When to visit Taj

The city of Agra experiences summers during the period between the months of April and June, making it unpleasant to be visited. Similarly the tourists also avoid the monsoon season from July to August. The best time to visit Taj Mahal is winters (from September to March). The weather remains pleasant during this period. Since Agra lies in the plains of Northern India the tourists need the protection of warm clothes during the winters.

It is recommend that at least one full day should be spent in Taj, to enjoy it completely at different times of the day. The location of Taj enhances its beauty manifolds. At dawn Taj is at it's best when it spreads the magic of its beauty in the soft whitish-pink shade. At noon Taj Mahal is a dazzling white monument sparkling like a diamond.

Try arriving just as it opens or few minutes before the closing time spending few moments with Taj in privacy would become the golden moments of your life.
