Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Taj Mahal, a UNESCO world heritage site is a white marble structure and exquisite artwork of stone crafting and polishing. But that is not the sole aspect of the edifice that makes it one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Taj Mahal is vivid, charming and magical with its changing colors all throughout the day from morning to the night, Taj Mahal seems to be indifferent hues, said to portray the different moods of Mumtaz Mahal, to whom the monument is dedicated.

Stop 2

Agra red fort has been significant for almost four centuries now, Mughal ruled the glorious year in Indian history from here then followed by British Raj and presently by Indian armed forces. You will be guided across the fort and know about the Mughal administration and get a peek into the Royal family.

The Mughal Empire was at its peak under the Emperor Akbar The great, there are few kings from the Indian history who has the impact as great as Akbar. This monument is spread across 119 acres most of which is open ground. The Tomb was planned by Akbar himself which was later completed by his son, Jahangir. You can spot animals like deer, peacock, rabbits etc in the open area. The monument is another architecture feat of Mughal construction.

The Sheroes here, are women who have fought to survive after receiving a debilitating blow to their appearance and self-esteem by some members of the society. These women are on the way to becoming true fighters, who have the courage to live, work and walk in the midst of the society and force the society to reevaluate its norms about beauty and appearance. Unlike any other café or a general restaurant, this one is going to be solely run by the acid attack survivors. These acid attack survivors come from various backgrounds and diverse level of competences. Being unprivileged some of them perhaps have never been to a restaurant before. The model has to be projected in a way that can benefit the concerned acid attack survivor to the most possible extent. Hence to transform these acid attack survivors into successfully empowered earning women makes them an individual cult of inspiration among other survivors to be seen as “Sheroes” which sounds empowering in a strong positive connotation
