Local knowledge for Agra

Where to stay

Taj Ganj, the cluster of lanes immediately south of the Taj Mahal's south gate, is where most budget travelers end up. Streets like Chowk Kagziyan and Shamsabad Road are lined with guesthouses, and you can walk to the monument in five minutes without negotiating a tuk-tuk.

Getting around

Buy Taj Mahal entry tickets at the ASI portal before you arrive. During October through February the walk-up queues run long and online slots can sell out a day ahead.
Mehtab Bagh, the garden on the north bank of the Yamuna directly opposite the Taj, gives you the same postcard view for a small fraction of the Taj's foreigner admission.
Tuk-tuk drivers at the Taj Ganj hostel strip quote three to four times the going rate to Agra Fort or Fatehpur Sikri. Walk a block away from the tourist concentration before you haggle, or just use Ola.

When to go

Rooms fill fast and prices spike from October through February when temperatures are mild and Agra lands on almost every North India circuit. May through August is brutally hot, then humid, and hostels drop rates significantly to fill beds.
