Whenever you hear the name Agra, the iconic Taj Mahal pops up in your mind. While millions of people admire this marvel from its marble courtyard few travellers know about a tranquil green oasis that allows you see it from a different and refreshing perspective—the Taj Nature Park. Located just a stone’s throw from the Taj Mahal, a lushly manicured ecological park lets visitors view the monument at several natural points — without crowds or noise.

Taj Nature Park is an initiative of the Agra Social Forestry Division and is a delight for those who love the outdoors, photographers, bird watchers and those travellers who desire a peaceful and off-beat experience in the city of the Taj. Stone paved trails take you through lush green gardens with the Taj Mahal rising elegantly in the distance. The quiet Twitter of the birds, the dancing butterflies and the rustle of leaves will give you a feeling of nature when you heritage even closer.
