What to expect
Jilaukhana (Forecourt)
The walking tour begins at the Jilaukhana, or forecourt, accessible from both the East and West gates. Here, we take in the grandeur of the Great Gate and debunk the myth that Emperor Shah Jahan ordered the artisans’ hands cut off after the Taj’s completion.
The journey continues into the Charbagh, or Paradise Gardens, where we explore the philosophical significance of its symmetrical design, the fountains, and the drum houses—one of which has been converted into a museum.
The tour continues toward the main mausoleum, highlighting key design elements—the Makrana marble adorned with Parchinkari inlay work, the leaning minarets, and the riverbed foundations. After exploring the inner sanctum, visitors are guided to face the Yamuna River, where the tour concludes with a story about the challenges the Taj Mahal faces today.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
