One can visit Taj Mahal right from sunrise to sunset except for Fridays. Night viewing is allowed five times a month. I would personally recommend right after dawn so that crowds could be avoided. If possible, make sure to get there at least 30 minutes before the gates are opened. However, if you have planned your trip during the months of November through February; there is no point in visiting the monument early, because winter mornings in Agra stand to be foggy.

Travelers are also known to click pictures in front of the shining pool so that the monument lies in the background. Make sure to capture some close-up shots of the monument itself, which would reveal the detailed designs of the monument and precious gemstones that are studded all over the construction.

The Ultimate Location of Taj Mahal

Well, if you are to visit Taj Mahal, do not miss out on its most prominent location or viewing spot called the Mehtab Bagh (meaning ‘moonlit garden’). The beautiful garden is aligned with the monument and has an equally intricate structure as well as design. Mehtab Bagh is the best place from where you can view Taj Mahal at a distance, ruling with its entire splendor.
