Taj Mahal Sunset
Agra is unlike so many other popular tourist destinations; the cities main tourist attraction is not surrounded by 5 star hotels and other exclusive developments. The Taj Mahal stands on the edge of Agra, as it always has, within the very modest old side of the town.
The great bonus of this for budget travelers is that a hotel with roof terrace looking over the greatest wonder of the world the Taj Mahal costs the same price as a small meal. The Taj Mahal is best viewed at either sun rise or sun set and the budget hotels roof terraces make for an idea location to view this amazing spectacle, while daily life continues around you in the residential dwellings of Agra city.
Viewing the Sunset over the Taj Mahal in Agra in is one of the greatest activities of Agra as there is no continuous hassle from hawkers or beggars and the moment can be enjoyed with an ice cold beer which can be a blessing in the heat of summer. The best time of the day to view the Taj Mahal is by sun rise but this involves a very early start, and don't expect to be the only tourist out at this time of day - the entire complex will still have hundreds of visitors. The number in the morning is slightly less than the middle of the day but the popular photo spots will be shared with others. The morning sun reflects of the white marble stone and gives the Taj Mahal an orange tinge.
