Mehtab Bagh, whose name means "moonlit garden," is a beautiful green spot in Agra near the Taj Mahal. To see the Taj Mahal in Agra, go to the park. It gives you the best view of the landmark without all the people, and you can get a great picture of the marble tomb.

The yard is a peaceful haven and one of the key PLACES TO VISIT IN AGRA. Ruler Babur, the first ruler of the Mughal group, built it. The Mughals built it as the last of eleven parks like this.

It was built in the style of a classic Mughal Garden called a Charbagh. The Bagh is thought to have been built so that Shah Jahan could see the Taj Mahal from there. At night, when the moon was out, the water in the Bagh showed off the tomb in all its beauty.

Why is Mehtab Bagh famous?

Today, many people like to watch the sunset at Mehtab Bagh. For nature lovers, it is also a treat. There are lots of flowering plants and trees to choose from. In honor of its royal past, the park also has a huge number of different kinds of fruit trees.

Mehtab Bagh is a group of Charbagh gardens in Agra. It is on the other side of the Taj Mahal from the bank of the Yamuna River. Agra's Bagh aligns with the Taj Mahal’s Park and offers a beautiful view of the building.

What are the special features of Mehtab Bagh?

It has a beautiful view of the Taj Mahal from across the Yamuna River. At night, this park becomes very serene, with its paths, water fountains, and big pools that look exactly like the Taj Mahal.

It is a wonderful place to sit and take pictures, as it is very green and quiet. People who book the AGRA TOUR PACKAGE have to go to Mehtab Bagh. This yard is beautiful, as many fruit trees, like guava, lemon, and jamun, grow there.

The best time to visit

If you want to enjoy Mehtab Bagh, go there in the winter. It starts in November and lasts until February. Around sunset, you can get the best view of the Taj Mahal without going inside by going to the Bagh Taj lookout.
