The sun slips gold across the Yamuna as the Taj Mahal’s white marble shifts from cool to warm—an instant that turns a visit into a memory. Arriving from Mumbai by early flight and a five-hour drive from Delhi, you’ll first find Mehtab Bagh’s lawns offering a riverside vantage where the monument seems to float, and later the marble itself up close, its carved screens and inlay work demanding a slow, respectful walk.
