Nitin Sambhi via watsapp @
+919650148702. The cost for the trip are, Innova (3pax max): 8420 Rp for
driver and car + 1050 Rp for English speaking guide. Larger groups can
get a 8seater bus at 13900Rp. At the end of the trip, tips for the guide
is 600Rp and the driver is 400Rp.
The journey takes about 3.5 -
4hrs and will take you through the countryside before hitting the
highway. There will be a toilet break halfway through the journey. The
bus will take you just outside the Taj and you need to pay 750 Rp for
going in which includes a shoe cover and water.
From where the bus takes you to the Taj, you have an option of travelling via a golf buggy, horse carriage or camel. Prices for horse and camel is 300Rp and 500 Rp respectively. We took the buggy because the ride was only like 5 minutes.
The guide will give a
detailed explanation on the history of the Taj Mahal and will also offer
various spots to take nice photos (Taj thru sunglasses, holding the Taj
on palm etc.) So this will be a good spot to take your DSLR and
what-not. Video cameras are not allowed once you are inside the Taj
Mahal but camera phones are ok.

At
the end of the Taj Mahal visit, we were taken to this shop that sells
art pieces ranging from jewellery boxes to marble tables. Its supposed
to be works from the descendants of the craftsmen that build the Taj. A
little pricey though as the jewllery box can cost 20 SGD while the
marble tables can cost up to 10000USD.
You can also have the option of going to the Aggra Fort if you have time available but check with the guy on the cost.
If you got a clear day there
can go la.Visit once in a lifetime is good enough. Best to go during
the cooler seasons. Hot seasons not worth the effort.
