Is there any way to obtain tickets for the Taj Mahal night viewing without being in Agra?

Accepted answer

Well, sort of. Maybe. If you're lucky.

Firstly, because the dates aren't always right at full moon, they can vary slightly. As such, the office of the Archeological Survey controls the tickets, the bookings and the tours.

From the official site:

visitors are requested to confirm the dates from the office of the Superintending Archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India, Agra Circle, 22 The Mall, Agra

So this leaves you with three options.

  1. Turn up as required and buy it like anyone else.
  2. There's both an email address and a phone number on the official site - consider contacting them and seeing if there's a way to purchase from outside the city - they may well be accommodating.
  3. Slightly sketchier - but if you know a local, get them to go on your behalf. Failing that, contact your accommodation staff, or a travel agent in Agra and see if they'll do it for you, or can suggest a means of accomplishing this.

Good luck, and enjoy - it sounds amazing!
