Chandra Mahal Haveli

Near Agra

A village manor with eleven rooms, an hour short of the Taj.

The place

A palatial old manor in a village outside Agra, with eleven rooms, a pool and courtyards, and the Taj Mahal a comfortable morning away. Staying out here instead of in Agra itself is the difference between a night in a city you will not enjoy and a night somewhere worth arriving at.

What is there

  • Eleven rooms in the old manor
  • Pool and courtyards
  • Guided walk around the village
  • Day trips to the Taj and Fatehpur Sikri
  • Meals cooked in the house
  • Quiet, which Agra is not

Getting there

About an hour from Agra.
