Visit this place in the evening to experience the best views of the aTaj Mahal. The garden is very average and not really maintained but the location of the garden makes it a must visit place. Check the timings before you go as it closed down in late evening.

I have rated this attraction more for its excellent views of the Taj from across the river rather than for the condition of the gardens. It is definetly worth visiting and I suggest going there late in the afternoon as you can get some excellent photos with the TAj behind you but without the crowds. The gardens are poorly managed...

I headed here on the day that the Taj is closed (Friday) and was amazed to be one of 10 tourists here. This is a lovely peaceful site to view the Taj from. Highly recommended

This place is just an average place for a garden. But excellent place to catch a great view of the Taj Mahal. This is located on the bank opposite to the one with the Taj Mahal. Very good place to watch the Taj during sunset.

We went to the pensive garden of Mehtab Bagh or “Moonlight Garden” (“Mehtab” meaning moonlight, “Bagh” meaning “garden”), across the river from the Taj Mahal, which gives a contemplative view of the great monument. It is divided into quadrants each of which contains various plants from the Mughal era. In the center is a fountain which produces a mist through... More

Mehtab Bagh is the best place to see the Taj Mahal at the time of sunset. This is quite place. One can sit there and enjoy the changing colours of the Taj Mahal as the sun goes down. The garden is very beautiful.
