Our tour guide Jai, with G-Adventures Tours known as a CEO - chief experience officer, told us he would give us a special treat while in Agra where the Taj Mahal is located.
Following a great day of touring starting with a sunrise at the Taj Mahal, a walk through of the Agra Fort and the baby Taj with a local guide the group was ready for some beers. Jai took us to a roof top bar outside of the southern gate to the Taj. This is in the area first established as the "city" where the 20,000 workers building the Taj lived. It's now simply a portion of the city of Agra. We walked up to the roof, turned around and saw the view you see in the pictures below: not a bad place for a few beers and watch the sun go down!!
Jai is an amazing young man. He comes from humble roots, living and working on his parents farm in his early life. His well educated father inspired him to become educated and work hard to achieve. After school he taught young disadvantaged children and ultimately got the job as a tour guide. He has been a G-Adventure's CEO FOR 5 years.
He is wonderful with people, takes care of us well and keeps us laughing all the way.
He has really made this tour for all of us, particularly this surprise which very few Taj Mahal tourists see!!
