Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour Tips

  1. The Taj Mahal opens 30 minutes before sunrise and closes 30 minutes before sunset, and it is closed on Fridays for general visitors.
  2. Ticket windows open 1 hour before sunrise and close 45 minutes before sunset at the gates.
  3. Official guidance confirms sunrise-based opening; plan to be at the gate at least 45–60 minutes before sunrise to clear security and be among the first inside.
  4. The light is soft and golden at sunrise, producing the classic pastel hues on the marble; winter sunrise is later and cooler, while summer sunrise is earlier and warmer.
  5. Head straight through the Great Gate (Darwaza-i-Rauza) to the central axis for reflections in the long pool, then vary angles from the mosque (west) and guest house (east) platforms for symmetry and side-light shots.
  6. If skies are hazy or crowded, consider returning late afternoon for warm tones and fewer harsh shadows, or visit Mehtab Bagh across the Yamuna for alternative vantage points at sunset.
  7. Friday is closed for general viewing; other days, sunrise entry offers the lightest crowds compared with mid-morning tour groups.
  8. Bring only essentials to speed up security: camera/phone, small daypack, water; avoid tripods and large bags which can slow screening or be restricted.
  9. Use the official battery shuttle from parking to the gate to save time and energy before dawn.
