When everyone is in the Taj Mahal, go the Mehtab Bagh where you will enjoy a beautiful setting for all the pictures you want since the Taj Mahal is across the river. I recommend you to go there either early in the morning or right before you go to the Taj. More

The Mehtab Bagh, translated as Moonlight Garden, is a beautiful park located to the north of the Taj Mahal, across Yamuna River. Legend goes that the builder of the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan wanted to built a replica of the Taj in black marble at the Mehtab Bagh, but recent excavations have provided ample evidence for a garden complex.

You have come this far to see the Taj Mahal so why not see it from across the river with a completely unrestricted view of the Taj from a different angle? Evening was lovely with the Taj changing colour as the sun stared setting. Not crowded at all and a very peaceful garden to sit in and just take it... More

The reason for going to this moon garden was simply to have unobstructed view of the Taj. And yes, you get it totally! Will suggest to have a sunset excursion, worth the effort. Don't forget to have the evening chai at the outside stall...quite refereshing. More

To see the Taj Mahal from across the river, this is a peaceful park to visit. There are armed guards however, that prevent visitors from wandering on the riverbank. There are some lovely gardens here, but the main interest is seeing the Taj across the water. More
