When to go

Because Oct – Mar is the most popular window to visit Taj Mahal, accommodation and flights fill up fastest then — book a few weeks ahead to lock in better rates and availability. If you prefer fewer crowds, the shoulder weeks on either side of this window are often quieter while staying pleasant.
