Every news that comes with regard to technological improvement in the government systems receives a cheer, but this one receives a cheer from foreigners around the world. Tourists can book tickets for visiting Taj Mahal online. Taj Mahal is truly a WONDER, its sheer symmetry, smooth marble and structure will captivate you. Many people do not like anything about India except Taj mahal. They say India still has to work up to reach higher but Taj Mahal is one of the most amazing sights.
Yes, one just needs to visit the following website -
http://www.tajmahal.gov.in/ticketing.html
For a foreign tourist the charges are Rs. 750 and for foreigners from SAARC countries the charges are Rs.510/-. The website mentions everything about the visiting timings, gate entrances, amount payable in local currency of your country.
This will make things easier for every visitor who has travelled from Delhi to reach Agra solely for visiting Taj mahal. The time it takes by car is -2-3 hours ( on high speed highway) and train also takes about the same time. Agra is in Uttar Pradesh, this means that many touts, beggars, chain snatchers are going to be vying for your money. Foreigners are advised to be careful at all times during such visits. Its a crowded city with no major economic reform. One needs to be cautious. Many times foreigners have taken security officers for cover, specially solo female foreign travellers. They have benefitted from such security as the security officers protect them from unwanted attention, touts, travel agents on the road. There are many fast food chains near Taj Mahal, Agra from Mcdonalds to KFC. Do not try road side food if you care about your stomach.
Taj Mahal is a wonder and you will fall in love with it but be careful of touts that roam around everywhere in and around Taj Mahal. Do not worry too much, just be careful.
Recently, a californian woman lost her jewellery and had to go from pillar to post to get her complaint registered with the police, now the government has taken swift action and made sure that police comes for rescue operation to the place where foreigners are stuck. Just call 100 , no prefix or suffix, no code in case you are anywhere in India.
Anywhere one feels cheated by taxi drivers, hoteliers, travel guide or any other touts , please call 100 and the police will come immediately for help at the destination.
The police in India is becoming more responsive to the security of foreigners in India, they are faster to reach at the spot and even faster to lodge a complain ( it could take days in earlier times)
Whenever you feel stuck the best thing to do is call the police - 100
The call automatically connects you to the police team that takes necessary steps to ensure that safety and security is maintained.
Even Tom cruise specially travelled to visit Taj on his maiden journey to India.
Taj Mahal is a beautiful place to see but many times such an experience can become sour because of the cheats, touts and overcharging tour guides hounding you throughout.
The cheapest way to reach Taj Mahal, Agra,Uttar Pradesh, India is through volvo buses that leave from central Delhi and arrive in Agra in approximately 4-5 hours. These cabs are generally Air conditioned and the new trend is the Volvo brand so most out of city travel buses are volvo.
