Welcome to IndiaMike!

You might want to do one of two things:

** Look up AGRA in your guidebook; it will give you the names of hotels, entry fees,major sites to be seen, etc.

OR

** Click on FORUMS at the top left side of the page, and find AGRA in bold type on the list. Click there and there will be many many threads that should cover most of your desires.

What on earth is an "Emergency location for tourists"?

Whatever it is, I've never felt the need to know one, despite considering myself a fairly well organised and careful traveller.
