Yes, the Taj Mahal is strictly closed to the general public every Friday for religious prayers at the mosque within the complex. Plan your Agra itinerary accordingly. On Fridays, we recommend visiting Agra Fort, Itmad-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), or Mehtab Bagh for a stunning sunset view of the Taj.
Yes, foreign tourists must carry their original physical passport for identification at the Taj Mahal entrance gates. Digital copies or photocopies are not accepted by CISF security.

Sunrise is the most magical time — the marble glows golden in the early light and crowds are minimal. Gates open 30 minutes before sunrise. See our opening time guide for seasonal timings. Sunset from Mehtab Bagh is a stunning alternative if you prefer a more relaxed viewing experience.
Peak season (October–March) sees heavy tourist footfall, especially on weekends and holidays. Early morning visits (before 8 AM) are essential to avoid congestion. Our licensed guides know the optimal routes and timing to navigate crowds efficiently. Consider weekday visits for a significantly quieter experience.
Absolutely! The Golden Triangle (Delhi → Agra → Jaipur) is India's most popular tourist circuit. From Agra, Jaipur is approximately 4 hours by expressway. We offer multi-day Golden Triangle packages as well as same-day trips from Delhi to Agra that can be combined with a Jaipur extension.
Delhi's top heritage sites include the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, India Gate, and the bustling lanes of Old Delhi. See our things to do in Delhi guide for a comprehensive list with insider tips from local guides.
We recommend 2–3 days to cover Delhi's major highlights comfortably. Use our Delhi 1-day itinerary if you're short on time. Many travelers combine Delhi with a day trip to Agra for the Taj Mahal and then continue to Jaipur for the Golden Triangle circuit.
Delhi is generally safe for tourists, especially in well-traveled areas around monuments, hotels, and markets. Standard travel precautions apply. Our licensed guides ensure you navigate the city safely and comfortably, avoiding tourist traps and ensuring authentic experiences.
