A recent visit to Fatehpur-Sikri turned into a nightmare due to non-stop harassment by the “guides”. I am sure that my experience is not unique and this happens to most tourists who visit the place, especially foreigners. I have created a form that people who have faced such harassment can use to send an e-mail to various authorities who deal with tourism in India and in Uttar Pradesh (the state that houses the Taj and Fatehpur Sikri). E-mails you send will go to:
- Incredible India, the nodal organisation for tourism in India
- District Magistrate of Agra, the chief administrator of the district
- Director General of Tourism of Uttar Pradesh.
- A copy to me for the record.
Please take a moment to send them a mail if you faced harassment yourself. If you are planning to visit Fatehpur Sikri, please send them a mail asking if the place is safe to visit. Sufficient e-mails may get a response from the administration.
