As your host at The Orchid Retreat, I am Vikrant Puri, and my passion for uplifting and empowering disadvantaged groups has driven my work in social work for over 18 years. I have focused on areas such as women's empowerment, education, healthcare, village upliftment, youth skilling, and employment. In 2022, I took my commitment to making a difference to new heights by establishing a homestay that combines hospitality with a strong social objective of providing a safe and secure environment for visitors to Agra from around the world. Having a deep understanding of the challenges faced by travelers, I saw an opportunity to create a homestay that offers a supportive and safe environment.

Located in an urban neighborhood, The Orchid Retreat provides easy access to various attractions in and around Agra. Some of the must-visit places include the iconic Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Jama Masjid, Fatehpur Sikri, Itmad-Ud-Daulah’s Tomb, Akbar’s Tomb, Moti Masjid, Sikandra Fort, Jodha Bai ka Rauza, and Mehtab Bagh, among others. These landmarks offer a glimpse into the rich history and architectural marvels of the region. For shopping enthusiasts, Agra offers a vibrant shopping scene. The famous streets like Sadar Bazaar, Sanjay Palace, Subhash Bazaar, Kinari Bazaar, Raja Ki Mandi, Shah Market, Shahganj Bazaar, and Shoe Market are perfect destinations for indulging in retail therapy. In Agra, you can't miss the opportunity to buy exquisite marble crafts. From miniature marble replicas of the Taj Mahal to beautifully crafted vases, ashtrays, and ornamental boxes, these marble products are a testament to the city's artistic prowess. Agra is also renowned for its leather goods, including boots, belts, bags, slippers, and jackets. The craftsmanship and quality of these leather products make them popular among visitors. Additionally, rugs and carpets are another specialty of Agra. The intricately woven designs and vibrant colors make them a sought-after item for home decor. While shopping for stone and marble products, it's important to be mindful of the quality. Genuine marble is opaque and doesn't allow light to pass through. Being aware of this characteristic can help you identify authentic products. Exploring the city of Agra is not just about its historical sites but also about indulging in a memorable shopping experience. With its diverse range of products and bustling markets, Agra ensures that shopping enthusiasts will find something to cherish as a memento of their visit.
