*No single supplement - based on sharing accommodation with a member of the same sex. However if you require or prefer a room of your own, please note that a small surcharge will apply
**Please note that from April 2017, the Taj Mahal's main dome will undergo mud pack therapy, making it likely the dome will be obscured by iron scaffolding, and portions of the white marble facade will be covered in mud and plastic sheets during the cleaning process. The restorations will be carried out in sections, and the work is expected to last one year.
