander the grounds without being hasseled. Like with all of the sites we saw, it's best to... More
