The beauty of the Taj Mahal, one of the wonders of the world, already widely reviewed in various writings. This time, I wanted to share some practical tips to visit attractions in Agra, India, is to visit you there more comfortably.
Book a train ticket
No matter how many days will you spend in Agra, the best way to get there from Delhi is by train - except in winter, when thick fog often delay the departure.
Delhi-Agra Train majors are the most popular is Shabtdi Bhopal Express, with a choice of classes as you wish. Order tickets in advance. You can order tickets by credit card payment through www.cleartrip.com or www.makemytrip.com.
Get ready queue
Security entrance to the Taj Mahal is extremely tight. This makes entry into the long queue, especially on Saturdays, Sundays, or any other holiday.
You have to queue twice: first when buying a ticket, both when they want to enter the gate. Queue ticket for 750 rupees (for foreigners) are usually not long. But the second line really challenging. You can wait for 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how many tourists who want to enter.

Officers separate queues for men and women, so do not let you in line at the wrong place. The line of women is usually much longer than men, because the guards have to check hand luggage one by one.
Save items in lockers
With cost 20 rupees, you can rent lockers to store bags. This storage place is located before the ticket purchase counter. Bring only necessary items, such as cameras, mineral water, cell phone, wallet and passport. The guide should also be abandoned.
Do not try to carry a backpack as I do. After queuing for nearly an hour, I was forced to store the bags in the lockers that are quite far from the gate and then lining up again.

Leave your food
You are prohibited from bringing food of any kind into the Taj Mahal complex. At the checkpoint, officers will check your body and the handbag you carry. Foods that are found to be directly thrown into the trash. You certainly do not want this to happen, right?
Tripod Cannot entry
For whatever reason, a tripod may not be used at all at the Taj Mahal. You may bring a tripod as long as the proper permits are obtained in Delhi (but reportedly the application process takes many months).
Because not carefully read the rules - and the officer who searched his bags did not pay attention to our cameras - we also managed to bring a tripod inside. Until the, when we issued a tripod, we went straight to the police and escorted to the police station.
You can make use of fences, walls, even the shoe to the camera jammed, so do not need help from others to take photos. Moreover, usually the shots just anyone less than satisfactory.
