What it costs a family of four

INR 2,200

about AED 84.68

2 adults and 2 children aged 6 and 14, priced against this venue’s own published age bands.

Indian or SAARC national pay INR 1,080 — a saving of INR 1,120.

What to know

VERIFIED, and the clearest illustration of finding 1 in the whole project: about 1,100 rupees for a foreign visitor, 540 for a SAARC national and 50 for an Indian citizen. An extra charge applies to enter the mausoleum itself. CLOSED EVERY FRIDAY for prayers - people fly in and discover this. Go at sunrise: the marble changes colour, the crowds are thinner and the light is better. NIGHT VIEWING happens on five nights around each full moon only, in small groups, with tickets bought a day ahead from the ASI office. Tripods, food and drones are refused. Shoes must be removed. Socks are usually fine and shoe covers are sold at the gate.

Closed on Friday. Plan around it — this is the single most common wasted morning.

When to go

The planner warns of extreme heat in May; and hot in April, June, July; and wet in August. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
