Best time to visit the Taj Mahal - Agra Sightseeing Tour

Heading to the Taj Mahal from Jaipur? Both sunrise and sunset visits offer unique magic—but early morning is generally the best bet for most travelers, especially when starting from Jaipur.

---

Sunrise Visit: Serene & Ideal

• Fewer crowds and much cooler air make for a peaceful, comfortable experience. A perfect option if you want solitude or great photos. 

• Soft, golden-pink light bathes the marble in a dreamlike glow—perfect for capturing its delicate beauty. 

• Local travelers confirm: “Go in early morning—the Taj view at sunrise is phenomenal,” and “visit early morning hours—between 8–11 am, as there will be less crowd.” 

• During hot months, like May, early starts (around 5:30 am) let you beat the heat. 

---

Sunset Visit: Dramatic & Romantic

• Vivid, warm hues—orange, pink, purple—transform the Taj into a dramatic, vibrant scene. Great for evocative snapshots. 

• Livelier atmosphere, full of energy—ideal for romantics or those who enjoy a bustling vibe. 

• Mehtab Bagh across the Yamuna offers a beautiful rear silhouette framing. 

---

Things to Keep in Mind

• Winter mornings (Dec–Jan) may suffer from fog, reducing visibility. 

• Crowds at sunset can be intense—especially later in the evening. 

• The site is closed on Fridays, so schedule accordingly.
