Sunset at Taj Mahal

A sunset tour is a great time to see the Taj in transformation, from the grand white monument to a shimmering mausoleum that leaves a lasting impression. The light of the setting sun is also ideal for taking pictures. The fading light of the sun often shows the Taj Mahal at its finest, views that a skilled photographer can capture with ease. The soft glow of the setting sun lights up the white marble of the Taj Mahal in a profusion of colors, creating a vision that is quite unforgettable. As the sun goes behind the massive minarets and the main structure, the myriad colours of the sky make an exquisite backdrop to the Taj Mahal.

Rann of Kutch

The Rann of Kutch, also known as the Great Rann of Kutch (there's a Little Rann of Kutch as well), is a remarkable place to visit in Gujarat. It's the world's largest salt desert, measuring over 16,000 square kilometers. A traveller’s dream, it looks even more fantastic as the sun sets on the arid landscape. It's best to head out into the Rann of Kutch only in the early morning or evening, otherwise the salt can be blinding. The full moon is the best time of month to see it, and cultural programs are usually held at Dhordo then. A moonlight Rann camel safari is magical.
