Agra, for events such as the Taj Mahotsav and breezy nature trails that may become inaccessible in the summer heat. Here are three things to do in Agra this February:

First up, from the 17th to the 27th of February, Taj Mahotsav is happening in the grounds surrounding the Taj Mahal. This festival is a cultural extravaganza featuring folk music, dance performances, and crafts from various states of India.
And this year, it's going to be even more special as they're introducing hot air balloon rides and heritage walks through Agra, poetry conclaves, marathons, and floral displays.

Next up, did you know that the Taj Mahal opens for night viewing only five days a month, around the full moon? This month, you are going to enjoy the night falls on 24th February, which means you can plan a trip to the Taj Mahotsav and also catch the Taj Mahal under the moonlight. Things to note, only 50 people can enter at once, and slots are restricted to just 30 minutes, so plan accordingly.

And finally, if you are someone who loves the outdoors, then you should know about the Taj Nature Walk. It's a nine-km nature trail that runs through green fields by the Yamuna River, less than a kilometre from the Taj's eastern gate. You'll get to catch a glimpse of the white marble dome from various angles and if you are lucky, you are going to spot some peacocks and golden orioles as well as palm squirrels and other animals.
Trust me, it is a breathtaking experience, especially during this season when the morning sun is mild, and spring is just around the corner.
