Despite the security (actually be glad there is...), the long lines, and the folks peddling their wares, this ranks at the top of the must sees in the World. When we visited in December 2005 in was early afternoon and though overcast, the White Marble still shown brightly. This time around in the morning of a December 2008 day, the... more

Very early on New Years Day 2008 we arrived by coach a short walk away from the Taj Mahal. Having heard the story behind it and it being the New Year I, along with my fellow travellers began to feel a little emotional about the sight that we were shortly to see. We parked about a 15 minute walk away... more

I drove with 3 adults and 4 kids from Noida (town adjoining Delhi) to the Taj, a distance of 210 kms and took over 4 hours on December 25, 08 (christmas, a holiday). The highway is crowded and you can spot a lot of tourists in private taxis and buses during this season going to Agra which adds to the... more

Took some great advice from Trip Advisor members. Took the train the night before, stayed at the Taj View hotel to watch the sun rise from my 4th floor window, and the best advice was to go when they open at 6AM. I was one of the first to enter and did not have to worry about crowds or heat.... more

Taj Mahal at distance looked wonderful from the fort, with Yamuna at the backdrop. The next morning, I woke up early and was at the gates of Taj as early as six. But there was already a big queue and a lot of people seemed to be keen to be at Taj during sunrise. As the sun comes up, Taj... more
