The new view point at Mehtab Bagh will allow entry to tourists from morning 7 AM to 10 AM and 7 PM to 10 PM in the evening. The entry fee will be INR 20.


The view point has been developed by the Agra Development Authority. The objective is to give foreign tourists a different experience of beholding the Taj Mahal.
To battle with air pollution in Agra, the Agra District Administration has set up two air purifier machines at the entry gates of the monument.

Taj Mahal is one of the Seven Wonders of the World open to tourists all round the year. It is also open for night tours and full moon tours. However, given the large number of people that visit the monument each day, no tourist is allowed to remain beyond three hours inside the monument premises.
