We had sunset and sunrise excursions to the Taj Mahal. We enjoyed the opportunity to see it twice, and the ability to get photos from both times. The sunrise visit was at a time with fewer people, with cooler air, and more color. It is too bad there is so much smog from the farmers burning, as we lost a lot of the drama of the sunset and sunrise. No photo can do this sight justice. And the hotel we stayed in was amazing.

It was great to see the Taj Mahal at sunset! As expected, it was crowded but our hotel was close and able to get there and do our tour in time to see the sun come down. Although there was an option for sunrise the next morning as well, the pollution would not have provided the best view of the Taj Mahal.
