Select your visit date (not a Friday), choose Forenoon or Afternoon slot, pick the correct visitor category for each person, enter ID details, then complete secure payment. You will receive confirmation by email.

After payment, you receive a confirmation email with your booking details and e-ticket. Present the QR code or confirmation at the gate—on your phone or printed. Keep a backup copy in case of weak mobile signal.

Official Taj Mahal entry tickets are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or changed after purchase. Confirm your date, slot, visitor category, and ID details carefully before payment.

Forenoon tickets are valid until 12:00 PM and suit early visits, cooler temperatures, and sunrise photography. Afternoon tickets are valid until 6:10 PM and suit later schedules. Both are entry-only tickets for the same monument—not guided tours.

No. The Taj Mahal is closed every Friday for congregational prayers at the on-site mosque. Plan your Agra visit for Saturday through Thursday and do not book a Friday date.

ASI divides visitors into Foreigner, Indian, SAARC, and BIMSTEC categories, each with different pricing. Select the category that matches your nationality and bring matching ID at the gate—passport for foreigners, or Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence, voter ID, or passport for Indian citizens. Wrong categories can cause entry delays.

The West Gate is the main tourist entrance near Taj Ganj and is often busiest in the morning. The East Gate suits visitors staying on the eastern side of Agra and can be quieter at peak hours. Your ticket is valid at either gate—choose based on your hotel location and how early you arrive.

October to March offers the most comfortable weather. Within the day, a Forenoon slot with early arrival gives cooler temperatures, softer light, and shorter queues. Avoid Fridays and peak holiday weekends when possible.

In peak season (October–March) we recommend booking 3–7 days ahead, especially for Forenoon slots and weekends. Online booking secures your date and slot and helps you avoid sold-out days at the gate.

Allow 2–3 hours for a thorough visit including security checks, gardens, and the mausoleum platform. Arrive earlier than your slot end time—Forenoon ends at 12:00 PM and Afternoon at 6:10 PM—so queues and shoe-cover procedures do not cut your visit short.

No. Standard Taj Mahal entry tickets cover monument access only—not guided tours, transport, audio headsets, or Agra Fort. Licensed guides can be hired separately on site if you want a guided experience.

We accept major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) through our secure payment system.
