Has any one encountered Taj Mahal on a full moon night. If yes, please share your pics. I wish to do that in comming month.

I heard that the price for the ticket is Rs500 against the regular Rs 20. Is that true?

I was quite surprised I had to pay Rs 750 as a foreign tourist. But compared to major tourism sites around the World, it still very worthwhile ,and in fact a bit of a bargain.

You would not get to see anything from yamuna bank at night.

This price I heard is only for moon light. For other days its still Rs 20.

Most of the foreigners are, sad, yet there is no option other than paying it.

For moonlight, the indians are charged 500 and the foreigners are charged approx 2500 Rs, thats what i heard.
