Some female visitors prefer to travel solo for once in life. It make their instincts even more strong with time. Keeping in mind the frequent demand of solo female travellers to hire the services of a female tour guide for the Taj Mahal, to feel secure, we have started using the service of a licensed lady guide for the Agra sightseeing tour. These lady tour guides are certified with government licenses, fluent in English and possess good knowledge of history. The price to book a female tour guide is the same as fixed by IATO. Some female guests coming from Muslim countries like Iran, Iraq, Kuwait etc prefer female tour guides for local sightseeing because of their conservative countries where women are not comfortable with unknown males. Solo travelling really allowed me to introspect the real me and learnt so much from it.

During summer, Agra is very hot so visitors should wear light clothing and must apply sunscreen.Couple wearing wedding dress for photoshot are not allowed.
The traditional treatment to clean the marble of the Taj Mahal is mud therapy. Chemical-free mud paste (Multani Mitti) is used to restore the natural shine and colour of the Taj Mahal. The major vulnerability to the Taj Mahal is air pollution, oxidation of marble, environmental neglect and acid rain which react with the marble and form a powder-like substance (calcium nitrate and sulphur nitrate) which is then washed away by rain leaving yellow stains on it. Mud packs have been an effective way for ASI to remove the yellow stains from the surface of the Taj Mahal. ASI is not leaving any stone unturned to mitigate air pollution by reducing the use of energy derived from fossil fuels. Installing solar lamps and running electric vehicles near the Taj Mahal are commendable steps of the government to bring down air pollution. The local government is building a new dam to maintain the flow of water into the river Yamuna and checking the discharge of sewage water only after proper treatment before pouring it into the river to control water pollution.

The Archaelogical survey of India (ASI) has inspected the basement area of the Taj Mahal on many occasion and outrightly rejected theory of 22 rooms.
