FAQ Related to Sunrise tour packages from New Delhi
What time is suitable for Taj Mahal early morning or evening?
Both the times are recommended suitable for planning Taj Mahal visit because a visitor can experience changes in the color of Taj Mahal. Early morning sunrise tour is frequently booked by visitor to avoid crowd because at sunset time you definitely face crowd. Also, early morning, a visitor can enjoy photography at multiple points inside the Taj Mahal premise.

Sunrise time is different in summer and winter for the Taj Mahal. The gates of Taj Mahal are opened 30 minutes before the sunrise. Sunrise time is 5:20 am in summer and 5:45 am in winter. We recommend you to book Taj Mahal sunrise trip in summer because in winter month, visibility is affected due to dense fog.
Is it possible to book Taj Mahal sunrise day trip from Delhi by train?
No. Actually there are no express trains from Delhi which arrive Agra by sunrise time. So, we recommend you to book taxi cab from Delhi for Taj Mahal sunrise tour. You must start from Delhi at midnight time to reach Taj Mahal before sunrise time. Please avoid midnight drive in month of December and January, because dense fog covered Taj Mahal, affecting the sunrise view.
Which gate is best for Taj Mahal sunrise sightseeing?
There are three gates for accessing inside the Taj Mahal premise. The south gate is closed during sunrise time, west and east gates are opened during sunrise time. We recommend you east gate because this gate is less busy at sunrise time in comparison to west gate.
