Overview

Discover a different side of India’s most iconic monument with our Moonlight Taj Mahal Tour by Car from Delhi. This special evening experience allows you to admire the Taj Mahal under the moonlight during designated night-viewing sessions arranged by the authorities.

Your journey begins with pickup from your preferred location in Delhi. Travel by private air-conditioned car to Agra, a historic city known for its Mughal architecture, royal monuments, and rich cultural heritage.

On arrival, explore Agra Fort, an impressive red sandstone complex that reflects the power and architectural achievements of the Mughal Empire. Depending on your schedule, you may also visit a local handicraft market or enjoy a relaxing dinner at a restaurant in Agra.

The highlight of your tour is the special night viewing of the Taj Mahal. Reach the designated reporting point at Shilpgram in advance of your confirmed ticket slot and complete the required security checks. During the session, admire the white marble monument illuminated by moonlight from the designated viewing area.

Night viewing is available only on selected dates around the full moon, subject to official schedules and ticket availability. It is a limited-duration viewing experience from a designated distance, rather than a regular visit inside the Taj Mahal complex.

After your scheduled viewing, meet your driver and begin the return journey to Delhi. This tour is ideal for couples, photographers, history enthusiasts, and travelers seeking a memorable evening at one of the world’s most celebrated monuments.
