Why Take a Sunrise Tour of the Taj Mahal?

The Taj Mahal at sunrise is something else — calm, peaceful, and absolutely stunning. The white marble glows in pastel hues, and the gardens are still drenched in morning dew. Here’s why sunrise is the best time to visit:

Fewer tourists = better photos and a quieter atmosphere
Cooler temperatures, especially important in warmer months
Golden hour lighting makes your pictures look magazine-worthy
Deeper connection to the monument without distractions

It’s a soul-stirring experience you won’t forget.
