Hello!
I used the Diwali holidays to go to the Taj Mahal for the first time in my life.
The Taj Mahal was more spectacular than I had imagined.
The Taj Mahal is one of the must-visit places in India.

How to get to the Taj Mahal
Since I live in Bangalore, I flew from Bangalore to Delhi and called a taxi from Delhi to Agra, where the Taj Mahal is located.

With the app "Make my trip", you can book a taxi by setting your destination, pickup location, and time.

When I looked it up on Google Maps, it was said that it can be reached in about 4 hours by car, but the road was congested probably because I left Delhi around 14 o'clock, and in my case it took 5 hours.
Also, the driver said that he was hungry and took a break on the way.
Such freedom is also a good thing in India, good or bad lol
If you go by car, I recommend early in the morning、、、 I stayed at the hotel "Taj Hotel & Convention Centre, Agra".
It is located about 2 km from the Taj Mahal, so I recommend it!

The Taj Mahal is open from 6am.
There was a golf cart from a place near the hotel, so they took it to the entrance gate.

Golf carts also seemed to run from 6 a.m. and left when they were full.
I heard that the Taj Mahal would be full of people soon, so I went in time for the 6 o'clock entrance time.
Surprisingly, it gets cold in the morning, so if you go early in the morning, it is recommended to bring a light jacket.
I bought tickets for the Taj Mahal online in advance.

It was awesome to say the least!!
In the end, I was at the Taj Mahal from 6 a.m. to 9:3、、、0 a.m. lol
I took pictures in various places and toured the Taj Mahal.
Breakfast at the hotel was until half past ten, so I hurried back to the hotel and ate a breakfast buffet lol
I was satisfied to spend a relaxing time while drinking alcohol at the roof bar of the hotel from the evening.
We were also able to see the Taj Mahal from the roof bar.
