YouTuber and Instagram influencer Sean Hammond, well-known for his travel vlogs, is currently touring India and sharing his experiences from the streets of Delhi. In one of his recent videos, Sean urged travelers to visit a spot that amazed him, though it’s neither the iconic Taj Mahal nor Delhi’s historic Red Fort. Instead, he recommended Agra Fort, a destination he found captivating.
“Everyone talks about The Taj Mahal, but this place is right beside it and it’s half the price. It’s roughly four times bigger than The Taj Mahal,” Sean shared, building curiosity among his viewers.

A few seconds into the video, he revealed Agra Fort as the must-see location, initially calling it the “Red Fort” before clarifying his mistake. “So if you are in Agra, make sure you don’t miss The Red Fort—well, actually Agra Fort,” he corrected.
Describing his experience at Agra Fort, Sean highlighted its remarkable structure and historical richness. “It’s got all these little hidden pathways, and though it looks like it’s in excellent condition, it was built over 500 years ago,” he explained. Through his camera, Sean also captured the stunning view of the Taj Mahal visible from within the fort’s walls.
Expressing his admiration for Agra, Sean posted, “The Taj Mahal (for those who don’t know) is in Agra, a city many tourists visit just for a day to see the Taj, then move on. Agra may not have the landscapes, markets, or nightlife of other Indian cities, but it’s still worth exploring.”

Several users even recommended other destinations for Sean’s India tour. “Taj Mahal is overrated. Visit the greatest spectacle made by humans on earth—Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra,” one suggested. Another wrote, “Do visit the Thanjavur Big Temple! It’s beautiful.”
