Now, you can book tickets online for visiting ASI monuments

Tourists will now be able to book tickets online if they wish to or are planning to visit the historic monuments in the country. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with two private entities, i.e., Yatra and Bookmyshow, to make the online booking process smooth.
Visitors will now be able to easily log in to these sites and conveniently book tickets for around 141 historical sites, monuments and museums in India, such as Qutab Minar, Red Fort, Taj Mahal, Ajanta and Ellora caves and the Sun Temple.

This move has been initiated to ensure world-class e-ticket booking service to visitors. The move has also been put into force with an aim of supporting government initiative ‘Digital India’, and facilitating the digitisation process of ASI’s service. Officials mentioned that this partnership between ASI and the other entities will prove to be a significant drive in promoting cultural heritage and tourism in India. As per the reports, visitors can avail this online booking service at no additional cost.
Referring to the partnership, an official further stressed on the fact of promoting tourism in India and said, “Monuments and historical sites not only give a glimpse of our rich heritage, culture and art that spans over hundreds of years, they also form a solid foundation for the tourism sector in India, their marvels attracting millions of people from across the world and from within our own country. The Archaeological Survey of India has taken the lead in expanding e-ticketing for this segment.”
