Originally uploaded by slaptaxi

There is both a best time of year and a best time of day to visit the Taj Mahal. The former ensures the best weather for your visit, while the latter ensures the best photo conditions for your pictures of the Taj Mahal.

Best Time of Year to Visit the Taj Mahal

As for India in general, the best time of year to visit the Taj Mahal is from October to March. The weather at this time of year will be mild, and even a bit cool in December and January.

October to November and February to March will be warm to slightly hot, but nothing like the scorching heat of the summer or the torrential rains of the monsoon season.

Best Time of Day to Visit the Taj Mahal

The best time of day to visit the Taj Mahal is the early morning. Depending on the time of year, the Taj Mahal opens to visitors at different hours, but it always opens at sunrise.

Get there early to buy a ticket and wait in line so that you can be sure to get a picture of the Taj Mahal in the best morning light.
