The Taj Nature Walk, developed by the Social Forestry Division of Agra, offers a refreshing contrast to the bustling city and crowded tourist spots. Spanning 70 hectares near the Taj Mahal's East Gate, this green oasis provides a tranquil environment to appreciate nature and enjoy unique views of the iconic monument. The park features well-maintained walking trails that wind through a diverse landscape of flora and fauna. Visitors can explore various indigenous and migratory bird species, including colorful kingfishers and graceful herons. Lucky visitors might also spot mammals, reptiles and butterflies. The undulating terrain includes small hills and quiet dells, creating secluded spots for relaxation. Several watchtowers along the trail offer different perspectives of the Taj Mahal. Historically, the area was a reserve forest and a workplace for the poet Pandit Satya Narain, also known as 'Brij Kokil'. In his honor, the park is named 'Kaviratan Pandit Satya Narain Taj Nature Walk'. The park aims to educate visitors about forests, wildlife, and natural heritage, promoting conservation. The best time to visit is between October and April when the park is full of blooming flowers. Pack a picnic to enjoy on the well-kept lawns under the trees with a scenic view of the Taj Mahal.
