Though the list of travel attraction is big, but I have compiled few that I found interesting for domestic as well overland travellers.
Taj Mahal
Reflecting the aeonian theme of love and exhibiting beauty through pure white marbles, Taj Mahal stands high on the banks of Yamuna river in Agra. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal is an integral part of India, built in the memory of Mumtaz Mahal by Shah Jahan in 1653 A.D. Around 20,000 and more labours gave their heart and soul for the royal imagination of Shah Jahan.

Hawa Mahal, Rajasthan
Constructed in 1799 by Rajput Raja, Maharaja Sawai Pratap, the Hawa Mahal is a splendid structure, made of red and pink sandstone, and an example of amazing creativeness during the age of Rajput rulers. Hawa Mahal is a captivating mix of Rajput and Mughal styles of design. It was built at a time when 'purdah system’( i.e the Royal women should not be a subject to the public eye) was followed in India. Thereby, Hawa Mahal was made for the royal ladies to watch the clamoring city life and the dynamic celebrations, while avoiding them from general visibility. The five-storeyed Hawa Mahal was built to resemble the crown of Krishna, a Hindu god, as the Great Maharaja Sawai Pratap was his devotee.
