About this tour

See the Taj Mahal glowing under the full moon on a private evening tour, with hotel pickup in Agra, a private car and a guide briefing before you enter. The official Taj Mahal website describes the marble as golden when the moon shines. The Archaeological Survey of India lets visitors in after dark on only a few nights each month, so this tour is built around its schedule, and the booking form lists only the open nights.
  • How night viewing works: Night viewing runs on five nights a month: the full moon night and the two nights either side, never on a Friday. Sessions run from 8:00 PM to 11:59 PM in eight batches of up to 50 people, 30 minutes each. Report to Shilpgram, near the eastern gate, half an hour before your ticket time for a security check, and carry photo ID (your passport if you are an international visitor). Mobile phones are not allowed inside at night, so leave yours in the car: a still camera is allowed after the security check. The ASI lists the dates on its official night view page.
  • Ticket cost, for context: The night-viewing ticket is ₹750 for foreign visitors, ₹510 for Indian nationals and ₹500 for children aged 3 to 15. It is not included by default: add it as an option and we book it for you. The ASI sets the price and it can change.
  • Who this tour suits: Couples, photographers and repeat visitors who want something different from a daytime visit. Prefer daylight? Our Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour from Delhi catches the quietest hour, and our best-time guide covers the seasons.

Good to know

  • Know before you go: Night viewing does not include Fridays, when the Taj Mahal is closed. Rules and timings are set by the ASI and can change, so we double-check your date after you book. Mobile phones, video cameras, spare batteries, chargers, drones, tripods and food are not allowed at night viewing; a still camera is. Cloud or haze can hide the moonlight.

Good to know before you book

What's included in the price?

Every tour is private to your group, with an English-speaking guide and a private car (on the Gatimaan tour you travel to Agra on the scheduled express train). Most also include Taj Mahal and Agra Fort entry tickets in the price; the tour card says "Entry tickets included" when they do. Check the "Included" and "Not included" sections on the tour you're booking before you pay.

What happens after I book?

You get a confirmation email right away, with a link to view your booking any time. Then send us your hotel or pickup address on WhatsApp — and, if your tour includes entry tickets, each traveler's full name and nationality, which the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) needs for the tickets. You can also add the tour to your calendar from the booking page.

What's your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your tour starts. Cancel less than 24 hours before and you get a 50% refund of what you paid; no-shows aren't refunded. Refunds are started within 2 business days and usually reach your account 7–10 business days after that. Full details are on our Cancellation & Refund Policy page.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. Card and payment details are handled entirely by Razorpay — we never see or store them — and every payment is cryptographically verified on our server before a booking is confirmed.

What payment methods and currencies do you support?

Payments are processed securely through Razorpay. You can pay in Indian Rupees (INR) or US Dollars (USD) — switch with the currency menu at the top of the page. If a tour has no USD price, it's shown and charged in INR.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees. The price shown on the tour page — including any add-ons you select — is exactly what you pay.
