This beautiful temple has won architectural awards and it's easy to see why, it's absolutely stunning! i really enjoyed my trip here and made sure to stay til sunset as the locals said it was especially lovely then, and they were right, although i don't think i'd have done it without my boyfriend in tow.

Delhi has many amazing buildings and attractions, but one of my favorites is Humayun’s Tomb, which actually served as a model for its more famous cousin, the Taj Mahal. It is a great way to spend an afternoon; just relaxing and enjoying the grounds while people watching, before going on a tour of the mausoleum itself.

Humayun's Tomb is a beautiful building with double domes, high archways and was built by Humayun's loving widow when he had an unlikely accident on the stairs of the library that brought him to an early death. He was a good and charismatic ruler and this structure set the stage for other Mughal architectural designs. Nearby, you can shop for brass wear, jewelry, Indian hand crafts, curios and clothing as well as see other burial sites.
