No trip to India would be complete without a visit to the sub-continent's most celebrated landmark, the Taj Mahal.

The 16th Century monument was built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in memory of his wife Mumtaj Mahal.

Thanks to the Armchair Travel Company, it is now possible to experience the wonders of the Taj Mahal from the comfort of your desk.

The visitor can view panoramic pictures of the building, watch movies about various aspects of its history, or get a close-up view of some of its most interesting features.

Explore the Taj Mahal even offers a privileged tour of areas such as the crypt, roof and inner parts of the mausoleum which are closed to real-life visitors.

The beautiful pictures alone make this site well worth a visit.
