Uttar Pradesh
Home to the Taj Mahal and the eternal ghats of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh offers some of India's most recognisable and moving travel experiences.
The Taj Mahal and the ghats of Varanasi
The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra
Every room in this resort faces the Taj Mahal, just 600 metres away, across Mughal-style water gardens. Guests can watch the monument change colour at sunrise from a private balcony or the resort's own reflecting pools.
ITC Mughal, Agra
Built around Mughal-style courtyards and water channels on 35 landscaped acres, this resort recreates the grandeur of the era that built the Taj Mahal, just a short drive away. A luxury spa and multiple pools give it a genuine resort feel.
Taj Nadesar Palace, Varanasi
A 200-year-old palace set within 10 acres of private gardens, this intimate heritage hotel offers a quiet counterpoint to Varanasi's crowded ghats, while still being minutes from the riverfront. Only a handful of antique-furnished suites keep the palace feel intact.
Taj Ganges, Varanasi
Set within landscaped gardens close to the river, this hotel offers an easy base for dawn boat rides to watch the Ganga aarti ceremony along the ghats. Spacious rooms and a full-service spa provide a comfortable retreat after a day exploring the old city.
