Neemrana Fort (Rajasthan)
About 120 km from Noida, Neemrana Fort is a stunning 15th-century structure turned luxury heritage hotel.

Don't miss the Banke Bihari temple and the colorful bazaars of Vrindavan.
Agra
At just 3 hours from Noida, Agra is a timeless classic. Begin your day with a sunrise view of the Taj Mahal, then head to the majestic Agra Fort and the serene Mehtab Bagh. If you're a foodie, Agra's street eats—like bedai kachori and petha—are a must. Whether you're into architecture, history, photography, or just good food, Agra has something for everyone. Plan an early morning start to make the most of your day, and come back with a renewed sense of awe (and tons of great pictures).

Iran says US travel ban reflects 'racist mentality'
Tehran denounced on Saturday the US travel ban on Iranians and citizens of 11 other mostly Middle Eastern and African countries, saying Washington's decision was a sign of a " racist mentality ". US President Donald Trump signed on Wednesday an executive order reviving sweeping restrictions that echo his first-term travel ban, justified on national security grounds following a firebomb attack at a pro-Israel rally in Colorado. Alireza Hashemi-Raja, the foreign ministry's director general for the affairs of Iranians abroad, called the measure, which takes effect June 9, "a clear sign of the dominance of a supremacist and racist mentality among American policymakers". The decision "indicates the deep hostility of American decision-makers towards the Iranian and Muslim people", he added in a statement released by the ministry. Apart from Iran, the US ban targets nationals of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. A partial ban was imposed on travellers from seven other countries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Undo Hashemi-Raja said the policy "violates fundamental principles of international law" and deprives "hundreds of millions of people of the right to travel based solely on their nationality or religion". The foreign ministry official said that the ban was discriminatory and would "entail international responsibility for the US government", without elaborating. Iran and the US severed diplomatic ties shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and relations have remained deeply strained since. Live Events
