Taj Mahal Ticket Price, Entry Fee & Timings – Latest Info for Tourists

🕰️ Taj Mahal Timings, Tickets & Travel Tips

Seeing the Taj Mahal isn’t just about checking a box. It’s about picking the right moment — the right light, the right silence. Otherwise, you’ll just see a building. But when it’s quiet and glowing in the morning sun? It speaks. And it stays with you forever.

⏰ What time does the Taj Mahal open?

If you want the Taj to whisper its secrets, you have to get there before the city wakes up. The early hours are when the magic happens — the reflection in the water, the crisp air, and the silence that lets you feel the love it was built upon.

• Opens: 30 minutes before sunrise
• Closes: 30 minutes before sunset
• Closed: Every Friday (for prayers)

🎟️ Ticket Prices for 2025

The ticket system is simple. But if you want to experience the inner sanctum — the white marble mausoleum that holds the soul of the Taj — there’s an additional fee. And it’s worth it.

🌙 What about Night Viewing?

If you’re lucky to be in Agra around the full moon, night viewing is allowed on 5 days each month — the full moon night and two nights before and after. The Taj under moonlight is not just a view; it’s an experience that feels unreal.

• Timing: 8:30 PM to 12:30 AM (8 batches, 50 people each)
• Tickets: Available at Archaeological Survey of India, Agra office
• Entry Duration: 30 minutes per group
