Pre-Tour Advice
It is better to keep in mind some points before starting your travel to any tourist spot to uphold mindfulness and safety about the place and overall experience. Here are some friendly tips from our guides to tourists:
- Train Run Time:
Our guides locally have advised time and again to book your trips with us timed in a way that does not include traveling through the Gatimaan Express on Fridays. This is because the train is not operational for that day as the Taj Mahal remains closed for the day to offer communal prayers. Except that, the train is operational for the rest 6 days of the week.
- Tourist Photography Guide:
Photography inside the main mausoleum arena of the Taj Mahal is strictly prohibited by the authorities as a part of respectfulness to the deceased. Tourists traveling with us are advised to limit the use of photography only to the main garden and entry point. Moreover, visitors are also required to maintain silence within the main monument halls.
- Acceptable and Non-acceptable Items:
As a world heritage site and one of the 7 wonders, the Taj Mahal walls require special care and constant protection. To uphold this, visitors are requested to refrain from scratching on the marble walls within. It is also strictly prohibited to carry any and all tobacco products, outside eatables/chewables, arms or ammunition, most electric products. Guides advise to keep mobile phones on silent mode.
Following these basic rules and being mindful about the regulations help to maintain the sanctity and authenticity of the original site/monument as a part of our culture-rich heritage. Being respectful toward the mausoleum rules while soaking in the on of a kind architecture enhances the tourist experience even more!
