I went to Sikri in Nov last year for the first time. I was not expecting it to be so beautiful and well kept. It seems you had some very bad experience there. In case you feel things can change by putting forth your observation, please do share them. In general we like a place or not highly depends upon the experience with the people in that place too. We MUST learn as we Indians (esp the North indians, I am part of it) have very bad reputation among tourists and its our conduct in general that create such reputation. Hi Shreyasi,

It was one of my favorite destinations too...until I revisited it again at the end of January. We had actually gone on a bird watching trip to Bharatpur and I was very keen that we cover Fatehpur as well. But, now I wish I hadn't gone. It was disillusioning to see the degeneration of the place, the way it has been forced to become a parasite for the entire town around it. I don't blame the residents of the area but how can one not be upset at the way our rich history is sold for so little every single day? I had gone to Fatehpur Sikri after 9 years! I hope things are better in 2017. Hi Manish,
