Hey Questers! 👋

I finally did it. After seeing it in textbooks and wallpapers for years, I finally packed my bags (and my iQOO, of course!) and headed to Agra to see the Taj Mahal with my own eyes.

Being a first-time traveler to Agra, I wasn't sure if the "hype" would be real. Spoiler alert: It’s better.😁

🏛️ The "First Look" Feeling

🤔Walking through the Darwaza-i-Rauza (the main gateway), 🙂there’s this specific moment where the white marble just... glows. It doesn't look like a building; it looks like a dream. As a first-timer, 💤I spent a good 10 minutes just standing there, trying to process the symmetry.

If you’re planning your first trip, here’s what I learned the hard way

✨The 5:30 AM Struggle: Yes, the sunrise alarm is painful, but seeing the first light hit that marble? Worth every second. Plus, fewer people in your frames!

🌞Travel Light: Security is super strict. Avoid carrying big bags or electronics other than your phone/camera. It’ll save you a lot of time at the gate.

💤The "Secret" Angle: Most people crowd the front reflecting pool. Try heading to the Mehtab Bagh across the river at sunset for a completely different perspective (and killer silhouette shots

).

📱 Shot on iQOO

💤I’ve attached some of my favorite clicks below. I was honestly blown away by how the sensor handled the bright white marble against the blue sky without blowing out the highlights. The detail in the inlay work (Pietra Dura) is insane when you zoom in!

✨Traveller's Note: Don’t just look through the lens. Put the phone down for 5 minutes, sit on the benches, and just feel the breeze. It’s a vibe you can’t capture in megapixels.

I hope you like my thread 

Thank you
